Bortnick Consulting

Bortnick Consulting is an engineering design and manufacturing consultancy based in Kansas City, Missouri, helping product companies and manufacturers move from concept to production-ready parts. Founded and led by a senior mechanical design engineer, the firm combines hands-on CAD expertise with real production-floor experience in plastics, molding, and machining — so designs arrive at the shop floor already manufacturable.

Services include:

• Product design and development — concept development, mechanical design, and CAD modeling in Onshape and SolidWorks
• Reverse engineering — 3D scan and mesh processing to accurate, parametric CAD models, with specialty depth in aircraft and legacy components
• Rapid prototyping — in-house 3D printing and CNC-based iteration to validate fit, form, and function before tooling commitments
• Design for manufacturability — part and tooling design optimized for injection molding, thermoforming, extrusion, and CNC machining
• Manufacturing sourcing and tooling quotes — supplier identification, quote comparison, and cost modeling to protect margin before capital is spent
• Precision quality inspection — dimensional verification and first-article support

Clients range from established manufacturers to early-stage product ventures across the plastics, industrial, and aviation sectors. Every engagement is grounded in the same principle: a drawing is only as good as the part it produces.
