Prototyping and Modelmaking

Over the years we have assembled one of the most well-equipped value-added modelmaking and prototyping shops in Southern California. Having these capabilities in-house allows us to effectively support our other technical departments, and frequently trim weeks from a project development schedule.

Prototyping and Modelmaking

Based on your needs we can use many methods to model and prototype the first articles of your project. The best choice could depend on cost, accuracy, speed, appearance, ruggedness, or any combination of the above. 

We are not a manufacturer, but we frequently produce limited runs of products (especially hand-held devices) we have developed. The image above shows some of the ways we can make your ideas materialize.

We can prototype everything we design. 

Visit our facility and you will see fully-equipped machine, sheet metal, wood, urethane casting/molding shops, electronics assembly and testing areas, a process development lab, injection molding machines, FDM rapid modelmaking, and a professional paint spray booth to add the finishing touch to prototypes and models.  
 

  our model making and prototyping services include:


Mike Ammerman, our model shop manager can build just about anything. Click here to read about (and see) his extensive skills.

 For aluminum and steel molds and injection-molded parts we can recommend LeVic Plastics. They have been a preferred vendor of ours for 20+ years.
