One process carries every engagement, whether it’s a research program, a lab job, or a sensing deployment. We define it, scope it, build it in our own lab, prove it, and carry it forward.
Every step ends with something you can hold: a problem statement, a proposal, hardware, data, or a plan for what comes next.
A conversation with the scientists closest to your problem: what you need, the environment it has to work in, and what success looks like. NDAs are signed here if you need them.
You getA clear problem statement and success criteria
We propose an approach with milestones, cost, and timeline, and agree on IP, data, and publication terms before work starts.
You getA proposal or a quote
Design, fabrication, and integration happen in our own Albuquerque lab: the cleanroom, the plating line, and the electronics bench.
You getPrototypes, parts, or configured systems
We characterize and test in the lab and in real conditions, and iterate on the build until the results hold up.
You getData and a report you can check
The work moves on: into a follow-on program, a license, production, or a deployment your team is trained to run.
You getA next step, with support
Design, fabrication, characterization, and testing all happen in our Albuquerque lab, so a design change is a conversation down the hall, not a new vendor.
How the five steps play out depends on what you’re here for. Here is what each path typically looks like.
For national laboratories, universities, agencies, and companies with a problem nobody has solved.
Fee-for-service microfabrication, metal micromachining, characterization, and coatings.
Integrates with your ERP, CRM, and inventory systems through APIs and dashboards.
