Engineering, Hardware Design, and Prototyping Services
Our strengths are in mechanical engineering with a foundation in first-principles problem solving. We use our skillsets to assist hardware startups to rapidly prototype mechanisms, structures, machines and test rigs. Each of our engineers is proven with over a dozen years of experience developing complex systems, precision machine designs, and building lots of hardware. We have lived in the trenches; we can help you move forward.
We have a 5,000 sqft shop in beautiful Vernon, California, just south of downtown Los Angeles. The shop is outfitted with a full suite of machine tools to support our clients' needs to develop systems quickly and without any of the inefficiencies or delays of dealing with outside vendors. Our team provides full-stack capabilities to complete your project entirely in-house from initial ideation and systems engineering, through detailed design, modeling and analysis, and finally fabrication and integration (CNC mill, lathe, general fab, GMAW/GTAW welding, metrology).
