to this automated sample management storage system. Our client had an upcoming trade show and needed a full size appearance model for a future product release. We were able to turn around the exterior styling and build the corresponding full scale model within a month. This was accomplished with CNC milling, turning, 3D printing and laser cutting. In addition to fabrication, we also assembled, wired, tested and packaged the system.

to this automated fabric/garment cutting device. We provided a new, sleeker industrial design with highly stylized panels. In addition, we redesigned the stitching/cutting tools held in the cutting head module to be more cost effective and lightweight. Upon completion of the detailed design of the cutting head module we had taken out roughly 50% of the cost using DFM&A tools and analysis.

to this modular and automated camera focusing device that functions for ten different cameras. This compact handheld device required precision gearing as well as motion control to complete the project. We developed the first 25 fully functional systems in-house for our client to utilize immediately.

to this rackmount server tower. Our customer wanted to develop a new 96 Node rackmount server tower. The dense population of 1U nodes required unique packaging and in-depth structural analysis. This was a high volume product so we leveraged our DFM&A software tools to help optimize cost.

to this cryogenic tubing medical device. Our client required specialized tubing for their medical product that included 4-axis milling and machining to accomplish the extreme precision.

to this stretch forming apparatus. Our client had us develop a custom stretch forming device that fabricated high-tolerance curved turbine seals. This new device not only re-shaped the initial geometry per the required specifications, but also improved manufacturing efficiency.

to this helicopter joystick. Our customer required a redesign of an existing product to reduce part count, simplify exterior geometry and improve functionality. This project required a redesign of the external enclosures for injection molding and a new internal layout of all components to simplify mounting, integrate waterproof seal and improve ergonomics where possible.

to this pressure and temperature gauge. Our client asked for a temperature and pressure sensing device that would be utilized to monitor highly volatile environments. We provided turnkey product development service from industrial design through first volume build of twenty systems.

to this thermal imager used by firefighters. We developed the housing of the thermal camera as well as the docking unit which mounts inside each fire truck. We developed cost effective designs using DFM&A and high volume molding processes. 3M Scott Fire & Safety

to this custom handheld painting device. Our customer was an entrepreneur who had an idea for a multi-functional paint-rolling device. The project included early conceptual design sketches, detailed renderings, and a functional prototype that was tested for user functionality and appropriate ergonomic design.

to this automated “clean room” welding device. This project required extensive mechanical engineering and design experience to allow for the implementation of system automation and micro-precision control of welded stainless steel filters. In addition, the design had to meet the requirement for a class 4 clean room which limited our material choices. We then assembled and tested the system inside the clean room to complete to project.

to this automated laminating system. We developed this product over twenty years ago from the ground up including initial concepts, graphics overlay, industrial design and styling as well as a full detail design and fabrication. We were able to increase the speed of the lamination cycle by 10x by developing a new lamination roll thermal technology. We also assisted our client with production implementation.
