Your Mechanical Design and CAD Optimization Partner

You don't just need CAD models. You need a design partner who understands how products behave in the real world. I’m David Gagnon, founder of Conception DJG Inc, a Senior Mechanical Designer with more than twenty-five years of hands-on experience turning ideas into manufacturable products. I specialize in mechanical design, 3D CAD modeling, DFM, and fixing the CAD issues that drain hours from busy teams.

Engineering managers call when their team is overloaded and buried in rework. SMEs reach out when deadlines are tight and they need expert support that keeps projects moving.

My approach is practical and outcome-focused. Clean models, manufacturable designs, and workflows that hold up under pressure. My goal is straightforward: fewer surprises, fewer revisions, and steady progress from concept to production. My job is to make your job easier and your project more successful.

What our clients say

Stéphane Fortin, Evlo (Hydro-Québec subsidiary)

“J’ai travaillé avec David comme gestionnaire du développement électrique et mécanique chez Evlo (filiale d’H-Q en stockage énergie électrique). Intégrant de nouvelles technologies et devant se conformer à de nouvelles normes de sécurité (UL9540), David devait concevoir et modéliser des armoires de batteries afin de maximiser leur refroidissement tout en minimisant les risques d’emballement thermique et d’incendie.”

“David a constamment pensé en dehors de la boîte pour résoudre des problématiques qui n’existaient pas encore. Je le recommande pour son sens aigu de la mécanique, sa créativité et sa compréhension profonde des outils qu’il maîtrise. Les projets sont livrés efficacement et selon les échéanciers.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Our mechanical design services cover 3D modeling, part and assembly design, material selection, tolerance analysis, and preparing models for manufacturing. The goal is simple: deliver designs that perform reliably, reduce rework, and move you from concept to prototype with fewer delays.

Our 3D CAD modeling services ensure your parts and assemblies are clean, accurate, and manufacturable. By removing unnecessary complexity and fixing stability issues in your CAD models, we reduce errors, speed up prototyping, and give your team a clearer workflow from early concepts to production.

As product development consultants, we turn early ideas into practical, manufacturable solutions. We evaluate requirements, build CAD models, assess risks, validate design decisions, and keep development aligned with performance, cost, and manufacturability goals.

A Design for Manufacturability consultant helps you avoid late-stage problems that slow production and inflate costs. We review geometry, materials, tolerances, and assembly methods early to reduce complexity, prevent rework, and keep timelines predictable.

CAD workflow optimization improves how your team creates, updates, and manages models. We clean feature trees, standardize templates, fix inconsistencies, and streamline the entire modeling process for faster, more consistent output across your engineering team.
