Design‑Build
At Jones Machine and Welding, design‑build engineering isn’t just one of our services — it’s the foundation of how we approach every project. From the first concept sketch to the final installed structure, our design-build team delivers clarity, precision, and practical solutions that work in the real world.
Reverse Engineering
When critical components fail or OEM support disappears, our team steps in with advanced reverse‑engineering capabilities to keep your operation moving. Using technologies such as 3D laser scanning, precision measurement, and CAD modeling, we recreate custom parts with exact accuracy—often improving durability and performance in the process.
Material Flow Optimization Software
Using the latest design software, we create accurate 3D models, perform stress analysis, and evaluate material conveyance to ensure every design is efficient, reliable, and built to perform.
Our engineers analyze and optimize material flow through transfer chutes, allowing you to visualize bulk material streams, identify wear points, and improve performance before fabrication ever begins.
- 3D design modeling
- Structural and stress analysis
- Material conveyance analysis
- Transfer chute design and optimization
- Bulk material flow visualization
- Wear inspection on chutes and conveyor surfaces
- 3D Laser Scanning
