3D & 2D CAD, Design Consulting & Prototyping Services
BASED IN MANITOBA · SERVING CANADA-WIDE
CAD design, drafting, reverse engineering, and prototyping for businesses and individuals across Canada.
Services
CAD Modelling & Prototyping
Develop 3D part and assembly models based on your requirements, available in the formats listed below.
Revision & Redesign
Modify and improve an existing design to better suit the application.
Digital Replication
Recreate and digitize the geometry of an existing physical part into a CAD format.
Machine & Fabrication Drawings
Prepare detailed component and assembly drawings for machining and fabrication.
Design Optimization
Designs can be optimized for cost, fabrication, product lifetime, modularity, compatibility with standard parts, 3D printing, appearance, or other project priorities.
Deliverables & file formats
Depending on project scope: 3D part and assembly models, detailed drawings, and files in STEP, SLDPRT, SLDASM, STL, DXF, DWG, and PDF formats. Physical components and assemblies may also be supplied upon agreement.
Professional review, where required
Projects requiring regulated engineering work or authenticated engineering drawings must be handled by appropriately licensed and authorized professionals. Independent professional review may be coordinated where feasible, subject to prior agreement and additional fees; availability is not guaranteed.

THE ANCHOR POINT MARKABOUT
Technical Experience & Personal Attention
Anchor Point Design is an independent CAD design and drafting business based in the Winnipeg area, founded by Joseph Toews. Remote services are available across Canada, with on-site consultation in Winnipeg and surrounding areas when appropriate.
Joseph is a mechanical engineering graduate of the University of Manitoba, with an academic focus on manufacturing and thermofluids. He has several years of professional experience in industrial system design and equipment layout, with a focus on detailed 3D CAD models, custom components, mechanical assemblies, and fabrication-ready documentation.
His experience and project exposure also extend to mechanical automation, industrial piping systems, architectural layouts, and woodworking design, including furniture and décor. This range of applications informs a practical, adaptable approach to CAD work without limiting projects to a single industry.
Each project is approached individually, with attention to the client’s priorities — whether that means lower cost, simpler construction, compatibility, accessibility, appearance, or a particular manufacturing method.
