Engineering Design Support
Manufacturing-first engineering support for clear, production-ready deliverables.
Engineering design support that reduces friction from design to manufacturing.
GEN-1 is a specialized engineering support partner for machine shops, marine repair facilities, manufacturers, and aerospace startups.
We help you:
- clean up models and drawings
- prepare production-ready prints
- support quoting and manufacturability
- keep projects moving when your team is overloaded
When projects involve sensitive or regulated data, work remains inside your environment via customer-provided access or VDI. GEN-1 adapts to the collaboration method that best fits your team and program needs.
How GEN-1 works
You provide access to your environment
We connect using the access method that fits your program—secure VDI/enclave when required, or the collaboration method that best fits your team and program needs. No controlled data ever resides on GEN-1 hardware.
We work in your CAD / data stack
Your customer-standard CAD and data management tools—used in the environment you provide.
You stay in control of your data
No CUI or ITAR technical data is stored, downloaded, or transmitted to GEN-1. Your systems remain the single source of record.
Who GEN-1 helps
- CNC and fabrication shops supporting aerospace and defense
- Marine machine shops and repair yards
- Manufacturers with limited in-house engineering
- Aerospace startups that need on-call design support without hiring full-time
Whether you’re supporting complex aerospace hardware or keeping long-time customers supplied with quality parts, GEN-1 fits into the systems you already have and keeps your data where it belongs— inside your own environment.
What GEN-1 is — and is not
GEN-1 Design is not a staffing firm and not a broker of engineering labor. We provide embedded engineering services focused on manufacturability, clarity, and execution.
Clients engage GEN-1 for outcomes — clean drawings, stable definitions, and reduced production friction — not to supplement staffing or increase internal headcount. The role is to integrate into your workflow and deliver engineering output that moves work to the shop floor with confidence.
