Facility and Technologies Expansion Boost Capacity, Capabilities



Company officials Jeff Felker, UDM Plant Manager; Keith Chene, CFO; Douglas Peterson, Founder & CEO; Alan Peterson, President; Shane Denton, Vice President; and Chad Peterson, General Manager, break ground for the Urgent Design & Manufacturing plant expansion.

Employees of Urgent Design & Manufacturing share in the ground breaking ceremony along with company officials.

The 3-Dimensional Services Group, a provider of prototypes and low-volume production manufacturing, has announced an expansion to one of its affiliated companies, Urgent Design & Manufacturing (UDM), located at 3142 John Conley, Lapeer, MI 48446. UDM began operations in 2000 as an extension and broadening of 3-Dimensional Services. It offers hydroforming and associated CNC tube bending, 3-axis and 5-axis fiber laser cutting, CNC machining, robotic and manual welding, hydroforming and waterjet cutting, and features a large stamping and forming department along with numerous CAD and engineering workstations.

The company will add 65,000 sq. ft. to the current 100,000 sq. ft. Lapeer facility, which will allow for greater flexibility of its fabricating and machining footprint. The expansion and related equipment will result in an eventual investment approaching $10 million. It is also expected to boost employment at the facility by 30+ employees. The addition will not only increase the output capacity of the facility, but combined with the anticipated investment in new equipment, grow the range of services offered.

A unique feature of the facility will be an area labeled by the company as the "Design Studio." This space will further enhance its capabilities as a full service, quick response advanced product development source, from design assist and validation through manufacturing support.

According to Douglas Peterson, Founder and CEO of The 3-Dimensional Services Group, "This expansion is pivotal to boost our company's capabilities to fabricate a broad spectrum of components and assemblies and to provide our customers with access to the best and latest technologies."

Alan Peterson, President, added, "Our customers' product designs and engineering processes are changing at a rapid pace to keep up with market demands and global competition. This expansion and subsequent investment in manufacturing technologies is necessary to meet these needs both now and in the future."
