Design Services
Mid Kansas Machine supports projects from an existing part or early concept through design, prototyping, and manufacturing. Our capabilities include reverse engineering, equipment and tooling design, plastic extrusion tooling repair, custom manufacturing equipment design, and prototyping.
We use SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and FeatureCAM to develop designs and prepare programs for our CNC machining equipment.
