Product Design
Have an idea you need help designing? We help you take it from napkin sketch to detailed concept, ready to move toward prototyping and production.
Glad Designs is a Colorado-based mechanical engineering firm helping entrepreneurs, inventors, and small businesses turn ideas into tangible, production-ready goods — with CAD, prototyping, and the documentation to back it.
Every project gets the same end-to-end attention — from first concept sketches to the drawings and BOMs your shop can actually build from.
Have an idea you need help designing? We help you take it from napkin sketch to detailed concept, ready to move toward prototyping and production.
We specialize in designing products for manufacturing — creating the drawings and bill of materials necessary to build your product from scratch.
In-house 3D printing with our Ultimaker S5. Dual extrusion means we can quickly build complex, functional plastic parts at the press of a button.
Have an idea worth protecting? We've worked with dozens of inventors to prepare drawings and specifications ready to file with the USPTO.
You'll always know what's next. Each stage hands off a clean deliverable so you can choose to keep going, pause, or take it elsewhere.
We learn what you're trying to build, who it's for, and what success looks like — then scope a path that fits your budget and timeline.
3D CAD in SOLIDWORKS, renderings, and rapid-iteration prototyping so you can hold the idea in your hands before you commit to tooling.
Manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and the spec documentation a shop, contract manufacturer, or patent attorney can actually run with.
Assembly, fabrication, and sourcing assistance — plus the install, safety, and operating manuals to support your product in the field.
Tell us a little about your project and we'll get back to you within a couple of business days with next steps and a ballpark scope.
