Engineering Design Services

From Concept to Production-Ready Designs

Mayfly Manufacturing provides engineering design services focused on turning ideas into manufacturable, production-ready components and assemblies. Our design work is tightly integrated with our CNC machining capabilities, allowing us to create designs that balance function, cost, and manufacturability.

Whether you’re developing a new product, refining an existing design, or recreating a legacy part, we bring a practical, shop-floor perspective to every project.

Engineering Design with Manufacturability in Mind

Design decisions directly affect part cost, lead time, and quality. Our engineering design services emphasize designs that work in the real world, not just on a screen.

We work closely with customers to:

  • Reduce unnecessary complexity
  • Optimize features for CNC machining and manufacturability
  • Improve part performance and reliability
  • Minimize production risk and cost

Because we also manufacture parts, our designs reflect how components are actually made.


Our Engineering Design Capabilities

We support a wide range of engineering design needs, from early concepts through complete production documentation.

Prototype & Product Development

  • Concept development and refinement
  • Design iteration based on functional requirements
  • Support from initial prototype through production readiness

Piece-Part & Component Design

  • Design of individual machined components
  • Optimization for CNC milling and machining processes
  • Material selection guidance

Full Assembly Design

  • Multi-part assemblies and sub-assemblies
  • Fit, function, and interface considerations
  • Design intent aligned with manufacturing constraints

Reverse Engineering

  • Recreation of existing or legacy components
  • Updating outdated or missing documentation
  • Improving designs for modern manufacturing methods

Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Consulting

  • Review of existing designs for cost and quality improvements
  • Tolerance optimization
  • Feature simplification and risk reduction

CAD / CAM & Documentation

Clear, accurate documentation is essential for successful manufacturing. We provide:

  • CAD/CAM modeling
  • 3D solid models
  • Complete 2D engineering drawings
  • Manufacturing-ready documentation for CNC machining

Our deliverables are created to be clear, accurate, and production-ready, reducing back-and-forth during quoting and manufacturing.


Who Our Engineering Services Are For

Our engineering design services support customers who need:

  • Prototype development and refinement
  • Production-ready designs for CNC machining
  • Updates to legacy or undocumented parts
  • A manufacturing partner who understands design intent

We regularly support engineers, startups, product developers, and manufacturing teams who want designs that translate cleanly to the shop floor.


Why Work with Mayfly Manufacturing

  • Engineering and manufacturing under one roof
  • Practical, manufacturing-driven design decisions
  • Clear communication and realistic feedback
  • Designs optimized for CNC machining and production

Our goal is simple: deliver designs that are easy to manufacture, perform as intended, and scale reliably.
