We use state-of-the-art 3D modeling software to design any part or assembly we need to create. From a refined design, we can analyze the function and operation of the assembly to ensure its viability, even before we fabricate it. This software allows for us to share the design and collaboratively refine it, while analyzing it from all angles. With the conclusion of the design process, the software yields technical drawings and CNC files necessary to fabricate the design.

Printed circuit boards are at the heart of almost every device with electronic aspects. Our PCB design tools allow us to take an electronic design and optimally and permanently assemble the circuit. Even for a relatively simple circuit, a PCB allows for a more professional prototype and allows for the use of smaller components, reducing the overall footprint of the board. We often use a standardized library of components for our design, allowing for quick turnaround and consistent design practices between projects.

We often use Stereo Lithography (SLA) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printing methods to produce mock-ups and early prototypes of our designs. This process works hand in hand with our CAD tools, bringing a design from a visualization on a computer to a physical model which provides a better sense of scale. With the increase in quality of 3D printers, we have even been able to use 3D printing to produce real-world products and components quickly and with much lower cost than other methods, such as injection molding

We have experience designing electrical systems for a variety of applications, including lighting displays, audio systems, power systems, and automation. Through our time in this field, we have developed our own catalog of components and subsystems we use, which are often interchangeable between different projects. This not only allows us to anticipate potential modes of failure, but it drastically reduces the time required for the development and prototyping stages. In addition to creating new designs, our skills allow us to diagnose and repair defective and failed devices. We have a wide array of test equipment which is critical to the troubleshooting process.

While some electronic designs are relatively simple, others require microprocessor control, in which case significant programming is involved in achieving the goal. We have experience with many different chip architectures, ranging from inexpensive 8-bit controllers through complex 32 and 64 bit microprocessors, the selection of which is dependent on the task at hand. Previous projects include applications in Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, data management and security, computer vision, and standardized stage lighting control.
