Services
Every project starts somewhere — a process that’s falling short, a product that needs refinement, or an idea ready to take shape. TruSpec Engineering & Machine helps clients at every stage translate technical challenges into clear, practical solutions.
For established manufacturers, we identify inefficiencies, improve reliability, and strengthen production systems. For product developers and innovators, we bring manufacturability, documentation, and design precision to your concepts — helping you build things that work in the real world.
From detailed design and documentation to root cause analysis, process improvement, and prototype development, TruSpec delivers precision work, practical solutions, and real results — tailored to your operation, your product, and your goals.
MODELING, DRAFTING, AND REVERSE ENGINEERING
Technical Drawing and Documentation Support
TruSpec offers mechanical drafting and documentation services to bring order and consistency to your design library. Whether updating legacy drawings, converting sketches to CAD, or documenting custom equipment, we provide clear, standardized drawings that align with modern engineering practices. Our documentation ensures that your equipment can be serviced, replicated, or audited without ambiguity.
Value Proposition:
We combine attention to detail with a strong sense of practical use. Drawings are not just neat—they’re useful, readable, and accurate. Whether you’re integrating new automation or standardizing legacy equipment, TruSpec ensures your documentation supports both engineering accuracy and real-world maintenance.

3D Scan to CAD Conversion
TruSpec converts real-world parts and assemblies into precise digital CAD models, supporting design improvement, replication, and documentation. Using measurement tools and scanning technology, we recreate geometry for components that lack technical drawings or are no longer supported by OEMs. This service helps clients modernize, repair, or reengineer critical components with full dimensional fidelity.
Value Proposition:
Legacy equipment shouldn’t be a limitation. TruSpec provides the means to rebuild or evolve systems long after documentation is lost — combining metrology, CAD accuracy, and practical design sense to create parts that fit, function, and last. 3D scanning of complex and undocumented surfaces can also aid greatly in designing tooling and fixturing to aid in the manufacturing process.
Deliverables:
3D solid models
2D drawings
Measurement overlays
Comparison reports for fit and interference validation.
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Process, Product, and Equipment Design
TruSpec Engineering provides full-cycle mechanical and manufacturing design support — from concept and feasibility through detailed documentation ready for fabrication. Using SolidWorks and real-world production insight, we design components, assemblies, tooling, and fixtures that perform reliably under industrial conditions. Each project is approached with a balance of precision engineering and practical manufacturability, ensuring your designs not only function as intended but can also be built efficiently and maintained safely over the long term.
Value Proposition:
We bridge the gap between engineering intent and shop-floor reality. With years of experience designing and supporting production equipment, we understand what works on paper must also work in the field. Our designs emphasize durability, serviceability, and cost control — helping clients bring ideas to life without expensive rework or compromise.
Deliverables:
3D CAD models
detailed drawings
design calculations
bills of materials (BOMs)
fabrication-ready documentation.
Process Improvement and Failure Analysis
TruSpec applies structured engineering methods to identify and eliminate performance losses in manufacturing systems. We combine data analysis, process observation, and first-principles reasoning to uncover the root causes behind downtime, scrap, or inefficiency. Whether the issue lies in process flow, operator interface, or machine capability, our approach is built to find the truth — not just symptoms — and translate it into implementable change.
Value Proposition:
With practical experience in Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and maintenance improvement, TruSpec delivers more than a report. We provide a roadmap. Our work helps teams move from reactive firefighting toward proactive improvement — achieving measurable ROI through better throughput, reduced variability, and fewer recurring failures.
Deliverables:
Root cause and failure analysis reports
Value stream maps
Time studies
Corrective action plans
Implementation recommendations
Professional Engineering Review & Stamping
When safety, compliance, or accountability matter, TruSpec provides professional verification under the oversight of a licensed Professional Engineer (PE). We review, analyze, and stamp mechanical and process designs in accordance with Oregon’s engineering standards and industry best practices. Our PE review adds credibility and due diligence to your documentation, ensuring compliance with client, regulatory, or insurance requirements.
Value Proposition:
As both a practicing engineer and a manager of manufacturing operations, we understand the technical and practical aspects of design verification. TruSpec combines regulatory compliance with hands-on understanding, providing approvals that are not just compliant but confidence-inspiring.
Deliverables:
PE-stamped drawings and calculations
Compliance verification reports
Sealed documentation packages suitable for submittals or legal record.
PROTOTYPING & FABRICATION SUPPORT
Machining and Fixture Fabrication
For prototypes, test fixtures, and one-off tooling, TruSpec provides fabrication and machining support — either in-house or through trusted local partners. We design and build components that meet demanding precision and durability requirements, supporting R&D efforts, small production runs, and maintenance teams.
Value Proposition:
Our blend of engineering experience and hands-on machining skill ensures that prototypes aren’t just “concept proofs” — they’re engineered solutions you can rely on. TruSpec designs for manufacturability from the start, saving time and reducing cost on future iterations.
Deliverables:
Prototype components
Assembled fixtures
Fabrication drawings
Functional test results
Vendor Sourcing and Manufacturing Liason
TruSpec acts as an engineering liaison between clients and external vendors, ensuring design intent is preserved from concept through production. We help specify work scopes, review bids, and verify vendor deliverables to maintain quality, performance, and alignment with project requirements.
Value Proposition:
Having led complex manufacturing and automation projects, TruSpec knows how communication gaps between design and fabrication lead to costly mistakes. We fill that gap — keeping all stakeholders aligned technically and contractually.
Deliverables: Vendor matrix
First Article qualifications planning
