How Did Wellstronics3D Help?

CookingSteels develops and manufactures high-end cook ware made from dense 3/8" steel that delivers restaurant-quality sear and oven spring for almost any food! Wellstronics3D works directly with the team at CookingSteels to develop and produce all of the CAD files (.IGS, .X_T, .STP) and technical drawings (.PDF, .DXF) needed to manufacture these amazing and versatile cooking products.

When working on this cookware, we have one on one meetings with the CookingSteels team to gather all of the requirements of the design. These meetings focus on overall shape and geometry, timelines, part numbering and revision control. Once all of these facts have been created, we then take the information and run with the design. For many of the CookingSteels products, we created manufacturing ready CAD files that can go directly from design to production without the need for prototyping, saving CookingSteels thousands of dollars and months of time!

FAQs

How are you able to design products in less than 12 hours?

We have a team of designers that have many years of experience with SolidWorks and manufacturing. The entire team at Wellstronics3D has ran laser cutters and we understand the file formats that are required to cut profiles out of steel.

Is there a difference between laser jet, water jet and plasma cutting?

From a product design standpoint, the primary geometric differences are subtle, but the impact on production cost and vendor availability is significant. At Wellstronics3D, we engineer our CAD files to meet specific tolerances, ensuring that the design intent is clear for any manufacturer. By providing clear technical requirements with our CAD files, we allow you to shop your project across different vendors—whether they use laser, water, or plasma—giving you the leverage to choose the process that best fits your budget and lead-time requirements.

How are you able to make manufacturing ready designs?

We use professional SolidWorks CAD software to create high-precision files that are compatible with any CNC equipment or CAM software. Our designs are engineered to be "shop-floor ready," working seamlessly with Mills, Lathes, EDM, Routers, Lasers, Waterjets, and Plasma cutters. By delivering native and neutral CAD data, we ensure your manufacturer can move directly into production without needing to rework the files, saving you both time and setup costs.

Are you able to design steel products with bends, cuts and welds?

Yes. We create fully defined Sheet Metal components optimized for laser, waterjet, or plasma cutting. Our designs include precise bend locations, angles, and hardware integration—such as PEM nut installation—to ensure a seamless assembly. This allows us to provide your fabricator with both the final 3D assembly and the Flat-Pattern DXF files required for accurate cutting and forming.
