We’ll analyze your needs, research who’s playing in your space, look at where you have an advantage, and refine a concept into a beautiful, functional solution that your customers will love.

Whether you need new eyes on a problem, more product concepts, someone to build CAD models, or manage prototypes, we can help.

Idea Exploration

Take your idea and explore how to turn it into something real. We can help explore how it’s useful, what it’s market may be, and how to turn it into a real product.

Illustration and Presentation

We’ll take your concept, flesh it out to whatever degree is necessary, and create beautiful presentation imagery.

Prototyping and Model Making

We’ll take you from concept to a physical representation of your product. Whether you need a mechanical mockup to test functionality, an appearance model to see exactly what a product will look and feel like, or a quick 3D print to get a handle on the scale of something, we can get it into CAD and get something real in your hands.
