Engineering ideas into reality
Optical Engineering · Mechanical Design · Electronics · Product Development
From initial concept to CAD design to functional prototypes and production-ready solutions.
A few examples of our work...
Product Design & Development
We take on as large of a role as is required to assist in developing products such as lasers, flashlights, food handling, safety equipment, manufacturing tooling, recreational products, and others. Matt began his technology career in the manufacturing arena, and thus honors his roots by incorporating 'design for manufacturing' principles with new product development.
Laser & Illumination
Mechanical & CAD
Electrical & PCB
As an opto-mechanical engineer, Matt has decades of hands-on experience with laser systems, optical assemblies, illumination products, optical alignment, and opto-mechanical design.
Using SolidWorks and AutoCAD, we facilitate 3D modeling, mechanical assemblies, engineering drawings, enclosures, and manufacturing documentation.
Modern devices rely heavily on electronics. We can design your printed circuit board (PCB), perform the layout, create Gerber files, and perform assembly & test using surface mount or through hole technology.
Prototyping
Systems Integration
Product Development
Taking new inventions and product ideas from initial concept through engineering and development
With a fully functional laser lab, we can build prototypes and short production runs using custom tooling, 3D printing, CNC-ready designs, mechanical prototypes, and functional assemblies
Bringing mechanical, optical, and electronic subsystems together into working products. Testing to product specification and industry standards, and tooling to begin production of low-to-high volume products.
Have an idea, invention, or engineering challenge? Let's talk about it. Whether you need help with a complete product design or just a little engineering assistance, we'd love to hear about your project.
