You don't have to manage a design firm, a prototype shop, a toolmaker and a molder. We handle every stage, so nothing gets lost between them.
We take a rough idea or napkin sketch and turn it into a detailed design that can be manufactured, then check it with simulation before any metal is cut.
You can hold, test and iterate on parts quickly. We often 3D print same-day so your design reviews keep moving.
We machine plastics, aluminum, steel and engineered materials on 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC, from one-off prototypes to production parts.
We design and build injection molds and tooling in-house, which keeps cost and lead time under control.
We mold repeatable, high-quality parts in engineered resins and commodity plastics, and scale with you from pilot runs to full production.
We decorate, join, assemble and package your parts, and automate production with robotics, custom machines and fixtures.
Our engineers design the electronics, firmware and software alongside the enclosure, so boards, batteries and antennas fit the product the first time.
Custom circuit boards and wiring designed into the mechanical layout, for industrial equipment and consumer products alike.
Motors, drivers, sensors and closed-loop control for mechanisms, automation and robotics.
Connected products using LoRa, Wi-Fi, BLE 5.0 and other wireless protocols, from sensor nodes to app-controlled devices.
Camera-based inspection and detection, plus AI-powered software that makes your product or production line smarter.
Battery selection, charging and protection, with power budgeting so your device runs as long as it needs to.
Power distribution, controls and safety-minded electrical design, from shop-floor machines to products on the shelf.
From medical devices to aerospace hardware, we bring the same in-house design, machining and molding team to every project.
We design, prototype, tool and mold device housings, handheld instruments and precision components.

Our own machines, molds and engineers work in one building, so we control the quality and the schedule.
We cut plastics, aluminum, steel and engineered materials on 3-, 4- and 5-axis machines, for everything from injection molds to one-off prototypes.
We build our own tooling and automate processes that are difficult or labor-intensive.
We visit your facility to help improve processes, optimize designs and plan production and automation.
You'll know where your project stands, what comes next and what it costs.
We review your idea, goals, budget and timeline in a free consultation, either remotely or on-site.
We create CAD models, run FEA and design for manufacturing so problems are caught early, when fixes cost little.
We 3D print and machine prototypes so you can test fit, function and feel, then refine the design.
We build the tooling, mold the parts and handle secondary operations, ready for launch.
Our team launches its own products, so we understand what you face when you bring something to market.

They designed and fabricated our parts faster than we expected, and the quality was right where it needed to be.
Incredibly responsive. Sean had our parts printed the same day. That kind of speed keeps a project moving.
