UAV

MiPS works with drone innovators to prototype airframe components, sensor arrays, aerodynamic housings, and custom bench test fixtures using lightweight, high-strength materials. Rapid prototyping lets drone engineers test multiple design iterations in a single development cycle, validate fit for sensors and payloads before committing to final builds, and produce low-volume specialty parts that would be impractical to tool for traditional manufacturing.

Chemical Industry

MiPS supports chemical industry partners with rapid prototyping using chemical-resistant and specialty engineering-grade materials, enabling teams to test custom fittings, flow components, containment fixtures, and process equipment mockups before investing in full-scale manufacturing. Fast iteration means process engineers can validate a design change in the lab, reducing downtime and de-risking costly process modifications.

Automation

MiPS supports automation innovators with rapid prototyping for mechanical components, housings, and system fixtures that need to be tested and refined quickly as new delivery concepts evolve. 3D printing gives logistics engineers the ability to prototype custom mechanisms, validate tolerances for moving parts, and adapt designs on the fly as real-world testing reveals what needs to change.

Trade Shows

MiPS supports trade show and marketing teams with rapid prototyping for display models, product mockups, custom signage elements, and interactive demo pieces that bring a booth to life. 3D printing makes it possible to produce eye-catching, durable showpieces in a fraction of the lead time of traditional fabrication, iterate on design right up until the show date, and create one-of-a-kind pieces that help a booth stand out on the floor.

Semiconductor Industry

MiPS supports semiconductor industry partners with rapid prototyping that keeps pace with tight process windows and demanding material requirements. From wafer handling fixtures and chemical-resistant tooling to custom jigs for equipment maintenance, 3D printing lets engineering teams iterate on fixture designs quickly, test fit and function before committing to production tooling, and produce low-volume, highly specific components that would be cost-prohibitive to machine or mold traditionally.
