Advanced 3D Mechanical, Structural and Surfacing Design
As complex as an entire car, as simple as a single bracket, JRD designs, models, and assembles components to solve any problem. Every mechanism draws on our manufacturing knowledge, and is precisely created and checked virtually before a single prototype is made. When the real pieces come together, we already know they are going to fit.
 

3D Scanning and CMM 
When CAD and drawings are not available for existing components, JRD offers state-of-the-art 3D scanning and CMM (Coordinate-Measuring Machine) for fast, accurate reverse engineering and validation.
 

Suspension Geometry Analysis and Optimization
Proper geometry is crucial when designing any suspension system. The engineers at JRD have extensive experience designing suspensions for luxury road cars to SUVs, where comfort and predictability are key, to championship-winning race and rally cars where uncompromised performance is everything. We use sophisticated simulation software in addition to interactive and animated CAD models to ensure that desired results are achieved throughout the suspension travel.
 

Harness Design and Manufacturing
JRD offers engineering, design, and manufacturing of custom harness and control systems for race cars and high-end custom vehicles. We work with all the leading manufacturers of Power Distribution Modules, Engine Control, and Data Logging Systems. At the completion of a project, we provide schematics and full documentation for reference and future expansion.
 

Advanced Sheet Metal Design, Manufacturing, and Traditional Hands-On Coach Work
JRD offers a unique combination of cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned and rare coachwork. Derived from the CAD, JRD can source accurate laser (or water jet) cut and formed sheet metal parts to be welded or assembled in the workshop. We offer MIG and TIG welding of all metals, and we can design and provide necessary jigs and fixtures for low and high-volume production. For projects such as restorations, concept, and prototype vehicles we are proud to offer hand-made metal body panel fabrication using tools like English Wheel, Planishing Hammer, and Metal Shrinker/Stretcher.
 

Machining 
JRD manufactures parts using CNC turning and milling in any material. The 3D CAD is transferred directly from the design computer into the multi-axis machining program, creating every detail.
 

Surface Treatment
We offer surface treatments for metal parts such as anodizing, plating, and powder coating.
 

Composite Manufacturing
JRD can produce patterns, tooling, and production components from various types of composite materials and manufacturing methods. The patterns are typically cut from a tooling block by a large 5-axis CNC router or in some cases 3D printed. The molds vary based on manufacturing method and material. We work in fiberglass using Polyester, Vinylester, and Epoxy resins, and Carbon Fiber in wet-layup and pre-preg.
 

3D Printing
We offer 3D printing in various materials such as ABS, High Temp Nylon, Aluminum, Stainless Steel, etc. The 3D CAD is directly transferred from the design computer into the printer, creating every detail.
