// PROTOTYPES TO PRODUCTION //

We design and build plastic parts in Phoenix, from the first CAD model to batches of hundreds. Every design is checked for how it will be made, and there’s no mold to pay for, so you can test, revise and test again.

// FROM THE SHOP: ENERGY STARTUP //

Testing a new energy system shouldn’t start with a $100,000 mold

01 / The problem

Their system was still in testing. The mold quote came back around $100,000, and it would have locked the design in.

02 / What we’re doing

Printing their production parts on our large-format SLA printer. Each part comes out in one piece.

03 / Why it works

No tooling to buy, and when testing changes the design, the next run uses the new version.

Who we are

Fast turnaround. Clear communication.

Your parts are made here in Phoenix, not in an overseas queue, and you work directly with the engineer designing and building them. You hear from us at every step, from the build plan to delivery, so you never have to chase a status. Our background is CNC machining and manufacturing, so we design every part for the way it will be made.
