FL upholds the highest engineering standards in the industry. Everything from AutoCAD drawings, SolidWorks models, and router paths are individually designed to maximize efficiency and ensure the highest quality and consistency in manufactured parts and fixtures.
Geometric dimensioning and tolerance (GD & T) is used to keep all drawings consistent. All layers, standard notes and prebuilt callouts are included to follow ANSI standards. Tolerances are followed to the thousandth for metal components and to the 32nd of an inch for wood components.
For each fixture or display manufactured, FL will create detailed drawings including:

• § 　Isometric View(s)
• § 　Front View
• § 　Top View
• § 　Side View(s)
• § 　Exploded View(s)
• §　Complete Bill of Materials
• §　Individual Prints for each Part

Each designer starts work with a checklist that must be filled out for each fixture before being approved to ensure consistency and thoroughness.
FL also performs testing on its design prototypes when necessary to ensure that the product meets our clients‘ quality requirements. Both simulated and practical testing (either internally or by a third party) can be utilized per request of the customer and results of each test will be documented and supplied to the customer.

Need displays that consider both your brand and the environment? We can design from scratch or work with your existing designs to create a more environmentally responsible fixture. Everything from the material usage to the source of the material is taken into consideration. FL has BV certification in Chain of Custody and utilizes a large variety of industry standard or greater materials, such as imported materials, to meet your environmental standards.
