Leverage Our Expertise
Select materials and perform analysis to ensure components withstand stresses.
Test Your Design
See, hold, feel, and test your products before committing to
high-volume manufacturing.
Move Forward With Confidence
Design for manufacturing, assembly or optimize for next iterations.
How We Help
We design a 3D CAD model of your idea, select appropriate materials, and fabricate, deliver, and test your prototype.
Design a 3D CAD Model
We work with you to create a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Model of your product using SolidWorks 3D CAD software.
Select Appropriate Materials
We choose the best materials for your prototype, based on factors such as cost, strength, and durability.
Create Detailed Technical Drawings
We create detailed technical drawings that can be used by the manufacturer to produce the prototype.
Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
We test the strength and durability of the design, ensuring that it can withstand the stresses and strains it will be subjected to in use.
Fabrication and Assembly
After designing and simulation testing, we quote and order parts from fabrication shops and assemble the prototype.
Performance Testing
After assembly we physically test your prototype, testing how well the product performs under different conditions and real world stresses.
Design for Manufacturability
We optimize the design for ease of manufacturing on whichever machine it will be made on, making it more cost-effective, efficient and repeatable to produce.

Prototyping Methods
Whether you are looking for a
proof of concept prototype or a
pre-production prototype, we design parts and help you pick the best materials and manufacturing processes to
ensure your prototype and eventual product will be successful.
3D Printing
Additive Manufacturing. Build preproduction prototypes and custom parts with 3D Printing.
CNC Machining
Create complex and precise parts with the least number of machining setups.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Cut, form, roll and bend flat sheets of metal to your design.
Injection Molding
Prototype Injection molds allow moderate production volumes at a low price.
Welding
Join metals to create structural weldment parts and assemblies.
Laser Cutting
Cut and shape thin metal precisely and quickly.
Water Jet Cutting
Cut and shape a wide range of materials with no heat-affected zone.
Off the Shelf Assembly
Identify and order existing parts from hardware and industrial material suppliers to incorporate into your design.
Effective Prototyping
vs Rapid Prototyping
Our method of Effective Prototyping involves performing upfront analysis and testing on a digital prototype before anything gets built.
We identify potential issues early on and make necessary adjustments before moving forward with production,
saving you time and money.
"The best time to fail is on the computer during simulation."
