Mechanical Engineering

J. Kittredge & Sons employs an in-house mechanical engineering staff. This group not only has a diversified manufacturing background, but is also well versed in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. In a competitive economy it is imperative that products be designed for ease of manufacturing. Our engineering group not only assists management in seeking the most efficient methods to produce parts, but also participates in joint engineering efforts with customers, aiding them in creating cost effective designs. This group is also capable of breaking down customer envelope drawings and specifications into functional manufacturing drawings.

J. Kittredge & Sons design engineering department uses Pro/ENGINEER and AutoCAD software to model in solids, and to create all drawings required to manufacture assemblies. Solid modeling allows the engineers to analyze and verify the design before a prototype is ever produced. This shortens the design cycle and produces a higher quality assembly. CAD database transfers, both import and export, are processed using STEP/DXF/IGES translators. These universal formats have the capability to translate most database platforms with extreme accuracy.
