Founded in 1995, independently owned Neomek turns product concepts into physical parts through design, engineering, 3D scanning, rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing. Its unusual strength is an in-house workflow that moves from scanning and reverse engineering to realistic prototypes and urethane-cast parts under one roof, serving companies across North America. The company operates from locations in the Chicago area, Pittsburgh and New York.
Prototek Digital ManufacturingFounded in 1987, Prototek Digital Manufacturing turns digital designs into prototypes and production parts, supporting the full product lifecycle through digital manufacturing facilities across the United States. With roughly 300 employees, the company handles mid- to high-complexity components in metals and polymers for customers ranging from startups to S&P 500 companies, including work inherited through the integration of ProtoCAM.

MakelabFounded in 2017, Makelab is a Brooklyn-based 3D printing manufacturer that turns CAD files into prototypes, production parts, and large-format models. Its New York factory produces more than 5,000 parts a week, with engineers reviewing files before production and technicians performing three-point quality checks on every part. Makelab is particularly geared toward teams that need to move from design validation to low-volume or bridge production without waiting for tooling.BROOKLYN, NY
protoCAD CorpFounded in 1993 by former Navy engineers Ron Minor and Brian Edwards, La Plata-based protoCAD turns product ideas into engineered designs, 3D-printed parts, and urethane castings. The co-owners’ early experience using 3D printing to design an ejection-seat rocket motor nozzle still informs the company’s work with inventors, manufacturers, and government customers nationwide. protoCAD is a small-business, ITAR-registered operation whose all-U.S.-citizen engineering team also supports complex government prototyping and fabrication projects.LA PLATA, MD
Grove Mechanical Solutions IncGrove Mechanical Solutions Inc. turns mechanical ideas into SolidWorks designs, 3D models, and printed prototypes from its Pittsburgh operation. The company brings more than 25 years of mechanical design and drafting experience, including over a decade with SolidWorks as a Certified Professional, to projects ranging from complex assemblies to new tools and devices. Its work also includes converting existing 2D files into usable 3D models and producing PLA parts through fused-filament fabrication.PITTSBURGH, PA
