FAQs
Are you a machine/job shop?
Sorry, no. While we have in-house equipment for manufacturing parts, we specialize in the development and testing process where we manufacture parts in-house to help with this process. While we can machine parts (especially prototypes or low quantity runs) if you are looking to only have parts machined, a specialized quick-turn machine shop will most likely be able to provide a better lead time and cost.
What physical size projects are you able to work on?
We’ve worked on devices small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, all the way up to test fixtures 20’ long by 14’ wide that weigh a few thousand pounds.
Are there any industries you specialize in?
We like to work across multiple industries both for variety as well as to share approaches and knowledge. Often times, we find unique approaches in one industry that have not been used or tried in another. Some industries we’ve work with before range across medical devices, academic projects, Department of Defense, consumer products, and the toy industry to name a few.
What’s the difference between a proof-of-concept and a prototype?
A proof-of-concept comes earlier in the development process and is used as a rough mockup to determine whether a concept is feasible or will have certain capabilities. A prototype is further down the development process and offers full functionality across its features.
