Services
CAD Modelling & Prototyping
Develop 3D part and assembly models based on your requirements, available in the formats listed below.
Revision & Redesign
Modify and improve an existing design to better suit the application.
Digital Replication
Recreate and digitize the geometry of an existing physical part into a CAD format.
Machine & Fabrication Drawings
Prepare detailed component and assembly drawings for machining and fabrication.
Design Optimization
Designs can be optimized for cost, fabrication, product lifetime, modularity, compatibility with standard parts, 3D printing, appearance, or other project priorities.
Deliverables & file formats
Depending on project scope: 3D part and assembly models, detailed drawings, and files in STEP, SLDPRT, SLDASM, STL, DXF, DWG, and PDF formats. Physical components and assemblies may also be supplied upon agreement.
Professional review, where required
Projects requiring regulated engineering work or authenticated engineering drawings must be handled by appropriately licensed and authorized professionals. Independent professional review may be coordinated where feasible, subject to prior agreement and additional fees; availability is not guaranteed.

THE ANCHOR POINT MARKABOUT
Technical Experience & Personal Attention
Anchor Point Design is an independent mechanical CAD and drafting business based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, founded by Joe Toews.
Joe is a mechanical engineering graduate of the University of Manitoba, with an academic focus on manufacturing and thermofluids. He has several years of professional experience in industrial system design and equipment layout, along with hands-on experience developing detailed 3D CAD models, designing custom components and complete mechanical assemblies, and preparing designs for fabrication.
He also has a particular interest in automation equipment and mechanical system design, from individual components to integrated assemblies.
Projects are approached individually, with attention to the client’s specific priorities — whether that means lower cost, simpler construction, compatibility, accessibility, or a particular manufacturing method.
