Hands-on engineering for innovation today.
We launch new products through 3D printing and prototyping.
With over a decade of experience developing products for the US military and civilian applications, we have the expertise and real-world knowledge to bring ideas to life.
Our collaborative process is prototype-driven. We focus on creating Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) to expedite the create-test-learn cycle and get products to market.
Services
3D Printing
With multiple in-house 3D printers, we can prepare samples quickly. Design, testing, and approval can be executed in days. Along with additive manufacturing, we have subtractive manufacturing capabilities, 3D scanning, and various molding capabilities.
Prototyping
Prototyping allows you to test the functionality and feel of your product before scaling up to production. We have state-of-the-art Finite Element Analysis (FEA) capabilities, which can run stress/strain analysis, fluid dynamic analysis, as well as geometry optimization (both topology and topography) for lightweight, efficient designs.
Process
We work closely with startups and entrepreneurs to help bring physical product ideas to life via an iterative design process.
01. Sketch
Each process begins with a conversation. We work to understand our client’s goals and vision. We then produce fine-tuned drawings that realize the idea, customizing every detail to spec. Finished sketches and models are ready for direct prototyping.
02. Build
We test the functionality of products through MVP prototyping. Once the MVP is built, we put it through it’s paces and learn from the result. We can make changes and improveconnect clients with leading production manufacturers using premium quality parts and suppliers so that the finished product is the best it can be.
03. Evolve
Every successful product must adapt to the changing needs and demands of customers and the marketplace. We support clients long after launch to help evolve products and ensure long-term success.
