The Barrel Designer
Start designing

A design platform for pro shops & teams

Feel into numbers — down to drawings a lathe or mill cuts as-is. Built by designers from the CAD/CAM world.

Who PRO is for

For dart designers, brands, workshops/shops — and factories that want to bring design in-house and produce their own. For everyone who designs darts, gets them made, and brings them to market.

Design, then instantly production-ready

Turn the dart in your head into a design, and out comes a manufacturing package (drawings and machining data) you can hand straight to a factory — no back-and-forth translating or remaking.

80% less time to drawings & specs

Cut the hours you used to spend in meetings and drawing revisions. The shortest path from idea to production.

Share designs with PLAYERs

Receive designs from players and fans (PLAYERs) and take them straight to production — a real pipeline for new brand releases.

PRO · For small manufacturers / dart brands

One plan, three designer seats.

The PRO account is the administrator. Place designers beneath it and gather every player-designed barrel into one shared workspace. Exchange data both ways with players and the factory, and send finished data straight to production — the drawing work disappears.

PRO TEAM · For large manufacturers

Run it as a team. 10 seats, scheduling, design history.

For the scale where many designers and production move together. Everything in PRO, plus up to 10 seats, Gantt-chart scheduling, and design evolution you can trace by morphing.

10 designer seats

Up to 10 people beneath the administrator — one plan for a large design team.

Gantt chart

Every stage from order to dispatch on one screen; see who does what and when.

Design morphing

Compare how a barrel changes from version to version, and trace its lineage as a family tree.

Built by SATUMOTO — CAD/CAM developmentsatumoto.my

30 years in 3D. Designed by a team behind system development for numerous manufacturing machines.

01
Parametric design engine

Profile from anchors and fillets, grooves from tool sections. Changes propagate instantly to weight, CoG, length and max diameter; dimensions derive consistently from coordinates.

02
Dimension = machining result

Dimensions mark the machined edge, and the tool's overrun is accounted for automatically. Place grooves side by side and their positions never break.

03
Tooling & setup derivation

Blade width (largest ≤ bottom), nose R, hand and plunge count into a setup sheet; holder stance from real approach angles. Brand stays the factory's.

04
DFM checks

Wall at thread valley φ4.7, regulation diameter (polygons judged at the corner), tool relief (⌀6 mill overrun) — caught while designing, red before you order.

05
Multiple designers & approvals

Separate seats; approval / manufacturing requests / send-backs / comments as a workflow. My-grooves copy independently into each design as templates.

06
Factory orders & trace codes

Each drawing carries an immutable shape snapshot and trace serial (BD-XXXX). Fully restore the ordered shape later; prevent mismatches.

Why it's order-ready as-is

Paper is the shop-floor UI. Quality is: the reader never has to guess. So dimensions follow JIS — even the unspecified. Text never overlaps on any page, and dimensions are re-checked against the geometry after drawing; only those that pass go on the sheet.

3D that matches the cut

Not a fake surface effect — a real solid, actually cut on the lathe and 3-axis mill. The silhouette and the cross-section are the finished part itself.

No dependence on a C-axis

So partners without a C-axis can still cut it: helix twist dropped for a mid-rotated slanted slot. The shop's constraint, taken on by the design side.

Verify after drawing

After drawing the dimensions, we re-check that each number truly points at its element; only passing sheets keep an invisible verified mark.

Design & output spec

  • JIS dimensions, toolpath coordinate lists, section/end views, datum marks (lathe ZX / 3-axis XYZ)
  • Ring / shark / spiral / axial (ball, V90) / dots / polygon sections / swept bottoms
  • Real-cut 3D for lathe threading & 3-axis milling; wall/CoG check in section
  • Vector PDF drawings, order numbers, trace serials

Cheaper than one botched order

Back-and-forth inquiries, re-work from misreads, order mismatches. If drawings are order-ready from the start, one avoided case pays for it.

We'll advise on rollout, seats and factory integration.
