CAD & Product Design
SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and practical design development for parts, assemblies, fixtures, machines, and manufacturing equipment.
About LaserX Design
Designed by someone who knows how things are actually built.
LaserX Design combines CAD, manufacturing, fabrication, automation, machine wiring, and hands-on problem solving to take ideas from an early concept to a working part, fixture, machine, or complete system.
The background
Design experience rooted in the shop floor.
LaserX Design is built around the experience of Chris Hilton, a product engineer, welder, fabricator, machine builder, and manufacturing problem solver with years of hands-on experience turning designs into real equipment and repeatable processes.
That experience includes SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, CNC programming, TIG and MIG welding, cobot programming, sensors, controls, networking, fixture development, production routings, troubleshooting, and the practical details that determine whether a design succeeds once it reaches the floor.
The focus is not design for appearance alone. Every project is approached with fabrication, assembly, wiring, access, serviceability, repeatability, and real-world use in mind.
Featured build
A complete CNC plasma table, designed and built from the ground up.
One of the clearest examples of the LaserX Design approach is a custom CNC plasma cutting table developed as a complete working machine rather than a collection of purchased parts.
The project included the machine frame, gantry, water table, automatic drain and fill system, electrical layout, machine wiring, controls, component integration, CAD work, fabrication, finishing, assembly, testing, and continued software development.
It demonstrates the full scope of the company: mechanical design, CAD, fabrication, CNC cutting, machine systems, controls, wiring, troubleshooting, and the ability to carry a difficult project through to a functioning result.

Capabilities
From a single part to a complete automated machine.
The company’s scope is intentionally broad because successful manufacturing projects rarely fit neatly into one trade.
CNC Plasma Cutting
CAD-driven cutting for custom parts, brackets, signs, prototypes, fixtures, replacement components, and fabricated assemblies.
Machine Design & Building
Mechanical layout, frame and component design, fabrication, assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and refinement of complete machines.
Automation & Controls
Machine wiring, sensors, control hardware, cobot integration, Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and practical shop-floor automation.
Manufacturing Systems
Fixtures, poka-yoke concepts, repeatability improvements, routings, workholding, process development, and production-minded design.
Welding & Fabrication
Hands-on TIG and MIG welding experience supporting prototypes, precision assemblies, custom equipment, and production work.
