How 29Tech helps you build faster, smarter, and with fewer surprises

We specialize in what comes after the concept: manufacturing readiness, rugged product builds and real-world validation. Whether you need prototype manufacturing for a single unit or low volume manufacturing for thousands, we keep your product moving with design for manufacturing, in-house quality control and full supply chain operations management.

Our role in the path from prototype to production

Every product faces complexity, especially in regulated, low-volume or rugged environments. Here’s how we help at each major milestone:

Prototype manufacturing

We build working prototypes that validate your concept early and often. Our team supports both mechanical and electronic builds from early concept validation to ruggedized test units. Whether you need a one-off appearance model or a functional assembly for real-world testing, we help you move fast without sacrificing quality.

  • Rapid prototyping for electronics and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs)
  • CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication and appearance models
  • Fixture development for one-off or evolving builds
  • Custom overmolding and encapsulation for rugged devices
  • Fast-turn modifications based on real-world feedback
  • Pre-qualification testing to support fit and functional reviews

Design for manufacturing

Before anything hits the line, we assess your design for manufacturability. We review part geometry, fastener access, sealing surfaces and thermal paths to help reduce rework, simplify sourcing and avoid late-stage surprises.

  • Design for manufacturing (DFM) review and feedback
  • Assembly-aware part updates
  • Part count reduction and design simplification
  • Component standardization
  • Tolerance stack analysis and production tolerance adjustments
  • Bill of materials (BOM) alignment with global procurement
  • Custom jigs and alignment tools for production builds
  • Supplier coordination for manufacturable alternatives
  • Evaluation of secondary operations and material efficiency
  • Continuous improvements and cost-saving opportunities

Manufacturing quality control

We inspect every product for performance, durability and compliance. Our manufacturing quality control process blends hands-on checks with automated testing to catch issues early and validate every unit before it ships. From in-process inspection to final product validation, we help ensure nothing gets missed.

  • Incoming and outgoing part and assembly inspections
  • In-process testing and quality control during production
  • Final product validation and field-readiness checks
  • Corrective action planning and ongoing quality monitoring
  • Standards and compliance support
  • ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications in progress

Low volume manufacturing and pilot production

We specialize in short-run manufacturing, pilot production and small batch assembly for regulated or rugged devices. Our team handles each step from sourcing to serial labeling to final inspection.

  • Smooth transition from prototype to production
  • Small batch manufacturing from 5 to 1,000 units
  • Manufacturing line setup and build documentation
  • Hand-assembled low-volume rugged products
  • Serial and part marking for traceability
  • Packaging and logistics coordination

Supply chain operations management

We manage procurement and supply chain logistics from end to end so you can stay focused on building. From global part sourcing to vendor negotiations, our process is built for agility, resilience and full visibility.

  • Procurement and supply chain management
  • Full-service sourcing and vendor coordinationLong-lead and high-risk component planning
  • Supply chain risk mitigation strategies
  • Global procurement and contract negotiation
  • Supplier vetting, selection and liaison support
  • Approval process oversight and documentation compliance
  • Packaging and labeling compliance
  • Long-term supplier relationship development

Logistics and delivery

We coordinate packaging, staging, and shipment so finished builds move from our floor to your warehouse or deployment site without disruption. From just in time drops to staged batch releases, we align delivery with your production plan and fulfillment model.

  • Just in time and batch delivery planning
  • Inventory staging and controlled release
  • Third party logistics coordination
  • Protective packaging and labeling
  • Shipment tracking tied to warranty and service support
OUR DESIGN AND ENGINEERING PARTNER
Made to work with 
28 Gorilla Engineering
28 Gorilla is a shared ownership partner and our integrated design and engineering partner. They often lead the early development stages of the products we manufacture, ensuring every design is complete, well-documented and ready for a smooth build. By working together from concept through production, we reduce delays, prevent rework and keep every project moving.
Together, we:
  • Align early on connector layout, ruggedization and test plans before production
  • Share feedback during pilot builds to guide design updates
  • Prototype and test alongside engineering work for faster validation
  • Eliminate the risk of context loss between design and manufacturing
If your product was designed elsewhere, we can still take it forward with your documentation, production-ready drawings, and testing protocols.

Let’s build your next success story.
