Prototype Shop
Rapid fabrication and prototype manufacturing for engineers, startups, and local companies.
Submit an RFQ for parts, fixtures, or small assemblies. Quick turnaround, direct collaboration with experienced builders, and documented inspection on every job.
Revenue from fabrication directly funds training, equipment, and workforce development.

How It Works
Step 1
Send Your Package
Submit CAD files (STEP preferred), drawings, material specs, and quantity requirements.
Step 2
Get a Quote
We review for manufacturability and provide a scoped proposal with timeline and inspection requirements.
Step 3
Build with Checkpoints
Work proceeds under documented instructions with in-process verification and first article inspection.
Step 4
Deliver with Documentation
Final inspection, documentation package, and delivery or pickup coordination.
Training Mission
Every job is a training opportunity. Students work under direct mentor supervision on real customer parts, learning the discipline of production-grade manufacturing while earning credentials that matter to employers.
This is not a commodity job shop. We do not compete on volume pricing. We build first-of-their-kind parts for teams solving hard problems, under systems designed for accountability and repeatability.
