	Initial Meeting Whether in person, via teleconference, or e-mail, this important first step ensures that your project goes according to plan and that all of your ideas and input are incorporated into the design.
	Concept Development Utilizing the latest in CAD and engineering software, we will develop your product "virtually". This electronic media allows continuous sharing of information and input before committing to rapid prototypes or actual working samples.
	Prototyping After initial approval of the concept, we can provide a "Rapid Prototype" (stereo lithography) or a full on working metal prototype.
	Production Once the design or prototype has been approved, we will develop a full set of manufacturing prints and documents and the manufacturing process will be handed off to our production planning dept. Our fully equipped shop is capable of producing your product in any quantity that you need.
	Quality Our quality assurance department gets started at the beginning of the production planning process to ensure that all necessary inspection criteria and gaging tools are in place before manufacturing begins.
	Packaging Our experienced shipping department takes great care in packing and shipping your product to you. We take pride in the products we produce and we work hard to get them to you safely and securely.
