Capability
Napkin sketch to holdable prototype in days.
Concept CAD, first-article print, and revision cycles compressed to the shortest honest turnaround so you’re testing form and fit before your competition is even shopping vendors.
Cycle
Sketch → CAD → Print → Review
Typical turnaround
3 – 7 days for V1
Iterations
Priced per rev · not capped
Confidentiality
NDA on request
- What you get
A part in your hand before you commit to tooling.
Concept CAD
Fast parametric model built from your description, sketch, or reference photos.
First-article print
Physical prototype in the material closest to the production intent.
Revision cycles
Fast turnarounds between V1, V2, V3 priced per revision, not per hour of guesswork.
Design-freeze package
Once V-final is approved, the file set is production-ready for the next stage.

- Who this is for
Anyone who needs to see it before they trust it.
Product teams pre-tooling
Prove out the design before you spend $40K on a mold. Fit-check against real assemblies, get real user feedback, then commit.
Trade show and pitch deck demos
A holdable prototype closes rooms that renderings can't. Fast turn on demo units for the show, the investor meeting, or the customer visit.
Fit checks against existing assemblies
New bracket has to bolt onto legacy equipment. Print it, try it, adjust no drama, no shipping delays.
Inventors validating a concept
Prove the mechanism works in the physical world before you file, pitch, or pour money into it.
- The Grand Designs edge
Fast without cutting corners.
Real feedback loop
Direct communication with the designer holding the part. Feedback is baked into V2, not lost between three project managers.
Compressed cycles, not corners
Turnaround is fast because the process is disciplined not because steps are skipped. The V1 you hold is a V1 you can actually test.
Nothing goes to production untested
Prototype phase ends when the part is right, not when the calendar says so. Willing to eat a delay over shipping wrong.
Idea forming?
Send the concept. Hold V1 next week.
A sketch, a description, or a competitor’s part with “make this but…” is enough to start. First article typically in-hand within a week.
