Steve was very cooperative with the project he was given. With have no experience with our project before, he was able to take our drawings and design and make it come to life. The 8 parts were made on time and in accordance with our schedule. We even had a last minute emergency where Steve was able to very quickly reproduce another part that my team broke due to assembly error.
I would highly recommend Steve to another company looking for someone to make critical, complex components true to design and in a timely manner.

Steve was awesome to work with! He contacted me within a few minutes after I entered the request. I described what I needed designed and he understood immediately. Within a few days, Steve had designs for me to review and a week later I had prototypes of my product. They are extremely good quality and the functionality is excellent. I would highly recommend Steve.

Steve helped me with an unusual 3D scanning project - even provided printing resources and information on my existing model. Prompt and polite. Very positive experience and I'm pleased with the outcome.
