Research & Lab

Custom test rigs, fixtures and frames, designed, engineered and built for one purpose.

One-off equipment for one test

For specialty engineers, researchers and founders who need equipment that doesn't exist yet, built exactly once and built right.

What we make

  • Test rigs and testing equipment
  • Instrument frames and enclosures
  • Frames for cryostats and sensitive instruments
  • Sample fixtures that repeat every time
  • Prototype parts and small batches

We handle the design, engineering and manufacturing, in 316 stainless steel and aluminum, with machining, TIG welding, assembly and testing.

Custom test equipment: a hydrostatic head tester

A small, mobile tester that measures the water pressure a fabric resists before water passes through it.

What we did

We completed the design, engineering and manufacturing.

Materials and processes

316 stainless steel, machining, TIG (GTAW) welding, assembly and testing

Result

A small-form-factor, mobile hydrostatic head tester developed for the customer's specific product testing.
