What we do
Our manufacturing services
Four core processes, coordinated support: design review, prototyping, production, inspection and packaging.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
From single prototypes to production runs, we cut, form, weld and finish sheet and plate in-house, with robotic assist on our heaviest equipment.
- Fiber laser and plasma cutting
- 300-ton, 20-ft press brake with robotic arm
- Robotic welding (MIG / TIG)
- Sandblast and automated powder coat line
CNC Machining
Machined prototypes and production parts, plus the tool and die work that supports them.
- CNC machining and CNC punching
- Wire EDM and water jet cutting
- Tool and die making
- Plating and finishing: anodized, black oxide, zinc, nickel, chrome
3D Printing
Industrial 3D printing with the Markforged X7 supports functional prototypes, tooling, fixtures and application-specific production parts. Material selection and print preparation are reviewed for the intended use.
- Onyx, Onyx FR, Onyx ESD and nylon options
- Carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar and HSHT fiberglass reinforcement
- Functional prototypes, tooling and fixtures
- Print preparation and material selection support
Injection Molding & Casting
Molded and cast components for product development and production programs, supported through the K&L manufacturing network. The production route is selected around your specifications, material and order volume.
- Injection molding
- Metal casting and forging
- Proprietary manufacturing at K&L Korea
- Bay Area and Taiwan partner manufacturers
Design and engineering support
Engineering support from the first sketch.
Our team supports design-for-manufacturing review, material and process selection, and prototype development. Share drawings, CAD files or an existing component so we can discuss a practical production approach.
- 2D / 3D CAD rendering and drawing support
- Design-for-manufacturing review before you commit
- Direct communication with our project and technical teams
How to work with us
Send your design
Share CAD files, drawings or just an idea. We take it from there.
Engineering review
We check manufacturability and recommend the right material, process and finish.
We build it
Fabrication, machining, printing, finishing and assembly, in-house or through our network.
Inspect, kit and ship
Inspection, product identification, custom packaging and kitting, then delivery.
Digital manufacturing across your product life cycle
One partner from prototype to end of life.
Rapid Prototyping
Fast iterations with manufacturability feedback before you invest in tooling.
Ongoing Production
Program management focused on cost, quantity and quality, run after run.
Short-Term Production
Jigs, fixtures and bridge or end-of-life inventory when volume is limited.
Kitting & Fulfillment
Custom packaging, private labeling and kits shipped straight to your customer.
Quality assurance
Minimizing errors before shipping.
- Vision inspection systems for real-time quality control
- Smart camera systems to reduce defects
- RFID and barcode tracking, automated parcel labeling
- Cloud-based data analytics for process optimization
