Spec Ops has a special emphasis on complex design and modeling services for our federal and commercial customers. Our design group represents all the best in “State of the Art” Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing” (CADCAM). We utilize three-dimensional solid modeling to develop new design concepts for our customers (including design build, build-to-print, etc) as well as our internal R&D programs.

Modifications and changes are accomplished in virtual space and enable faster, cost effective and highly optimized product development. The solid model concepts are built from a series of components assembled as they would be in reality. This ensures that the computer model is a virtual copy of the finished product, even modeling the physical relationship of the parts. Our group produces digital files of each component and each file is sent directly to CADCAM systems for production thus ensuring the finished parts will work in their intended relationship.
