Ideas Into RealityBy utilizing programs like Solidworks, Edrawings, and Draftsight, we can quickly and accurately generate 3D models/drawings/pdfs of our part to ensure a reliable design that will function and be optimized for manufacturing!

Engineering Services
Ø 2D Drawings : Graphical Representations of data, with all the necessary information to produce your part both now, and whenever you need another. CAD drawings in AutoCad format with your title block.
|
Ø 3D Models : 3 dimensional representations of your part, that has baked-in dimensions, relations, materials, and appearances. .
|
Ø DWGs : These 2D images are a great format for laser cutting or water jetting.
|
Ø Simulations : Set up virtual conditions to test the product designs before manufacture, to find any virtual solutions before they become real-world problems. Reports available upon request.
|
Ø Renderings : With the power of Solidworks Visualization, we are able to make photo realistic renderings of our 3D modeled parts, which are great for proposals, presentations, and marketing purposes.
|
Ø Proposals : Where we suggest ideas on how to bridge the gap between your specific idea or concern with a practical solution.
|
Ø Prototypes : Whether you're wanting to test a single part, or a full build of a machine to test before it goes to mass production, let us help!
|
Ø FARO Arm : Great for both On-The-Go measurements and a solid CMM that will accurately measure your part. Whether if we're reverse engineering, or just doing a sanity check, the FARO arm will give a reliable measurement every time.
|
Ø STL : These file formats are the work horses behind 3D printing, so if you have a model, we can make an STL, or if you have an STL, we can see what we can do! These file types do not include textures, colors, or material properties, and which make them great for 3D printing.

|
Ø EDrawings : If you do not have solidworks or other 3D modeling softwares, but still wish to view your model, simply get this model Viewer to fully control your design. Just click here or on the image!

World of 3D Printing
Shown above is the product of ideas and iterations of a new bottle cap design. Once modeled, the bottle cap was theoretically perfect. However, there is no substitute for real life, tangible, tests. The model was then 3D printed to ensure 1.) The cap would thread onto the physical bottle. 2.) An o-ring would firmly sit into the gland. 3.) Proper alignment between o-ring and bottle top for a leak-proof seal. 4.) All aspects of the design could be machined, and verified within our facilities.
Note: with the flexibility of 3D printing we can see how the design was modified to isolate components for ease of verification. The threads were printed first to ensure the threads were of an acceptable design. The gland of the bottle was printed separate for ease of assembly and disassembly of an o-ring, and dimensional verification. Finally the entire bottle cap was printed to ensure everything came together. With this, we were able to verify the design against real world parts in a quick, and cost effective manner. |
ASME Y14.5 Standards
We at SEM are familiar with both coffee stained hand sketches and thoroughly engineered drawings with tight tolerances, GD&T, and assemblies within assemblies within assemblies. Our current drawings adhere to the latest version of ASME Y14.5 standards of dimensioning and tolerancing

Standard Title Block Tolerances
Below can be found our general title block tolerances. Our drawings are typically measured in the INCH units of measurement. Every part is special and different in its own way, and may either include larger or smaller tolerances than shown, but know that great care was take into ensuring the design intent was met and that the parts will function as planned, even if it means a tolerance of +/- 1/2" or +/-.0002"!
