Everything your product needs, from the first sketch to the finished part

We design, prototype, program, and manufacture custom parts and products under one roof. Bring us an idea, a drawing, a file, or a broken part, and we'll take it as far as you need: one step of the job, or all of it.

Our services in detail

Use one service or all of them. When one shop does the design and the manufacturing, the design is made for the way it will be built, and nothing gets lost between companies.

Concept and product design

From a rough idea to a complete, manufacturable design with drawings.

What we do

  • Work out the requirements with you: what the part has to do, what it attaches to, the loads, heat, and weather it sees, how many you need, and your budget.
  • Sketch concepts and talk through the options before any detailed modeling, so you pick the direction.
  • Model it in 3D CAD, from single parts to assemblies of parts that fit and move together.
  • Design for manufacturing: we choose the process early and shape the part to suit it (draft, wall thickness, tool access, sheet layouts), which is often the biggest single cost saving.
  • Choose materials for strength, stiffness, wear, heat, chemicals, UV, food contact, and appearance.
  • Engineer the details: tolerances and fits, snap-fits, living hinges, bosses, ribs, threads, threaded inserts, fasteners, seals, and gaskets.
  • Enclosures and housings designed around electronics, batteries, displays, buttons, connectors, and cable entries.
  • Jigs, fixtures, and shop aids that hold, align, or speed up your own production.

What you get

  • 3D models and images to review and approve before anything is made.
  • STEP files for any CAD program, plus STL files for printing.
  • PDF drawings with dimensions, tolerances, and notes, ready for any shop.
  • DXF files for laser cutting and routing.
  • You own the designs we create for you.
  • Design work is quoted up front, so you know the cost before we start.

For example: a wall-mounted holder for a handheld scanner, from a phone photo and a few measurements to an approved design in a few days, then 3D printed in ASA for outdoor use.

Changes to existing designs

Your files, improved: revised, repaired, converted, or adapted to a different process.

What we do

  • Revise dimensions and features: resize, add or move holes, slots, mounting points, and text.
  • Fix fit problems found during testing, such as parts that bind, rattle, or don't line up.
  • Make parts stronger or lighter, with ribs, fillets, better wall thickness, or a different material.
  • Reduce cost by simplifying features, relaxing tolerances that don't matter, or combining parts.
  • Adapt a design to a new process: a printed prototype redesigned for machining or production, or a machined part made printable.
  • Repair broken files: STL meshes with holes or errors, and imports that came through wrong.
  • Convert formats: STL to STEP, 3D to 2D DXF, or drawings to 3D models.
  • Update drawings to match the latest version of the part.

What you get

  • Updated files in the formats you need, with the changes noted.
  • A quick review of anything else we notice that could cause trouble when the part is made.
  • A price for making the revised part, if you want us to make it.

Try our free STL to STEP converter or CAD file viewer first; we can take it from there.

For example: an enclosure downloaded as an STL, converted to an editable model, widened by 1/4 in. to fit a new circuit board, given a cable port, and printed the same week.

Replacement parts and reverse engineering

New parts made from old ones, whether they're broken, worn out, or no longer sold.

What we do

  • Measure the original from the part itself (bring it in by appointment) or from photos with a ruler and key measurements.
  • Rebuild it in CAD, including the hard-to-see details: draft, threads, clips, and mating features.
  • Fix the weak spot that made it break, with thicker sections, fillets, or a tougher material.
  • Check the fit against the parts it mates with, with a quick printed test part when it matters.
  • Make it in the right material, often stronger than the original: machined Delrin, aluminum, or steel instead of brittle plastic.

What you get

  • A replacement part that fits and lasts.
  • The CAD file, so the next one is a simple reorder.
  • Spares made at the same time for a lower price per part.

For example: a cracked knob and gear from discontinued shop equipment, measured, remodeled with a stronger hub, and machined from Delrin.

Electronics and programming

The parts and the code together, so your product works, not just looks right.

What we do

  • Program microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi Pico for prototypes and small products.
  • Read sensors and drive outputs: temperature, distance, position, buttons and switches, LEDs, displays, relays, motors, and servos.
  • Connect devices over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB, so they can report data or be controlled from a phone or computer.
  • Choose off-the-shelf boards and modules that fit your budget and size.
  • Design enclosures around the electronics, with standoffs, cutouts for ports, displays, and buttons, ventilation, and cable strain relief.
  • Wire and assemble prototypes and small batches, including soldering, connectors, and harnesses.

