Software, Files, Vault & Automation

Clear Technical Outputs You Can Actually Use

JSBS Co. builds project files, templates, folder systems, tracking tools, and workflow automation around practical downstream use—design review, prototyping, supplier quotation, manufacturing handoff, Autodesk Vault or shared-folder organization, file automation, and future revisions.

Software Workflow

Core design work is built around Autodesk tools, primarily Autodesk Inventor for 3D product design and AutoCAD for 2D drafting, layout, and DWG/DXF-based needs.

  • Autodesk Inventor 3D parts and assemblies
  • AutoCAD drawing and layout support
  • Autodesk-supported export formats as project needs require

CAD & File Outputs

Deliverables can be structured for internal review, prototype vendors, production suppliers, or long-term customer ownership depending on the scope.

  • Native design files when included in the project agreement
  • STEP, SAT, IGES, STL, DWG, DXF, and PDF outputs
  • Organized revision packages and supplier-ready file sets

Documentation Packages

The goal is not just a model. The goal is a usable technical package that supports decisions, quotes, prototype builds, assembly, and future product changes.

  • 2D drawings, BOMs, assembly notes, and specifications
  • DFM notes, prototype feedback, and design-revision records
  • RFQ-ready documentation for manufacturing and specialty partners

Automation Systems

For repeatable engineering and file-management tasks, JSBS Co. can create practical automation tools that standardize setup, reduce manual entry, improve file control, and speed up package preparation.

  • Inventor templates, iLogic forms, and parametric design rules
  • Python scripts for folders, filenames, exports, reports, and file cleanup
  • Vault/general folder trackers, release checks, and documented workflow tools

Ownership note: Customer-owned project design files can be included when the scope calls for it. JSBS Co. should retain reusable templates, internal systems, generalized workflows, and non-project-specific know-how unless a transfer is explicitly agreed to in writing.

Vault, File Structure & Workflow Control

Organized Engineering Files, Trackers, and Release Systems

Disorganized CAD files, duplicate folders, inconsistent naming, and unclear revision status can slow down design work just as much as a difficult model. JSBS Co. can help create a practical Autodesk Vault or general folder-system structure that fits into the way your team already works.

The system can be built around custom project folders, naming rules, file trackers, revision logs, release checklists, supplier package folders, and automation tools that reduce manual setup while creating checks and balances for missing files, outdated drawings, export packages, and handoff readiness.

  • Custom folder structures for active jobs, released files, supplier packages, and archives
  • Autodesk Vault-aware organization, naming, lifecycle, and handoff planning
  • File trackers for drawings, models, revisions, exports, and required deliverables
  • Automation tools for project setup, folder creation, file naming, exports, and cleanup
  • Checks and balances for missing drawings, outdated revisions, and incomplete packages
  • Workflow documentation so the system can be maintained after setup
Built around your current environment: This can be a full Autodesk Vault-oriented structure, a shared-drive folder system, or a hybrid tracker that connects CAD, drawings, exports, supplier files, and internal review steps without forcing a disruptive rebuild.

File System Setup Framework

Structure + Automation
01

Map the Current System

Review existing folders, Vault practices, naming patterns, file ownership, deliverables, approval steps, and where mistakes or delays usually happen.

02

Build the Structure

Define project folders, file naming, revision flow, template locations, export locations, archive rules, and supplier/package handoff structure.

03

Add Tracking & Checks

Create trackers, release checklists, drawing/model status views, revision logs, and package-readiness checks to make file status visible.

04

Automate Repeatable Steps

Add scripts or template-driven tools for folder setup, naming, export generation, report creation, cleanup, and repeatable handoff tasks.

For CAD Teams Cleaner project setup, fewer misplaced files, and clearer model/drawing status.
For Managers Better visibility into open items, missing deliverables, and project handoff readiness.
For Suppliers More consistent RFQ and production packages with fewer version-control problems.

Product Design, Prototyping & Partner Coordination

One Connected Path Toward Production

A successful design must do more than look correct in CAD. It must account for materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, tolerances, assembly, supplier capabilities, cost, and the way the product will actually be used.

JSBS Co. leads the mechanical design and product-development work, completes select prototyping in-house, and coordinates trusted external specialists when the project requires fabrication, production manufacturing, tooling, testing, certification, or other capabilities outside the core mechanical scope.

The client can keep one connected technical path from concept through prototype and production support. JSBS Co. is not the production manufacturer, but we can help identify the right partner, prepare the technical package, coordinate communication, review feedback, and keep documentation and supplier feedback aligned through launch.

Explore the industries and project types we best serve.

Scope note: JSBS Co. remains the product-design and coordination lead. Physical production work is completed by the appropriate qualified partner whenever it falls outside our internal scope. JSBS Co. does not provide sealed drawings, code-required design, regulated approvals, or services that legally require a licensed professional. When a project requires those items, we can coordinate with and work alongside the appropriate licensed or certified professionals or qualified specialty partners, while those portions remain under their responsibility.
01

Develop the Product

Concepts, models, assemblies, materials, interfaces, and manufacturing assumptions are developed and refined.

02

Prototype & Evaluate

Select prototypes are completed in-house, while specialized methods and production-intent builds are coordinated externally.

03

Match the Right Partner

Trusted prototype, manufacturing, and specialty resources are identified based on process, capability, quality, and project fit.

04

Coordinate Through Launch

Quotations, supplier questions, samples, feedback, revisions, and production-readiness decisions remain technically connected.

Practical Product-Design Partnership

Why Work With JSBS Co.

The goal is not simply to produce CAD files. It is to provide thoughtful technical design support that moves the project forward, reduces avoidable risk, and creates a connected path from an idea or problem to a evaluated, manufacturing-oriented result—with the right outside resources brought in when needed.
