From concept to physical prototype in as little as 48 hours. Full-service design-to-delivery for startups, inventors, and manufacturers.
Mavtech Designs is not a print farm that blindly runs your file and ships a box. We are a full-service rapid prototyping studio that combines professional CAD design, multi-technology 3D printing, precision CNC machining, and hands-on engineering expertise to take your idea from napkin sketch to functional prototype — all under one roof in Michigan.
Every prototype we produce is backed by a design review process that evaluates manufacturability, material selection, and cost optimization before a single tool moves. Whether you need a quick proof-of-concept in PLA, a high-detail SLA presentation model, or a production-grade CNC-machined aluminum part, we match the right technology to your specific application and budget.
We work with solo inventors protecting their first patent, startup teams racing toward investor demos, and established manufacturers validating new product lines. Our job is to eliminate the guesswork, compress your development timeline, and deliver prototypes that perform exactly as intended — so you can test, iterate, and move to production with confidence.
Simple prototypes manufactured and shipped within 48 hours. When your deadline cannot wait, neither do we.
Self-taught expertise across CAD, 3D printing, CNC, and fabrication — applied to every prototype we build for you.
Every project gets our full attention. We do not consider a job complete until you are satisfied with the result.
Each technology has distinct strengths. We help you select the optimal method based on your part’s requirements, timeline, and budget.
The fastest and most cost-effective path to a physical prototype. Thermoplastic filament is extruded layer by layer to produce durable, functional parts ideal for fit checks, enclosure testing, and mechanical validation. Turnaround as fast as 24 hours for simple geometries.
Best For: Functional testing, enclosures, jigs & fixtures, proof-of-concept models
UV-cured resin delivers exceptional surface finish and fine feature resolution down to 50 microns. Ideal for visual prototypes, investor presentations, and any application where appearance and dimensional precision matter more than raw mechanical strength.
Best For: Visual models, fine detail, presentation prototypes, form checks
When your prototype must match production material properties and tolerances, CNC machining delivers. Parts are cut from solid billet aluminum, steel, brass, or engineering plastics with tolerances as tight as ±0.001″. The result is a prototype indistinguishable from a final production part.
Best For: Metal parts, production-quality prototypes, load-bearing components
Every rapid prototyping project includes a comprehensive package of services designed to take you from idea to physical part with zero gaps.
A dedicated 1-on-1 review of your concept directly with us. We discuss your goals, intended use, manufacturing constraints, and timeline to establish a clear project scope before any work begins. No cost, no obligation.
Full 3D modeling in Fusion 360 or SolidWorks. We build production-ready parametric models from your sketches, descriptions, or existing files — complete with proper feature trees, constraints, and design intent documentation.
Expert guidance on the best material for your application. We evaluate mechanical requirements, environmental conditions, cost targets, and aesthetics to recommend the optimal material and manufacturing technology for your prototype.
Precision manufacturing using the technology best suited to your part — FDM, SLA, SLS, or CNC machining. Every prototype is produced with calibrated equipment, validated process parameters, and thorough quality inspection.
Up to 2 design revisions are included in every prototyping package at no additional cost. Test your prototype, identify improvements, and we will update the CAD model and produce a revised part. Additional revisions available at a transparent hourly rate.
Every prototype is carefully packaged to prevent damage in transit and shipped with full tracking via your preferred carrier. Local pickup is available in Michigan. Rush shipping options ensure your part arrives when you need it.
Our rapid prototyping capabilities serve a wide range of industries, each with unique requirements we're equipped to handle.
Custom brackets, intake manifolds, sensor housings, interior components, and performance parts. We work with race teams, OEM suppliers, and aftermarket manufacturers across Michigan’s automotive corridor.
Enclosures, button assemblies, battery compartments, and display bezels. Prototypes that look and feel like injection-molded production parts for user testing and investor presentations.
Surgical instrument prototypes, diagnostic device housings, patient-specific models, and biocompatible test fixtures. We understand the precision and documentation requirements of medical device development.
