What we make

Four processes, one engineering team, from first prototype to small production runs.

CNC machining

3-, 4- and 5-axis milling and turning in metals and engineering plastics.

Advanced 3D printing

SLA and SLS parts for fit checks, functional testing and end-use prototypes.

Urethane casting

Silicone-mold casting for 10 to 50 production-like parts with a range of durometers.

Rapid tooling

Soft and bridge tooling that gets you to injection-molded parts sooner.

Materials

We machine and print in the materials hardware teams actually ship in.

  • Aluminum 6061 / 7075
  • Titanium Ti-6Al-4V
  • Stainless steel 304 / 316
  • Tool steel

How we work

Every project is quoted by an engineer, not a calculator. Here is what happens after you submit.

  1. 1

    Submit design and NDA

    Send CAD files and requirements. Sign an NDA first if you need one.

  2. 2

    DFM review

    An engineer checks manufacturability, tolerances and material fit.

  3. 3

    Bespoke fabrication

    Your parts are produced in-house on the process we agreed.

  4. 4

    Quality assurance

    Parts are inspected against your drawing before they ship.

  5. 5

    Delivery

    Packed, documented and sent with an inspection report on request.

Selected work

Example project summaries showing the kind of problems we solve.

Aerospace bracket, titanium CNC

Challenge: reduce mass without losing stiffness. Solution: topology-optimized geometry machined in Ti-6Al-4V, held to ±0.02 mm.

Sensor housing, SLS nylon

Challenge: five design iterations in two weeks. Solution: overnight SLS builds and a vapor-smoothed finish.

Handheld enclosure, urethane cast

Challenge: 25 units for field trials. Solution: silicone mold and cast units matching ABS-like properties.

The Meridian standard

We verify parts against your drawing before they leave the building.

Tolerances

Precision machining to ±0.02 mm where the drawing calls for it.

Inspection

Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) checks on critical features.

Documented process

Quality-controlled workflow with material certificates and inspection reports on request.

Why Meridian Craft Labs

Dedicated engineering support

One engineer follows your project from DFM review to delivery.

Fast iteration turnarounds

Short cycles between design revisions so you can test sooner.

Strict IP protection

NDAs before file transfer and restricted internal access to your designs.

“The DFM notes caught a thin wall we had missed for two revisions. Parts arrived on the drawing.”

Sample quote: Lead Mechanical Engineer

“Clear communication on tolerances and lead time, which is rare for prototype shops.”
