Do you need to turn your napkin sketch into a finished product? I can do that. What I bring to the table: * Strong modeling skills - with my hands and using Rhino 3D, Fusion 360, & Sketchup. * An understanding of the working properties of various wood species, fabrics, metals, ceramics, composites, and plastics. * Experience that will help you select the best approach to manufacturing. * The skills to listen and communicate effectively. * The maturity to manage complex projects and solve problems without wasting time. In-house prototyping capabilities: * Accurate CAD drawings and 3D models. - Including product design and architectural models. * Hands-on prototype fabrication. * Tool path planning and CNC milling in wood, plastic, and aluminum. * Loose and match plate pattern making for metal casting. * TIG Welding * Woodworking shop. * Industrial sewing studio. * Product testing. * Manufacturing consulting In addition to my workshop I have local colleagues I can hire as needed. These individuals and facilities excell at providing the following services: Precision CNC machining: metal turning, surface grinding, guilloche engraving, gear cutting, soldering, hydraulic pressing, rolling, drilling, milling, enameling. 3D printing, water jet cutting, laser cutting, press brake bending, sand blasting, heavy metal machining, gasket making, injection molding expertise, wire edm cutting, and many other processes. My decades of experience creating clever, graceful forms will put smiles on the faces of people who see, touch, and interact with your products. You only need to pay for good design once.
