Integrated mechanical design.
Made in Canada
From sketch to mold, from mold to finished part—all under one roof. Custom enclosures, jigs, and tooling, designed in collaboration with your engineering team for our Quebec City facility.

— THE SERVICE IN A NUTSHELL
What is it,
exactly?
At Fillio, mechanical design means designing with the final product in mind. Enclosures, jigs, tooling, mold geometries—every drawing is validated against our actual processes in our actual workshop.
Offered when the design leads to in-house production (overmolding, assembly, 3D printing). You avoid back-and-forth between the design office and the supplier—the person who designs the part is also the one who makes it.
“Geometry verified on paper is worth 50% of geometry verified with an instrument.”
— THREE PERSPECTIVES, ONE STREAM
From custom-made parts
to mass production.
Our design process has a single goal: to ensure that every piece that leaves our workshop meets our standards the first time around, with no unexpected charges for you.
Custom Mechanical Engineering
Waterproof enclosures, assembly jigs, production tools. Designed using parametric CAD and validated to meet your cost, volume, and environmental requirements.
CAD · STEP · DWG
Design for Manufacturing
DFM, DFA, material selection, mold geometries designed for our press, our resins, and our production rate. Every dimension has a cost, and we know it.
DFM · DFA · LPM Mold
EE / Firmware Integration
When a project involves electronics, we work with a trusted partner under an NDA. You have a single point of contact at Fillio; we handle the rest.

— THE METHOD
5 steps to go from sketch to production.
01
DISCUSSION
You describe the part, its dimensions, and the environment to us. We assess the suitability of overmolding and address the critical requirements.
02
FEASIBILITY
Quick CAD analysis—geometry, material, mold feasibility. Initial estimate within 5 business days.
03
DFM · DFA
Collaborative design with your team. We fine-tune draft angles, fillets, and parting lines—every detail is verified against our actual injection molding machine.
04
PROTOTYPE
The first parts printed or overmolded in-house. You’ll leave with a documented sample. We make adjustments and iterate.
05
TRANSFER
Design is shifting to in-house production. No new suppliers to qualify—the same team is producing the part.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Questions We're Asked Most Often
No, it complements one. We design around our actual processes (overmolding, assembly, 3D printing), which eliminates the usual back-and-forth between an external design office and a supplier — the person who draws the part is also the one who makes it.
CAD files (STEP, DWG), geometry validated through DFM/DFA against our injection molding equipments and resins, then a documented physical prototype before transferring to production.
We work with a trusted partner under NDA. You keep a single point of contact at Fillio, who coordinates the rest of the project.
It's offered when the design leads to in-house production (overmolding, assembly, or 3D printing at Fillio) — that's exactly what lets you skip qualifying a new supplier at the production-transfer stage.
