Grand Designs is a precision CAD, 3D printing, and prototyping studio led by a degreed mechanical designer with nine-plus years on the engineering floor. We turn sketches, broken parts, and rough ideas into manufacturable reality — for businesses and hobbyists alike.
A solo studio built on real factory-floor experience. No account managers, no markup layers — direct access to the designer doing your work.
Designed to be built
Every model comes from someone who has run a CNC lathe, set up fixtures, and reverse-engineered parts on the floor. Your files are manufacturable by default — not just pretty on screen.
One studio, end to end
Sketch → CAD → printed prototype → technical illustration → render. You don't need five vendors and a project manager. One point of contact owns it from first call to final delivery.
Fast without cutting corners
24-hour quotes, rapid iteration, and engineering-grade filaments like carbon-fiber and nylon. Speed that doesn't compromise the part you actually receive.
Capabilities
Full-stack design & fabrication
Nine core services covering the entire path from idea to physical part and the documentation around it.
Parametric 3D models and dimensioned drawings in Solid Edge. STEP, IGES, STL, DXF output.
FDM 3D Printing
PLA, PETG, ABS, Nylon, plus carbon-fiber and glass-filled composites for functional parts.
Reverse Engineering
Worn or discontinued parts recreated from samples, photos, or measurements.
Technical Illustrations
Exploded views and blueprint-quality drawings for manuals, patents, and marketing.

About the studio
Built by a hands-on designer, not a CAD jockey
Grand Designs is led by Myles Archambeau — a degreed CAD/mechanical designer who spent nine-plus years inside engineering roles at companies like General Motors and DYNA Products before launching the studio in 2026.
Associate's in CAD & Design — formal mechanical design training
GM & DYNA Products alum — automotive and heavy-equipment design
Solid Edge & Teamcenter — professional parametric CAD & PLM
