ABOUT OLD DOG

EXPERIENCE YOU
CAN'T DOWNLOAD.

Old Dog MFG combines decades of hands-on manufacturing knowledge with modern technology to make getting parts made simpler, faster, and far less frustrating.

The tools are new. The judgment behind them isn't.

WHY OLD DOG EXISTS

MANUFACTURING GOT FASTER.
IT DIDN'T ALWAYS GET EASIER.

Modern software has made it easier to upload a file, request a quote, and move data around. But manufacturing still depends on knowing what actually works on the shop floor.

A file can look right and still be difficult or expensive to produce.
A material can technically meet a specification and still be a poor choice.
A tolerance can be achievable and still add cost for no useful reason.
A manufacturing process can look obvious until someone who has made thousands of parts sees the problem.

Old Dog was built to close that gap.

THE OLD DOG

DECADES AT THE MACHINE CHANGE HOW YOU SEE A PART.

At the center of Old Dog MFG is a master machinist with decades of real-world manufacturing experience. That experience creates a different kind of review.

He is not just looking at whether a CAD file opens or whether a process can technically produce a shape. He is looking for the things experience teaches you to notice:

— TOOL ACCESS
— WORKHOLDING
— MATERIAL BEHAVIOR
— WALL THICKNESS
— FEATURE GEOMETRY
— TOLERANCE STACK-UP
— FINISHING IMPLICATIONS
— UNNECESSARY COMPLEXITY
— INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
— PRODUCTION RISK
THE GOAL IS SIMPLE
Catch the problem before it becomes an expensive problem.

THE NEW TRICKS

THE EXPERIENCE STAYS.
THE PROCESS GETS BETTER.

Old Dog pairs that manufacturing knowledge with a technology-focused team that wanted to remove the unnecessary friction from getting something made. The result is a more modern way to work with manufacturing expertise.

— Start with only an idea
— Upload an existing file for review
— Move directly to RFQ when specifications are complete
— Receive guidance on materials and processes
— Submit production files online
— Keep project information organized
— Communicate through one clear point of contact

The technology is there to make access to manufacturing expertise easier—not to replace the expertise itself.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

LESS GUESSING.
FEWER SURPRISES.

THE RIGHT QUESTIONS EARLY
We identify missing information and potential problems before they reach production.
PRACTICAL DFM GUIDANCE
If a design, material, tolerance, or finish creates unnecessary difficulty or cost, we'll tell you.
ONE CLEAR PATH FORWARD
You should not have to become a manufacturing expert just to get something made.
REAL PEOPLE BEHIND THE PROCESS
Technology helps move the project. Experienced people make the judgment calls.
BASED IN TEXAS

BUILT IN AUSTIN.
CONNECTED TO MANUFACTURING.

Old Dog MFG is based in Austin, Texas. From here, we manage customer projects, engineering review, sourcing, supplier coordination, and the path from file to finished part.

Depending on project requirements, manufacturing may be sourced through Old Dog's vetted manufacturing network or through certified U.S.-based manufacturing when requested.
