Industrial Design Case Studies
Our engineers are creative problem solvers with deep expertise in complex, electro-mechanical hardware. They work with an eye toward production while remaining sensitive to the aesthetic design to help visionary inventors redefine standards for their category.
Mechanical Engineering Case Studies
Lots of things look good on paper. But in the high-stakes world of product development, you don’t know until you know. Prototyping is an integral part of our process, to prove the feasibility of our solutions at key commit points along the way. We make it, we break it, we tinker and occasionally employ strategic use of expletives— until it’s right.
PROTOTYPING Case Studies
Through our rich network of collaboration partners, we are able to bring in any specialized skill needed on a project, following a just-in-time operating model for increased quality and efficiency. This enables us to staff top expertise in a specialized field when necessary without passing on the added expense that comes with carrying bulky overhead.
