What this means for you

You shouldn't have to run
a supply chain to build a product.

Bring us your design — not a blank slate. We execute the build, own the logistics, and get hardware back to you fast enough to actually learn from it.

Your team focuses on
→
Validate faster. Close the design loop.
Hardware back in days, not weeks. Test it, learn from it, change it. The faster you iterate, the faster you know what works.
→
Improving the design each round
With DFM input on every iteration, your design gets better and cheaper to produce — without starting over.
→
Marketing and go-to-market
Time freed from logistics is time building your audience, refining your story, and getting the launch right.
→
Raising and closing customers
Show working hardware, not slides. Real parts in hand change every investor and customer conversation.

Process

One partner.
The whole product.

Most shops do one thing and hand you off. We coordinate the entire build — mechanical and electronic — with a local network you can actually visit.

01
Engineering & design review
We review your CAD and schematics, flag DFM issues early, and suggest changes before a chip is cut or board ordered.
02
Mechanical build
CNC machining, welding, and fab in-house. Material pulled same-day from local suppliers when your timeline is tight.
03
Electronics & firmware
PCB design and board assembly through our local partner network. Firmware coordinated in parallel.
04
Finishing & treatment
Heat treat, powder coat, anodize — in-house or through our Austin-area network. No waiting on cross-country shipping.
05
Assembly & iteration
We integrate mech and electronics into working hardware, iterate fast with you, then scale when you're ready.
What we do

Mechanical.
Electronic.
Local.

The rare Austin shop that bridges mechanical and electrical — machining, welding, and fab on one side; PCB design, board assembly, and firmware on the other. All coordinated locally.

CNC milling & turning
3-axis milling and turning in aluminum, steel, stainless, titanium, and plastics. Tolerances to ±0.0005".
In-house
Welding & fabrication
TIG, MIG, and structural fab. Frames, brackets, enclosures, and custom assemblies built to spec.
In-house
Laser cutting & bending
Precision sheet metal laser cutting and press brake bending for enclosures, brackets, and structural components — in-house or through our local partner network.
In-house / local
Heat treating
Small-batch heat treat for hardening, stress relief, and annealing. No waiting on outside vendors for prototype quantities.
In-house
Powder coating
In-house powder coat for durable, professional finishes. Fast turnaround for prototypes and small runs.
In-house
Mechanical assembly
From hardware insertion to full multi-component assemblies. Working hardware, not a pile of parts.
In-house
Engineering & DFM
Design for manufacturability review, iteration support, and engineering consultation across mechanical and electrical.
In-house
PCB design & layout
Schematic capture, PCB layout, and design-for-assembly review through our local electronics design partners.
Local partner
PCB assembly (PCBA)
SMT and through-hole assembly, testing, and bring-up — coordinated locally so boards and enclosures arrive together.
Local partner
Firmware development
Embedded firmware, bring-up support, and hardware-software integration through our local firmware engineering network.
Local partner
Anodizing
Type II and Type III anodizing through our Austin-based partner network, coordinated with your other finishing steps.
Local partner
Material sourcing
Same-day stock from local Austin-area metal suppliers. No waiting on shipping when your schedule is tight.
Local partner
Volume scaling
Start with one prototype, scale to medium production without re-explaining your project or re-qualifying suppliers.
Prototype → production
The difference

Less logistics.
More momentum.

01
Validate faster. Close the design loop.
Every day waiting on a part is a day not learning. Local material, in-house processes, and 48-hour rush compress the time between "let's change this" and holding the next version.
02
Bring your design — we execute and scale it
We're not a design firm. We're the partner you call when you have a design and need it built, finished, and ready to ramp. No redesigns, no overseas handoffs.
03
No vendor coordination tax on your team
We own the entire build. You make one call. We make ten so you don't have to. Your engineers stay in their zone; ours stay in theirs.
04
Working hardware to show — not renders
Investors and customers respond to things they can hold. We get you functional prototypes fast enough to put in front of the right people while the conversation is warm.
05
Built here. Accountable here.
An Austin shop with an Austin supply chain. Walk in, see your parts on the floor, talk to the people making them. When something needs changing, we change it the same day.

Supply chain resilience

Built to survive
the next disruption.

COVID, tariff waves, port backlogs, chip shortages — every few years something breaks the global supply chain. We build our sourcing strategy so when it happens again, your product keeps moving.

01
Drop-in alternatives by design
We spec components with qualified drop-in alternatives from the start. When a chip goes end-of-life or a tariff spikes a supplier, the alternative is already identified and validated — not something we scramble for.
Design for supply chain
02
Hyperlocal first, global when it makes sense
Austin-area metal, local finishing, local partners — our supply chain doesn't sit on a container ship. For components requiring global sourcing, we select from multiple geographic sources so no single region is a single point of failure.
Local-first sourcing
03
The partner that keeps delivering
Choosing a manufacturing partner is a bet on whether they can keep delivering when things go sideways. Our local depth and component strategy mean your production continues while others wait months for parts that didn't ship.
Resilience by default
Lead times

Your schedule.
Not ours.

We built our shop around fast turns. Rush isn't an exception — it's an option we plan for.

Emergency rush
When a prototype is blocking your team or a deadline is immovable. We pull material locally and prioritize your job on the floor.
