Mechanical Engineering
Turn your ideas into 3D models, and then into real, working products, devices and machines.
Mechanical Design & Engineering
We generate a 3D CAD model of your product, device or machine, then make fabrication drawings.
Physics-Based Simulations
We believe the best time to fail is on the computer during simulation, not during production.
Design for Manufacturability
We determine the best materials and fabrication processes to ensure your product is optimally designed for low or high-volume manufacturing.
Capabilities
From concept to creation - whether you're starting from an existing 3D CAD model or a napkin sketch, we can create, optimize and validate your design.
