Past Projects

Greenhouse CO2 Enricher

This unit is a prototype for enriching CO2 concentration in greenhouses. For this particular time sensitive project we were given an assembly model. Each part then had to be evaluated for manufacturability, some parts then had to have their model modified and some required completely new models. The Assembly model was reconstructed and analyzed. From there,

Spine Chair

This is a special chair use by radiology groups to help position patients for spine imaging. An imaging technologist wanted a modified version of what they were currently using to fit her application. We met with a team of imaging technologists to see the original chair and discuss the feasibility of the proposed changes.

1925 Buick distributor

A customer was restoring a special version of a 1925 Buick and asked if we would be able to produce a new distributer body, timing plate, shoulder bolts, and the bushings for the distributor shaft. The original diecast part was frozen inside the housing which mounts to the motor, and several chunks had fallen off which

Prone Cart

We were approached to collaborate in the design of a prone cart for children. What initially started as merely a conceptual sketch soon led to a prototype, some design reviews and alterations, ending in a patented product for a satisfied customer. The cart extends to accommodate various heights of individuals, has a storage tote underneath, and

Vine Park Brewery Facade

We were tasked to help design, and produce the façade for Vine Park Brewery in St. Paul, MN. After a conceptual design was approved drawings were created to get the job out on the floor First the bottle cap was milled Then the cap was polished and the words filled with paint. Our sheet metal

Staten Island Museum Bench

We were tasked with making several custom benches for a museum show with a very short lead time. Compounding the time issue, we had to have a custom die made up for the extrusion (top slats) which took a couple iterations. The customers last email stated “A short note to say thank you, considering it was

Mold plate stack

We assisted a customer in the design, drafting, and manufacturing, of a multilayer mold stack. There were several plates including the mold plate, thermal and cooling plates, and mounting plates, but only the mold plate is pictured. We took the existing technology and made enhancements to improve upon the design, redrafted the drawings to so

Flash Lamp Reflector

There were several parts to this reverse engineering project, only the reflectors are pictured. The flash lamp reflectors have an involute curve where the X & Y axis have different equations governing the curve. This shape allows the energy of the flashlamp, including that energy emitted from the back side, to be focused onto a target plane. The