What you get

  • A working prototype: electronics, enclosure, and firmware together.
  • The source code, with notes on how it works and how to change settings.
  • A parts list for the electronics, so you can build more.

For example: a tank level monitor: a distance sensor and a Wi-Fi microcontroller, programmed to send readings to a phone, inside a weatherproof printed enclosure with a mounting bracket.

Prototyping

Parts you can hold, test, and show, in days rather than weeks.

What we do

  • 3D print functional prototypes in PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, Nylon, and flexible TPU, strong enough to test.
  • Resin print detailed models with smooth surfaces and fine features for appearance and small precise parts.
  • Machine or laser cut prototypes when the real material matters, such as aluminum or acrylic.
  • Print several versions side by side so you can compare sizes, fits, or shapes in one round.
  • Iterate quickly: test, tell us what to change, and get the next version fast.

What you get

  • Looks-like models for appearance and works-like prototypes for testing.
  • Advice on what to change before you commit to production.
  • A clear path from prototype to production, with the same files.

Production

One part or a production run, in metal, plastic, wood, and more.

What we do

  • CNC milling: plates, brackets, housings, pockets, threads, and 3D surfaces in aluminum, steel, stainless, brass, and engineering plastics.
  • CNC turning: shafts, bushings, pins, spacers, and threaded parts.
  • CNC routing: large panels, signs, and fixtures from plywood, MDF, HDPE, and acrylic sheet.
  • Laser cutting and engraving: detailed flat parts, signs, gaskets, and engraving in acrylic, wood, leather, and more.
  • 3D printing: end-use parts, fixtures, and short runs where molds don't make sense.
  • Any quantity: setup is charged once per job, so the price per part drops as you order more.
  • Repeat orders cost less to set up, because the work is already programmed.

What you get

  • An instant price for your file, confirmed by a person.
  • Critical dimensions checked, and standard tolerance of ±0.005 in. on machined parts unless your drawing says otherwise.
  • Parts made in the USA, to your drawing.

Finishing

The last steps that make a part ready to use or sell.

What we do

  • Deburring on every machined part, so edges are clean and safe to handle.
  • Bead blasting for an even matte finish, and anodizing for wear resistance and color on aluminum, on request.
  • Engraving logos, part numbers, serial numbers, and labels.
  • Tapped holes and threads cut directly into the part.
  • Threaded inserts installed in printed and plastic parts for strong, reusable screw threads.

What you get

  • Parts that are ready to install, not just cut.
  • One price for the part and its finish.

Assembly and delivery

Your parts, put together and delivered the way you need them.

What we do

  • Assemble multi-part products, including hardware, fasteners, and electronics.
  • Kit and package parts by set, so they arrive ready to use or sell.
  • Pick up in Spanish Fork by appointment, or have your order shipped nationwide.
  • Keep you posted from order to delivery.

What you get

  • One contact for the whole job, from the first sketch to the delivered product.

Who we work with

From a single part for a weekend project to production parts for a business.

Inventors and startups

Turn an idea into a working prototype you can test, show investors, and take to production, without hiring a design firm, a programmer, and a machine shop separately.

Small businesses and manufacturers

Jigs, fixtures, replacement machine parts, short production runs, and custom components, with repeat orders that are quick to place.

Engineers and designers

Send a finished STEP file and drawing for an instant price, or hand off the modeling and drawings when your schedule is full.

Makers and homeowners

One-off parts, repairs, gifts, signs, and projects, with honest advice on the least expensive way to make them.

Questions about our services

Can you help if I only have an idea?

Yes. Many projects start that way. Tell us what the part needs to do and we'll work out the design with you, then make it. Describe your part to see your options and a rough price range first.

Do I have to use all of your services?

No. Use us for one step, such as modeling a part, programming a board, or machining a finished design, or for the whole project.

Can you add electronics to my product?

Yes. We program microcontrollers, connect sensors, motors, displays, and buttons, and design the enclosure around the electronics, so the parts and the code work together.

Can you sign a nondisclosure agreement?

If your project needs one, ask and we can sign an NDA before you share your design. Either way, we never share your files.

How much does design work cost?

It depends on how complex the part is and how much we start with. We quote design work up front, so you know the cost before we start. Simple parts and changes to existing files are often quick.

Is there anything you can't make?

Bring us anything. We make parts of any size, in any quantity, from a single prototype to a production run. If your project needs something special, we'll call you and talk it through.

Tell us about your project. Upload a file for an instant price, describe your idea, or call us for a free consultation.
