How much does a custom 6-axis robotic arm design cost?
Pricing depends on complexity and requirements. Our standard packages range from $28,500 for basic CAD design to $89,000 for turnkey solutions including prototype and integration support. Most clients see ROI within 5–6 months through labor savings and error reduction.
What is the typical timeline for a custom robotic arm design project?
Standard projects take 14 weeks from initial consultation to final CAD delivery. This includes requirements analysis (1 week), concept development (2 weeks), detailed robotic arm CAD design (6 weeks), FEA validation (3 weeks), and final documentation (2 weeks). Expedited timelines available for urgent projects.
Who owns the intellectual property after project completion?
Upon final payment and project sign-off, 100% of intellectual property rights transfer to you. We sign comprehensive IP assignment agreements compliant with USPTO, EUIPO, and WIPO standards. All design files, patents filed, and documentation become your exclusive property with no residual licensing fees.
What's included in the final delivery package?
You receive: 1) Native CAD files (CATIA V6, SolidWorks, STEP, IGES), 2) Detailed engineering drawings with GD&T, 3) FEA simulation reports, 4) Bill of Materials with sourcing guide, 5) Assembly instructions, 6) Validation test protocols. Optional: Physical prototype, control software integration package, or manufacturing partner introduction.
