ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES
Engineering Services with SolidWorks
Innovative Constructions from Darmstadt, Mühltal & Rieste
Since 2000, 3defacto has been delivering customized engineering design services for mechanical engineering. Whenever standard solutions fall short, we provide creative, manufacturing-ready engineering solutions – from the initial idea to the realized special machine.
Our experienced engineers combine technical expertise, creativity, and extensive project experience to deliver efficient and cost-effective solutions. They integrate seamlessly into existing teams and handle projects of any scale – from individual machine components to complex special-purpose machines.
Engineering that fits. Technology that works.
We rely on certified SolidWorks professionals, structured methods, and proven processes. Our services range from concept development and project management to visualizations, simulations, and production-ready drawings – including CE documentation and compliance with international standards.
