What is your production process?
We conceptualize improvements for equipment and machines in a small shop environment to maximize efficiency and productivity. Our Ideas are then put into the design phase where we create virtual simulations to examine performance and fitment. we prototype with additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing to abide by a cost effective fail fast fail cheap workflow. Once our concepts have been proven virtually and in stage 1 prototyping, we create a production prototype version in the final materials using production processing methods which which are then put into real world testing on our own machines. When we are satisfied that our product has proven itself to our high standards, only then do we run a small production batch which is sent out to beta tester customers who put the products through their paces and supply feedback. this valuable feedback is then used to finalize any changes and retest the products before final production.
