About Maeform Labs
A Maryland-based engineering and prototyping studio founded by mechanical engineers Matthew and Andrew Chesnut.
Bring us a problemWhy Maeform
Maeform Labs was started to help close the distance between an idea and a working result. Building what you can imagine can be difficult: requirements are incomplete, manufacturing choices matter, and the first version rarely answers every question.
We create a practical path through that uncertainty—from design and engineering to prototypes, testing, and refinement. Project scoping, design review, and delivery stay close to the people doing the work.
The founders
Matthew and Andrew lead Maeform together, combining robotics, product design, prototyping, and manufacturing experience.

Capabilities
Maeform can support an idea across design, fabrication, and the digital tools around it.
Mechanical design, robotics, mechanisms, CAD, and prototype development.
3D printing and resin processes for fit checks, functional prototypes, and finished parts.
CNC and related subtractive processes for durable, precise components.
Software development and tailored LLM-based tools that support the product or workflow.
Access to the people doing the work.
Scope and payment milestones before fabrication begins.
Decisions tied to function and manufacturability.
Physical testing used to reduce uncertainty.
