Products

Our own hardware, made with the same carbon fiber, CNC machining, bonding and electronics work we offer clients. Each product is also a working example of something you can hire us to make.

SSD Enclosure 1

A Thunderbolt 4 NVMe enclosure: a 4 mm prepreg carbon fiber shell, a machined aluminum backplate and a controller board, assembled into one product. Made in Canada.

Technology inside

• Prepreg compression molding. The shell is pressed in a matched mold, so every one comes out the same thickness and finish. See composites.
• Compression mold tooling. The matched mold that makes the shell. See tooling.
• CNC machining. A 6061-T6 aluminum backplate in Victory Gold, Quantum Silver or Stealth Black. See CNC machining.
• Electronics integration. A JHL7440 Thunderbolt 4 controller and an on-demand fan inside a carbon fiber body, at up to 40Gbps.

See SSD Enclosure 1 or read how the shell is made.

Ski Pole 1

An aerodynamic ski pole: a hollow, high-modulus carbon fiber shaft with titanium hardware in Gold or Silver.

Technology inside

• Hollow composite structure. A thin-walled, high-modulus carbon shaft with a drag-reducing, non-round cross-section. See composites.
• Adhesive bonding. The titanium hardware is bonded to the carbon shaft, a joint that has to survive impacts and cold. See bonding carbon fiber.
• Titanium CNC machining. Grip, basket and tip hardware machined from titanium and finished in Gold or Silver. See CNC machining.
• Where else it applies. A hollow carbon tube with bonded titanium ends is also how prosthetic pylons and robot links are often built.

See Ski Pole 1.

V1 Laptop Stands

A vertical laptop stand with a built-in, fan-cooled NVMe SSD enclosure, machined in titanium or aluminum.

Technology inside

• CNC machining in two materials. The same design machined in titanium and in aluminum. Titanium cuts slower and holds heat at the tool, so the two need different tooling and feeds. See CNC machining.
• Electronics integration. An M.2 NVMe enclosure, up to 8TB at 40Gbps, and an on-demand fan built into the stand.
• Fit and finish. Adjustable from 14 to 45 mm for laptops from 13 to 17 inches, with anti-slip pads.

See the V1 Titanium and V1 Aluminum.

Porsche 911 Harness Bar

A harness bar for the Porsche 911 in 4130 chromoly or titanium tube, made with M-Tech Racing.

Technology inside

• Tube fabrication and welding. Bent and welded 4130 chromoly or titanium tube. See metal fabrication.
• Quick-turn prototyping. Designed and built on a motorsport timeline, where parts have to fit the car the first time. See prototyping.

More on the projects page.

In Development

• Carbon fiber golf putter. Composite design and molding applied to a precision sporting product.
• Ski rack mount for the Porsche 992 GT3. 3D printed and CNC machined parts in one assembly. See 3D printing.
