Boise Engineering and build support for manufacturers, shops, startups, and maintenance teams in the Treasure Valley.

CAD to part Reverse engineering, CAD models, drawings, prototypes, and 3D prints.

Project work Focused support for prototypes, short runs, tooling, and projects that need additional engineering capacity.

Jigs, fixtures, and assembly aids

I design custom jigs, fixtures, and assembly aids for your parts and assembly process. I also create 3D printed and foam 5S organizers for manufacturing tooling sets.

Prototypes and small-batch manufacturing

I produce FDM 3D prints in-house and coordinate CNC machining, MJF 3D printing, and sheet metal fabrication with manufacturing partners. Get prototypes or small batches using the process your project needs.

Design for fabrication

I apply design for manufacturing (DFM) to your CAD models and drawings, selecting materials, tolerances, and features to suit CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal, and other processes.

Reverse engineering and product design

Measure existing parts, recreate missing geometry, improve fit or manufacturability, and turn rough product ideas into buildable models and drawings.

Engineering and fabrication support can be quoted by project or by the hour after the scope is reviewed.

Define the problem

Send the part, process, sketch, photo, broken fixture, or rough idea. I will help turn it into a scoped project.

Design the solution

CAD, design review, tolerance decisions, material choices, and fabrication planning based on what the part needs to do.

Prototype and build

Produce the first prototype using the selected manufacturing process, either in-house or with a manufacturing partner.

Refine for use

Test fit and function, make any needed design changes, and verify the revised part. Finalize the drawings and documentation for use or production.

Mechanical design and CAD/CAM

Part and assembly design, drawings, prototypes, fixture concepts, tolerances, and design for manufacturing.

Reverse engineering and product development

Recreate discontinued, broken, or unavailable parts, capture key dimensions from physical samples, and develop new product concepts into manufacturable geometry.

3D printing for functional parts

FDM material selection, print setup, small batches, replacement parts, brackets, adapters, and iterative prototypes. Explore contract 3D printing.

Machined and fabricated components

Small manual mill and lathe work, TIG welding, and basic fabrication within available capacity. Larger or specialized machining and sheet metal work can be coordinated with outside vendors.

Manufacturing engineering support

Process improvement, line-side tooling, troubleshooting, basic electrical and mechatronic work, operator aids, and additional engineering capacity.

Workstation development and shop organization

Custom benches, tool layouts, shadow-board style foam inserts, line-side storage, operator-ready kits, and visual systems that make repeat work easier.

Project inquiry

Tell me about your project.

Include the part's use, rough size, quantity, timeline, material needs, and any photos, sketches, or CAD files you have.

Engineering projects start at $250. Describe what you need to design, build, or improve, along with your quantity and timeline.

Engineering projects start at $250. Final pricing depends on the project scope.
Boise and Treasure Valley work is preferred, especially when seeing the part or process in person helps.
