Every stage of your product,

developed under one roof.

With our in-house designers, engineers, and machinists working together from day one, issues get fixed in CAD - not discovered in production, so you get your product shipped without compromising your vision, or timeline.

EVERY STAGE OF YOUR PRODUCT,
DEVELOPED UNDER ONE ROOF.

With our in-house designers, engineers, and machinists working together from day one, issues get resolved in CAD - not discovered in production - so you get your product shipped without compromising your vision, or timeline.

Product development teams don’t lack
competence, they lack continuity

 

The Sherpa Approach

Industrial Design

Mechanical Engineering

Electrical & Firmware Engineering

Manufacturing & Prototyping

Testing & Validation

Pre-Production Builds

Support to Production

 

Integrated Development

Design ↔ Engineering ↔ Prototyping ↔ Production

When experts work shoulder-to-shoulder, products become stronger, and get to production sooner.

The Typical Approach

Mechanical Engineering

Electrical & Firmware Engineering

Disconnected Development

Design  |  Engineering  |  Prototyping  |  Production

The hand-off heavy approach creates late-stage changes and expensive delays.

We bolt on to your R&D team to get
your product to production, fast & flawlessly

 

01

Design

Most designs don’t survive contact with reality. It's why we team up designers and engineers from day one to craft the look, feel and function.

02

Engineering

Our engineers are never far from our machinists - so problems that normally surface in production get solved on the bench.

03

Prototyping

In-house Carbon 3D printing and CNC machining means production-grade parts within days, not weeks. This allows us to prototype early, often, and accurately - so you arrive at production with no surprises.

04

Production

We run small-batch builds, write the assembly instructions, support the transition to manufacturers and, if needed, fly there. All so your product gets to market without sacrificing the vision - or the timeline.
