Design & engineering
Turn a rough problem, sketch, or reference into clear requirements, CAD, and build-ready decisions.
Small-batch engineering studio
Rough idea.Real object.
We design, engineer, and prototype practical one-off parts and small-run products—without the overhead of a giant firm.

What we do
The missing middle between sketch and production.
Bring us a napkin drawing, a broken part, or a stubborn problem. We’ll find the simplest responsible path to something you can hold, test, and improve.
CONCEPT · CAD · DRAWINGS
Rapid prototyping
Create physical models that answer the right questions about fit, function, and feel.
Small-batch support
Refine the design and prepare a repeatable path for a handful—or a short run—of finished pieces.
Good project fit
Small enough to move fast. Serious enough to engineer.
Maeform is built for focused, practical projects—not mass production, architecture, or safety-critical certification work.
- You need one prototype or a small quantity
- The object fits on a desk, bench, or in a garage
- You can explain the problem, even if you cannot draw the solution
- You value a simple, buildable answer over unnecessary complexity
60-second fit check
Does this sound like us?
Likely a fit.A focused prototype or small run is right in Maeform’s wheelhouse.
How it works
Four clear steps. No black-box handoff.
Frame it
Define what success means and what can change.
Design it
Develop the simplest concept that meets the constraints.
Make it
Source, fabricate, assemble, or coordinate the right process.
Prove it
Test the result, document what matters, and refine.
Project territory
The odd jobs that deserve a well-made answer.
These are example categories—not a product catalog. Every engagement starts with the specific problem in front of us.
A fixture that holds the awkward part exactly where it needs to be.
Jigs, alignment aids, drilling templates, brackets, tool organizers, and inspection fixtures.
An enclosure that fits everything—and feels intentional.
Electronics housings, control panels, mounts, guards, and custom interfaces.
The discontinued piece that keeps a useful thing working.
Reverse-engineered knobs, covers, adapters, spacers, latches, and mechanical links.
A credible first version for the idea you keep coming back to.
Proofs of concept, appearance models, functional mechanisms, and test articles.
