About JSBS Co.
Practical Product-Design Support From Concept to Handoff
JSBS Co. helps product-focused teams turn ideas, existing parts, and technical problems into clear CAD, usable documentation, prototype direction, and supplier-ready information.
Design-led support with practical manufacturing awareness, clear deliverables, and coordinated outside resources when the project requires them.

Founder-Led Technical Support
Practical Design Experience With Manufacturing Reality in Mind
JSBS Co. is founder-led by Josh Smith, with experience rooted in mechanical design, plastic injection molds, sheet-metal parts and enclosures, wiring-related assemblies, technical documentation, and supplier-facing manufacturing work.
The goal is simple: give companies a practical technical partner who can understand the product, create usable CAD and documentation, think through manufacturability, and coordinate the right outside resources when a project needs more than one discipline.
That founder-led structure keeps communication direct, scope clear, and the project focused on usable outputs instead of unnecessary complexity.
Company Overview
Built for the Gap Between an Idea and a Usable Technical Package
JSBS Co. exists to help people and companies move physical-product work forward without getting stuck between rough ideas, incomplete files, disconnected suppliers, and unclear next steps.
The work is practical by design: understand the problem, define the product, create or improve the CAD, prepare usable documentation, and help coordinate the next capable resource when the project moves beyond internal scope.
This makes JSBS Co. a fit for product companies, manufacturers, startups, inventors, and teams that need technical design support without adding a full internal department.
Design-Led
Mechanical design, CAD, documentation, and product definition remain the core of the work.
Production-Aware
Design decisions are made with materials, assembly, suppliers, tolerances, and manufacturability in mind.
Partner Enabled
Outside fabrication, production, testing, controls, or certification support can be coordinated when needed.
Clear Handoff
Outputs are organized around what the next person actually needs to quote, build, review, or revise the work.
Software, Files & Deliverables
Autodesk-Based CAD With Practical Project Outputs
Deliverables can be tailored to design review, prototype builds, production quotation, supplier handoff, or future customer-controlled revisions.
Software
Primary work is built around Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD.
- 3D part and assembly modeling
- 2D drawing and layout support
- Autodesk-supported file exports
CAD Outputs
Files can be packaged for prototyping, supplier review, or customer recordkeeping.
- Native files when included in scope
- STEP, SAT, IGES, STL, DWG, DXF, and PDF
- Revision packages and supplier-ready files
Documentation
Design work can be paired with useful technical records for review and handoff.
- 2D drawings, BOMs, and specifications
- Assembly notes and prototype feedback
- DFM notes and RFQ-ready documentation
File ownership note: Customer-owned original design files can be included when agreed in the project scope. JSBS Co. should retain reusable templates, internal systems, generalized workflows, and non-project-specific know-how unless a separate written transfer says otherwise.
Capabilities
Focused on Physical Products, Parts, Enclosures, and Technical Handoff
JSBS Co. is strongest when the work involves a real physical product or component that must be developed, improved, documented, prototyped, quoted, or prepared for production.
Mechanical Design & CAD
Parts, assemblies, mechanisms, brackets, sheet-metal enclosures, plastic components, and design revisions.
DFM & Production Readiness
Manufacturability review, supplier handoff, process assumptions, tolerance awareness, and design simplification.
Existing-Part Reconstruction
Customer-owned parts recreated, measured, documented, revised, or prepared for supplier quotation.
Prototype & Partner Coordination
Select in-house prototyping where practical, plus coordinated support from qualified outside resources when needed.
Clear Scope Boundaries
Practical Support Without Overstating the Role
JSBS Co. is positioned as a product-design, documentation, prototyping, and coordination resource. That keeps expectations clear and protects the client, the project, and the business.
What JSBS Co. Can Lead
Mechanical CAD, product development, documentation, prototype planning, supplier handoff, and coordinated project support.
Specialist Work Can Still Be Coordinated
Sealed engineering, code-required designs, regulated approvals, certified testing, and licensed electrical or professional engineering work require the appropriate qualified professional. JSBS Co. can help keep those needs coordinated within the project path so clients are not left managing disconnected handoffs alone.
Common Questions
A Few Practical Details Before Starting
The best starting point is usually a short conversation around what you have, what you need, and where the project needs to go next.
Do I need finalized drawings to start?
No. A sketch, sample part, photos, rough dimensions, CAD files, or a written problem description can be enough to begin defining the path forward.
Can JSBS Co. work with outside suppliers?
Yes. Supplier handoff, prototype coordination, fabrication support, testing resources, manufacturing support, and specialist coordination can be part of the project when needed.
Can customers own the design files?
Customer-owned project files can be included when agreed in scope. Reusable JSBS Co. templates, internal systems, and general know-how remain separate unless transferred in writing.
Will client work be shown publicly?
Only with client approval. Until approved project content is available, the website will focus on services, process, and capabilities without showing customer-specific project details.
Have a Product, Part, or Design Problem to Move Forward?
Start with what you have—an idea, sketch, old part, CAD file, prototype, or production issue. JSBS Co. can help define the technical path and the right next step.
