Engineering & Product Development

Have a drawing? Great. Only have a sample — or just an idea? We can work from that too. Our engineers turn whatever you have into a fully specified, manufacturable component.

Engineering-led, always

Where every Aura project starts.

Engineering is not a department at Aura — it's the front door. Before anything is quoted or manufactured, our team reviews your part the way a manufacturer would: material, tolerances, process fit, cost drivers and quality risks.

That review pays for itself. A small design-for-manufacturing adjustment before tooling can remove an entire operation from your part — permanently.

Working from any starting point

  • You have full documentation — we validate it for manufacturability and quote directly.
  • You have only a sample — we reverse-engineer it into CAD and drawings you own.
  • You have an idea — we develop the concept into a part that can actually be made, at a cost that makes sense.

Deliverables

What lands on your desk.

Complete manufacturing package

3D model, 2D drawing, material spec, finish spec and packaging spec — a single package any qualified manufacturer can build from, revision-controlled from day one.

  • STEP
  • PDF
  • DWG / DXF
  • SLDPRT

DFM report

Draft angles, wall thicknesses, radii, undercuts, tolerance realism — flagged before they become tooling problems, with concrete change proposals and cost impact.

  • Process fit
  • Cost drivers
  • Risk flags

Prototype plan

The fastest sensible route to a part in your hand — 3D print, machined one-off or soft tool — with timing and cost for each loop.

  • 3D Print
  • CNC One-off
  • Soft Tooling

Quotation with options

Not one number — a decision: process alternatives, volume breaks and tooling amortization, so you can choose the economics that fit your program.

  • Volume breaks
  • Tooling options
  • Lead times
