Professional Prototyping Short-Run Engineering

In-House Prototype Stack

Aegidis operates an in-house professional prototyping stack built around CNC routing and light machining, enclosed FDM printing, high-resolution resin printing, and device assembly. The goal is fast physical iteration for engineering prototypes, fixtures, housings, evaluation parts, and short-run hardware — not high-volume commodity production.

In-House Equipment Stack
Professional prototyping • short-run engineering

CNC Routing & Light Machining

Large-format Onefinity Elite Foreman Gen 2 CNC setup with full steel stand, HMI, and 4th rotary axis for prototype panels, fixtures, enclosures, brackets, jigs, molds, and indexed or rotary work.

CNC routing • light machining • 4th axis • fixtures • enclosures

Large-Format Enclosed FDM

Creality K2 Plus enclosed CoreXY FDM system for functional prototypes, housings, brackets, fixtures, fit checks, and engineering thermoplastic iteration where size and speed matter.

Enclosed FDM • functional prototypes • ruggedized housings

High-Resolution Resin Prototyping

Anycubic Photon P1 resin system for fine-detail prototype components, small enclosures, presentation parts, miniature-scale geometry, fit checks, and surface-finish-sensitive evaluation pieces.

14K resin • fine detail • small components • presentation parts

Device Assembly & Iteration

Additive, subtractive, and bench assembly workflows support quick iteration from CAD to physical test article — especially for NFC hardware, small enclosures, fixtures, and ruggedized proof-of-concept builds.

CAD → fabricate → assemble → test → revise

CNC Routing + Rotary Work

Useful for flat stock, panels, fixtures, jigs, molds, and indexed/rotary prototype features where subtractive work is the better process.

Additive Detail + Functional Form

Resin and enclosed FDM cover both fine-detail presentation parts and larger functional prototypes, enclosures, brackets, and fit-check hardware.

Core Processes
Additive, subtractive, and assembly workflows

High-Strength FDM

Useful for fixtures, brackets, housings, adapters, fit checks, and practical hardware iteration where toughness and geometry validation matter more than cosmetic finish.

High-Resolution Resin

Better for precision features, fine geometry, presentation pieces, miniature-scale components, and evaluation parts where surface finish and detail are important.

CNC Routing & Light Machining

For prototype panels, fixture plates, brackets, jigs, molds, enclosures, and rotary/indexed work where additive processes are not the right final geometry or material.

PCB & Device Assembly

Integrated bench assembly of custom electronics, NFC substrates, sensor modules, and secure access hardware into prototype and short-run protective enclosures.

Best Fit
Where the shop adds value

Good Fit

  • Prototype enclosures, brackets, jigs, fixtures, and adapter plates.
  • Small-batch CNC work where iteration speed matters.
  • Resin parts requiring fine detail or presentation-quality geometry.
  • FDM parts for functional fit checks and ruggedized design iteration.
  • Prototype device assemblies involving NFC, sensors, or embedded hardware.

Not a Fit

  • High-volume production runs requiring industrial-scale throughput.
  • Certified aerospace, medical, or load-bearing parts without external qualification.
  • Unscoped jobs with no CAD, dimensions, material expectations, or use case.
  • Controlled technical data submitted through public intake forms.

Quote and Scope

Buyers provide part geometry, drawings, materials, tolerance targets, quantity, environmental constraints, and target timelines to determine the right process and lead time.

Process Selection

Match the job to FDM, resin, CNC routing/light machining, or device assembly based on function, finish, strength, geometry, and production intent.

Short-Run Delivery

Move from concept to physical iteration without pushing the work into a large vendor queue designed for high-volume production.

Manufacturing and prototyping engagements are accepted based on process readiness, complexity, final geometry, material expectations, and current queue.
Quote Inputs Needed
Scope faster with concrete inputs

Design Files

  • STEP, STL, DXF, or drawings when available.
  • Revision level and whether the file is prototype, pre-production, or final geometry.
  • Any keep-out zones, assembly interfaces, or mating-part requirements.

Performance Context

  • Material preference or operating environment.
  • Fit, finish, tolerance, and durability expectations.
  • Quantity, deadline, and whether the part is for visual review, fit check, or functional testing.
