HOW PROGRAMS RUN AT ADAPT
One package. Concept to production release.
On your CAD systems. Inside your PLM. Talking to your suppliers.
Design
Scope, constraints, and program plan before the first sketch.
Validate
Concept, simulation, drawings cross-checked.
Build
Prototype, iterate, qualify against the program gate.
Scale
PPAP, AS9102, supplier handoff. Production release.
Customers served
Since 1998

The work moves to Nissan, LEAR, Magna, Oshkosh Defense, Continental, 3M, and 200+ others.
FOUNDED 1998 ON A NISSAN ENGINEERING CONTRACT
Tier 1 rigor. Without the rigidity.
ADAPT was started by Brian and Annette Smith in May 1998 with a contract to train 500 Nissan engineers in CAE workflows. That is how the firm was built. By people who had already shipped programs at the OEMs and the Tier 1s, brought in to teach the next bench how to do it.
The discipline carried in from the floor of those programs. The documentation, the validation gates, the PPAP and AS9102 mindset, the way a supplier package gets prepared so a part can be built and inspected without a phone call. We kept all of that.
We dropped the parts that slow real work down. A small team of senior engineers, on your CAD systems, inside your PLM, owning the package from concept through production release.

WHAT GETS SHIPPED
Three things we get right that small engineering shops usually do not.
Programs ship when documentation, discipline, and ownership move with the design. We do the work the same way the OEM does, on the customer documentation system, with senior engineers on the package end to end.
SCHEDULE RISK
Programs do not stall.
No three-week approval chains for a sketch. No hand-offs across six functions before a print goes to a shop. Senior engineers own the package, concept through production release.
DOCUMENTATION RISK
Prints work the first time.
Drawings your supplier can actually build from. PPAP, AS9102, FAIs prepared on your documentation system. Tolerance stacks, GD&T, and supplier callouts get a second pair of eyes before release.
CONTROL RISK
Drawings stay in the network.
CMMC Level 2 compliant environment. ITAR-controlled programs supported by cleared engineers on US infrastructure. Source files, simulation runs, and release packages stay on systems built for export-controlled work.
EIGHT INDUSTRIES
Where our work ships.
Buyer-side detail for the program lead, not a sales script. Click an industry for capability detail, customer examples, and program type.
TALK TO AN ENGINEER
Tell us what you are building.
Send the program brief. An engineer on our team will read it and respond within one business day. Not a sales coordinator. Not a routing form.
