Design & Consulting
We offer design conceptualizing for styling and construction techniques. The look of your product is vital to its marketability, however form must follow function. Our extensive knowledge of most manufacturing processes and materials allow us to infuse the visual concepts we develop with reality and push the envelope whenever possible.

Engineering & Development
We use state-of-the-art computer aided design and engineering to develop your product from concept into a fully functional, manufacturable product. During the process we breadboard and test to prove and improve the design. Included in the development are all mechanical, electrical, and electronic components that make your product work. We integrate ergonomics, economy, and manufacturability with the form and function to develop a robust design that will give your product strength and quality and make it stand above the competition.

Prototyping
We specialize in building dynamic prototypes so you can get a real-life perspective of how your product will look, feel and function. These prototypes are fabricated in everything from metal to plastic, depending on the needs of the project, and will look, feel and function as much like the finished product as possible.

We offer rapid prototyping services in the form of Stereo-lithography (SLA), of which we offer a variety of materials and finishes to suit your project needs and budget. Use these models to check fit, appearance and basic function of your product.

We are at the forefront of developing what we call Large Scale Rapid Prototyping (LSRP); a process that fabricates complex large-scale, one-off projects like automotive, marine and sport concept vehicles, quicker than standard processes.

Plastic prototypes are produced using resin casting and vacuum forming parts from sheet plastics. Metal prototypes are cast, machined or fabricated from steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Composite panels and structures are fabricated using hand-laid or infusion molded glass, carbon or Kevlar, with a variety of resins to best suit the project. Composite panels can be produced as single wall or double wall with hollow or foam cores, with many densities of foam available.

CNC Machining and Pattern Making
We offer CNC prototype machining of plastics, foam, and metals from your CAD files, or we can design the part for you from your drawing, sketch or idea. Patterns can be machined for investment or sand-casting processes.

Resin Casting
Plastic prototypes are produced using hand poured, machine cast or vacuum cast thermoset resins:
· Rigid plastic resins; D40-95 (black, colored, tinted or clear)
· Elastomeric plastic resins; A15-85 (black, colored, tinted or clear)
· RTV Silicone rubber is cast to produce prototype parts as well as molds

Manufacturing
We collaborate  with several on-shore and off-shore manufacturing companies to offer you hassle-free tooling and production of your product, so you can concentrate your energy on other areas of your business.

You choose what country your product is tooled, made and assembled in. We broker and manage the manufacturing so you don’t have to. We can even set up packaging, warehousing and shipping for you. One call is all you need to make when you have a question. One payment is all you have to make to cover all expenses at very competitive prices.
