Design - From Start To Finish
Fundamental
Tory's Hill focuses on core design concepts from start to finish. We ask 'why' at every turn and we relate deliverables to our customer's focused needs throughout every effort. Fundamental design principles underly all successful development programs, large or small. A solution's elegance - and often its economy - is embodied by the simplicity of its form and execution.
Digital and Classical
We rely first on classical design and analytical methods applied with modern computing tools. 3D detailed designs can be shared in real time with the Solidworks(r) 3D Experience platform. Advanced AI tools are brought to bear on classical textbooks, resulting in custom coded solutions and models from which design optimization is transformed.
For Manufacture
We are in it to build it. Our design work starts and ends with manufacturing at the forefront. Tory Hill employs in-house CNC, 3D printing, fabrication, and calibrated inspection equipment supplemented with a close network of local specialty contractors. From precision machining and complex assemblies to inspection and FAA conformity, we ensure your design is ready for effective manufacture.
