CAD Design & Engineering
At HM Metal Works, great products start with great design. Whether you have a rough sketch, concept files, or a fully engineered idea, our design team works with you to refine, optimize, and prepare your project for production. We specialize in translating your vision into precision CAD models and detailed drawings that meet real-world manufacturing requirements.
HM Metal Works provides in-house CAD design and engineering support to ensure every metal fabrication project begins with accuracy, clarity, and buildability. Serving clients across New Jersey, New York City, and Pennsylvania, we work closely with architects, contractors, designers, and commercial teams to translate ideas into fabrication-ready solutions.
Whether you’re developing an architectural feature, a custom hospitality fixture, or a production component, our CAD capabilities help streamline the process from concept through fabrication.
Our design capabilities include:
-Concept development & consultation
We help clarify your goals and refine your ideas.
-3D CAD modeling & drafting
We will produce clean, accurate files ready for fabrication.
-Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
We optimize geometry, tolerances, and material use to reduce cost and improve performance.
-Support for a wide range of file formats
Ensuring flexibility and collaboration with your engineers or partners.
By investing in thoughtful design and engineering early in the process, we help ensure your product functions beautifully and is efficient to produce at any scale — from one-off prototypes to full production runs.
Our CAD team works directly alongside our fabrication shop, ensuring every design is created with real-world production in mind. From weldability and proper tolerances to efficient fabrication workflows, clean architectural finishes, and code-compliant installation, our in-house CAD process ensures that what’s modeled on screen translates seamlessly into a precise, build-ready final product.
HM Metal Works serves as a fabrication partner for project teams throughout the tri-state region. We frequently collaborate with architects and interior designers developing hospitality environments, general contractors managing commercial build-outs, and brands requiring custom fabricated elements that meet both aesthetic and functional standards.
With in-house CAD support, we help project teams stay aligned from early design through final execution.
We produce fabrication-ready design files including:
-2D CAD layouts and part drawings
-3D modeling for custom assemblies
-DXF files for CNC laser cutting
-Shop drawings and fabrication prints
-Architectural metalwork detailing
-Bracket, frame, and fixture design
-Installation coordination drawings
