RPM Custom Design custom automotive part design in Orange County

Portfolio

Representative project types

Examples of the work RPM Custom Design takes on, described by starting point, approach, and what gets delivered.

Discontinued part reproduction

Discontinued interior bracket

Starting point
A cracked plastic bracket no longer sold by the dealer, with one mounting ear missing.
Approach
The surviving geometry is scanned, the missing ear reconstructed from the mating panel, and the failure area thickened.
Delivered
STEP + STL model, dimensioned drawing, printed fit-check part.

3D printing (reinforced nylon)

Custom part design

Custom intake adapter

Starting point
An off-the-shelf intake that does not line up with a swapped throttle body.
Approach
Both mating faces are measured, an adapter is modeled around bolt pattern and clearance, then checked against the engine bay envelope.
Delivered
Machining-ready STEP, drawing with tolerances, CNC quote coordination.

CNC machined aluminum

Reverse engineering

Restoration trim clip set

Starting point
A handful of brittle original clips, no drawings, nothing available new.
Approach
One good clip is scanned, the retention geometry is rebuilt parametrically so spring force can be tuned across revisions.
Delivered
Editable CAD family, printable files, small-batch production files.

3D printing, small-batch

Custom part design

Accessory mounting plate

Starting point
A shop needs a repeatable mount for an aftermarket accessory across several chassis.
Approach
A common plate is modeled with chassis-specific hole patterns driven as configurations, verified against factory mounting points.
Delivered
Flat patterns, DXF profiles, fabrication drawing package.

Laser cut and formed steel
