Design & Engineering

Turning Ideas Into Engineered Solutions

At Panther Manufacturing, our in-house design and engineering team is at the core of every project we build. From concept to completion, we combine technical expertise with advanced software to deliver precision-built equipment that meets our clients’ exact specifications.

Our Process

We start by understanding the specific challenges and goals of each client. Through close collaboration, we transform operational requirements into efficient, scalable designs. Using 3D modeling tools like SolidWorks, our engineers develop accurate digital models that drive laser cutting, metal forming, and complete fabrication planning.

Prototyping & Validation

Before moving into full production, each design undergoes a detailed review process. Clients receive engineering drawings and 3D models for approval, ensuring every component aligns with operational needs, safety standards, and workflow integration.

Innovative Engineering

From carts and lift tables to conveyor systems and complex structural assemblies, our engineers develop smart, durable solutions that are built for performance and designed to work seamlessly within your operations.

Software Capabilities

We leverage advanced 3D modeling and drafting tools to bring concepts to life with precision and efficiency.

  • SolidWorks – 3D CAD modeling, simulations, and complete assemblies

  • AutoCAD – 2D drawings and detailed fabrication layouts

  • DXF/DWG File Support – Optimized for laser cutting and CNC routing integration

These tools streamline the revision process, enhance accuracy, and speed up client approvals—ensuring every project is delivered with confidence and clarity.

Engineering for Manufacturability

We don’t just design—we engineer for real-world production.

Every concept is evaluated for:

  • Material efficiency and cost-effectiveness

  • Ease of fabrication and assembly

  • Long-term durability under real-world conditions

  • Ergonomics, load handling, and floor space optimization

Our goal is to deliver scalable, safe, and seamlessly integrated equipment that works reliably in your facility from day one.

Quality & Compliance

We adhere to rigorous quality and safety standards throughout every stage of production.

  • All designs comply with or exceed OSHA and relevant industry guidelines

  • Welding, load-bearing, and material specifications are carefully engineered and fully documented

  • Where applicable, projects undergo stress analysis and real-world testing to ensure optimal performance and reliability
