A hardware agency that designs show stopping robotic enclosures
Engineers excel at circuits, not curves. Artistic hard surface designers who can translate robotic functionality into compelling industrial design are hard to find.
The robotics industry has plenty of mechanical engineers who can design functional parts, but few who approach enclosures as sculptural works. Creative hard surface modeling requires artistic vision, technical precision, and manufacturing expertise—a rare combination. We bring gallery-worthy aesthetics to production-ready robotic hardware that stands out in competitive markets.
100% Project Completion Rate
Our 100% hardware development completion rate showcases reliability, expertise, and dedication, ensuring clients receive fully functional, cutting-edge solutions consistently.
Artist Meets Engineer Approach
Robotics-Focused Design Language
We understand robotic systems deeply. Our enclosures accommodate sensors, actuators, thermal management, and maintenance access while maintaining clean, futuristic aesthetics that communicate advanced technology.
From Sketch to Manufacturing Files
Complete design service from initial concepts through final production documentation. We deliver renders for pitches, CAD models for prototyping, and technical drawings for manufacturing.
Investor-Ready Visual Assets
Beyond CAD files, we create photorealistic renders and presentation materials that make funding pitches compelling. Show investors what production units will look like, not breadboards.
1 - 3 month turnaround
Our 1-3 month app development time guarantees fast delivery, enabling clients to launch quickly, seize opportunities, and outpace competitors. We’re the fastest devs we know!
Production-Ready from Day One
Every model we deliver is manufacturing-focused: proper tolerances, assembly sequences, material specifications. No unusable concept art—just CAD files your manufacturer can quote immediately.
Rapid Iteration Without Quality Loss
Fast turnaround doesn’t mean rushed work. We iterate quickly on design variations, giving you multiple compelling options to evaluate while maintaining production-ready quality standards.
Premium Positioning Through Design
Your hardware’s appearance directly impacts perceived value. Our hard surface modeling elevates products from “functional prototype” to “premium offering”—justifying 2-3x higher price points.
Multi-Material Design Expertise
Whether injection molding, CNC aluminum, carbon fiber, or hybrid assemblies—we design for your manufacturing method and budget, optimizing aesthetics within real-world production constraints.
Stop Losing Deals to Ugly Prototypes
Exposed circuits kill credibility. We transform functional breadboards into sleek, professional enclosures that win investor meetings, customer demos, and trade show attention.
We build with heart
Your Idea Deserves Beautiful Housing
Commodity-Looking Hardware Can’t Command Premium Prices
Identical internal technology in different enclosures sells for wildly different prices. Generic boxes compete on specs and cost—race to the bottom. Distinctive hard surface design creates perceived value, brand differentiation, and pricing power. Customers pay premium for products that look premium. Exceptional industrial design isn’t expense—it’s the highest-ROI investment in hardware development.
FAQ
Still have a few last questions before bringing us on as your development partner?
We’ve tried to answer as many questions as possible on our website and over on our social channels. If you have questions which you can’t find the answers to on our website, feel free to shoot us an email. We’ve also listed our most frequently asked questions over to the right.
What’s the cost?
What types of hardware projects do you design for?
We specialize in robotic enclosures, autonomous device housings, and advanced mechatronic systems. From research lab prototypes to commercial product launches, we work with drones, mobile robots, industrial automation, IoT devices, and any hardware requiring premium hard surface modeling and manufacturing-ready CAD design.
Do you only do enclosures or handle electronics too?
Our primary focus is hard surface modeling, enclosure design, and mechanical assemblies. While we design around your electronics and can recommend component layouts for optimal fit, we partner with electrical engineers for circuit design.
How long does a typical enclosure design project take?
Initial concept designs typically take 1-2 weeks. Full production-ready CAD with manufacturing documentation requires 3-6 weeks depending on complexity. Rush projects available for tight deadlines. We provide milestone reviews throughout, ensuring you’re never waiting weeks without seeing progress or providing input on design direction.
Do you provide photorealistic renders for marketing?
Yes. Beyond technical CAD files, we create stunning photorealistic renders, 360° turntables, exploded views, and presentation materials perfect for investor decks, crowdfunding campaigns, trade show graphics, and website hero images. Your hardware will look production-ready before manufacturing begins, enabling effective pre-launch marketing.
What information do you need to start a project?
We need your hardware dimensions/CAD if available, key component locations, functional requirements (cooling, access panels, mounting), production method preferences, budget parameters, and aesthetic direction or reference images. Don’t worry if details are loose—we’ll workshop requirements together in our discovery phase before design begins.
Can you help with design for manufacturing (DFM) optimization?
Yes, that’s core to our process. We proactively design for manufacturability, considering tooling costs, assembly complexity, material selection, and production volumes. Before finalizing designs, we can coordinate with your manufacturer for DFM review, ensuring zero surprises when you request quotes and smooth transition to production tooling.
How can I be sure that I’ll be happy with the delivery?
As soon as you begin working with us you’ll be given the opportunity to express your vision for your project. We then map out your vision in bite-sized chunks (sprints) in our proprietary project delivery software. Within this software we’ll begin work completing each sprint. Before we’re able to move to the next sprint, you’ll need to approve the completion of the current sprint. In this way, we ensure you’re 100% happy each step of the way.
What the development timeline?
Generally speaking we can push a project across the finish line within 1 week (simple projects) to 3 months (complex projects).
What file formats and CAD software do you deliver?
We deliver native CAD files (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Plasticity or your preferred platform), STEP/IGES for universal compatibility, STL for prototyping, and technical drawings with full manufacturing specifications. You receive complete design packages ready for CNC, injection molding, 3D printing, or your chosen production method.
Can you design for my specific manufacturing method?
Absolutely. Whether injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, carbon fiber layup, or 3D printing—we optimize designs for your production method and budget. We understand draft angles, undercuts, tolerances, and cost drivers for each process, ensuring designs are beautiful AND economically manufacturable at your target volumes.
What if the design needs changes during prototyping?
Design iteration is normal and expected. We include revision rounds in our projects and remain available during your prototyping phase. If test-fitting reveals needed adjustments or you want to refine aesthetics after seeing physical prototypes, we’ll update CAD files and documentation to ensure final production units are perfect.
