Who We Work With

Built for Teams
That Can't Afford a Bad Design.

Good design is the whole job. We build models that are clean, complete, and fully detailed, so the shop can quote it, build it, and put it together without calling you with questions. Every project gets the same standard of design work, whether it is a first prototype or a production run.

High-Stakes Applications

Military & Law Enforcement

Tough hardware that has to work when it matters. We understand the standards, the timelines, and the stakes.

  • Tough cases and sealed housings
  • Computing and mounting systems
  • Weapon accessories and optics
  • Dust proof and watertight assemblies
  • Parts that hold up under hard use

What We Do

Design. Fabricate. Build.
All Under One Roof.

Most shops do one or the other. We handle the whole thing, from first sketch through delivery, so your project never stalls waiting on another vendor.

3D Models | Testing | Prototypes

Product Design

We model your product in 3D, check that it will hold up in real use, and design it so it can actually be made. You get clean drawings and files a shop can build from.

Electronics Design

We design the electronics that make your product work, from circuit boards to the wiring that ties everything together, and we make sure it all fits inside the enclosure.

Product Design Services

We design products that hold up in hard conditions. Our process pairs careful 3D design with real manufacturing experience, so your product works the first time.

01

Concept & Planning

We start where you are, even if all you have is a rough idea. We work out what is realistic, flag problems early, and settle the details before any design work begins.

Saves time and money by catching problems early
02

3D Design & Testing

We build a complete 3D model of your product and test it for strength, heat, vibration, and drops before anything is made. Problems show up on screen, not in production.

Strength, heat, and drop testing before you cut metal
03

Made to Be Built

A design that costs too much to make is no good to anyone. We choose shapes, fits, and materials with the shop in mind, so the part stays affordable and consistent.

Lower production cost without giving up performance
Featured Project

Tactical Fanless Computing System

We designed a tough, fanless computer for military and law enforcement work in extreme conditions. With no fans and no moving parts, there is nothing to wear out, and the sealed case keeps dust and water out. It keeps running from -40°C to +85°C and stands up to shock, vibration, and altitude.

Why American Manufacturing
Matters for Your Project

Offshore is cheaper on paper. But when the mission is critical, when the deadline is real, and when your reputation is on the line, domestic manufacturing is the only choice that makes sense.

Our Commitment to American Manufacturing

"Every component we design is quality-checked to the highest standards. We believe in domestic supply chains not just as a marketing point, but as a fundamental commitment to reliability, transparency, and supporting American workers and businesses."

100% USA Designed & Sourced
Austin, Texas | Documented and Traceable

Every Part Documented

Every part comes with the paperwork: where the material came from, who made it, and the inspection records to back it up. Important for regulated industries and anything that cannot fail.

No Overseas Delays

No customs, no tariffs, no 12-week lead times. Domestic supply chains mean responsive communication, faster turnarounds, and supply chains you can count on.

American Quality Standards

We design to recognized industry standards and check the work at each stage, so problems get caught and fixed instead of shipped.

IP Protection

Your designs never leave American hands. Full intellectual property protection and confidential handling for every project, regardless of industry.

From Concept to Finished Hardware

From first conversation to final delivery, a clear three-step process with no surprises and no gaps between design and manufacturing.

1

Free Consultation

Tell us what you're building and why. We'll go through what the product needs to do, your timeline, and your budget, then give you an honest answer on what's possible. No sales pitch, just straight talk.

2

Design, Test & Refine

Our team builds the full 3D model, tests how it holds up in real use, and makes it easier and cheaper to produce. You review it, we refine it until it's exactly right.

3

Build, Check & Deliver

We run the build through trusted shops, check the parts when they come back, and deliver finished parts with the paperwork you need. Prototype through production run.
