Services
Design Engineering
Our engineering team provides comprehensive design services from conceptualization to production-ready specifications. Utilizing 3D CAD modeling and performance analysis, we create optimized solutions for complex industrial applications. With expertise in system integration and materials engineering, we ensure designs meet functional requirements while maintaining manufacturability.
Prototype Development
We develop functional prototypes using rapid prototyping technologies and traditional manufacturing methods. Our prototyping services include ABS plastic modeling, wax casting, and full-scale production validation. Clients receive test-ready prototypes that replicate final product performance characteristics for real-world evaluation.
CNC Fabrication
Our CNC capabilities include large-format machining up to 20' x 11' with 5-axis precision. We offer milling, routing, laser cutting, and hot wire foam machining for industrial components and master molds. This technology enables single-piece production of complex geometries without assembly requirements.
Composite Manufacturing
Specializing in aerospace-grade composites, we produce carbon fiber and fiberglass components using vacuum bagging, pre-preg, and resin infusion techniques. Our composite team handles everything from tooling to final finishing, meeting strict performance standards for structural and aesthetic applications.
Metal Fabrication
Our metal fabrication services include sheet metal forming, tube bending, and precision welding using ASME-certified welders. We work with ferrous and non-ferrous metals to create structural components, custom frames, and complex assemblies for industrial and specialty vehicle applications.
