From CAD to Production: Approval Gates That Reduce Rework
How to turn design feedback into a versioned, production-ready approval trail.
Custom development becomes easier to control when every stage has a named output and a clear approval owner. Informal chat references should support the record, not replace it.
Freeze the brief before geometry
Confirm the market, style, material route, stone assumptions, target cost, quantity and deadline. Open questions should be visible before CAD work begins.
Approve a named CAD version
Review top, side and wearing views together with key measurements, stone map and construction notes. Record the exact version that is approved for prototype or sample.
Use the physical sample as a commercial checkpoint
Check fit, appearance, finish, stone security, branding and packaging direction. Changes after sample approval can affect tooling, material, time and price.