Jigs, fixtures, tooling prototypes, replacement parts, and proof-of-concept assemblies for factory automation, hydraulic systems, and production line equipment.
First prototypes for patent applications, crowdfunding campaigns, and investor demos. We help early-stage creators navigate material choices, manufacturing methods, and design optimization on a startup budget.
UAV components, avionics enclosures, structural fittings, and flight-test hardware. Prototypes machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and stainless steel with full material traceability.
We offer three turnaround tiers to match your project urgency. Every tier includes full quality inspection and secure packaging.
For simple parts requiring a single prototype. Available for FDM and SLA technologies using in-stock materials. Ideal when you have a trade show, investor meeting, or design review deadline that cannot move. Includes expedited design review and priority machine scheduling.
Our most popular tier for complex designs requiring multiple iterations or material options. Includes full CAD review, DFM optimization, and your choice of FDM, SLA, or CNC machining. Enough time to get it right without rushing critical decisions.
For multi-part assemblies, custom material sourcing, and projects requiring production-preparation documentation. Includes full engineering review, tolerance analysis, assembly verification, and detailed inspection reports. The right choice when the prototype must validate production intent.
A proven workflow that eliminates guesswork, compresses timelines, and delivers prototypes that perform as intended.
Send us whatever you have — a CAD file, a hand sketch on notebook paper, a photo of an existing part, or simply a written description of what you need. There is no wrong starting point. We accept STEP, STL, 3MF, OBJ, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, PDF, JPG, and plain-text descriptions.
We schedule a call or video meeting to discuss your goals, timeline, budget, and technical requirements. We ask the right questions to understand not just what you want to build, but why — so we can recommend the best approach for your specific application and downstream manufacturing plans.
Within 24 hours of consultation, you receive a detailed CAD model preview and an itemized quote covering design, materials, manufacturing, finishing, and shipping. No hidden fees, no surprises. The quote locks in your price — we do not charge overages unless you request scope changes.
Upon approval, your prototype enters our manufacturing queue with priority scheduling. Whether it is FDM printing, SLA curing, or CNC machining, every part is produced with calibrated equipment, validated process parameters, and in-process quality checks. We photograph progress and send updates so you always know where your project stands.
You receive your prototype, test it in your real-world application, and share feedback. Need changes? Two design revisions are included in every package. We update the CAD model, produce a revised prototype, and repeat until the part performs exactly as required. Iteration is not a setback — it is how great products are built.
Our fastest turnaround is 48 hours for simple FDM or SLA prototypes using in-stock materials. Standard projects with full CAD design and manufacturing typically ship within 5–7 business days. Complex multi-part assemblies with custom materials take 2–3 weeks. We provide a firm delivery date during the quoting phase and stand behind it — honest timelines are a core part of how we do business.
Absolutely. Many prototyping projects start without a CAD file. Send us a hand sketch, a photo, a napkin drawing, a verbal description, or even a competitor’s product you want to improve. We will develop a full 3D model in Fusion 360 or SolidWorks as part of the prototyping package. Design-from-scratch is one of our core strengths — backed by 15 years of CAD experience.
Every prototyping package includes up to 2 design revisions at no additional cost. After testing your prototype, share your feedback and we will update the CAD model and manufacture a revised part. Additional revisions beyond the included two are available at a transparent hourly rate ($85/hr for design time plus material and manufacturing costs). Most projects reach final approval within 1–2 revision cycles.
Pricing depends on complexity, material, technology, and turnaround time. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for every project. To give you a rough idea: most single-part prototypes fall in the $150–$1,200 range, including CAD design, manufacturing, and shipping. Simple FDM parts start around $150. Complex CNC-machined metal assemblies are at the higher end. Rush surcharges apply for 48-hour turnaround. You will always know the exact price before we begin.
Yes, we are happy to sign your NDA before any discussion of your project details. We understand that prototyping clients are often working on patentable inventions, proprietary products, and trade-secret processes. Confidentiality is a fundamental part of how we operate. If you do not have an NDA prepared, we can provide a standard mutual NDA for your review.
