Manufacturing Capabilities
Machines
- 10 Bambu Labs 3D printers.
- High quality materials for engineering.
- Our tolerances are within 0.1mm - 0.3mm depending on the part we reverse engineer.
Process
-
Problem ➔
Every product starts with a real-world issue.
• Discontinued or unavailable part
• Poor OEM design
• Performance limitation
• Custom application requirement
• Broken component needing reverse engineeringWe define:
Functional requirements
Environmental exposure (heat, vibration, UV, chemicals)
Load and stress considerations
Fitment constraints
If the problem isn’t clearly defined, the solution won’t be correct.
-
CAD ➔
Once the problem is understood, we move into digital development.
Using advanced CAD software, we:
• Model the component from scratch or reverse engineer from an existing part
• Optimize geometry for strength-to-weight balance
• Design for proper fitment and tolerance
• Account for material characteristics
• Adjust for additive manufacturing constraintsEvery dimension has a purpose.
Every surface is intentional. -
Prototype➔
Before production, we validate the design physically.
• Initial prototype print
• Fitment verification
• Installation test
• Functional stress evaluationWe assess:
Alignment
Tolerance accuracy
Mounting integrity
Interference issues
If it doesn’t fit correctly or function properly, it goes back to CAD.
-
Test➔
Real-world testing matters.
Depending on the application, this may include:
• Heat exposure evaluation
• Vibration resistance
• Mechanical stress assessment
• Material performance confirmation
• Long-term durability observationWe do not move to production until performance meets our internal standards.
-
Production
Once validated, the design moves into small-batch manufacturing.
Our production process focuses on:
• Consistent material selection
• Controlled print parameters
• Repeatable quality standards
• Batch consistency
• Post-processing when requiredEach part is produced with the same parameters used during testing, no shortcuts.
If a design revision improves performance, we implement it.
Continuous Improvement
Manufacturing is not static.
If field feedback or testing identifies a way to improve strength, durability, or fitment, the design may be updated.
We prioritize functional improvement over design stagnation.
Why This Matters
Anyone can print a part.
Engineering a solution requires:
• Defined requirements
• Structured design
• Validation
• Controlled production
That’s the Hangar 12 approach.
