Founded by designer and roboticist Michael Bonakdar, ARCHMEK is a New York company built around keeping design decisions close to the machines that make the finished part. It works with clients ranging from concept-stage teams to customers who already have production-ready files, carrying projects through in-house fabrication without the usual handoff between designer and shop.
