How 29Tech helps you build faster, smarter, and with fewer surprises
What it’s like to work with 29Tech
Our role in the path from prototype to production
Prototype manufacturing
We build working prototypes that validate your concept early and often. Our team supports both mechanical and electronic builds from early concept validation to ruggedized test units. Whether you need a one-off appearance model or a functional assembly for real-world testing, we help you move fast without sacrificing quality.
- Rapid prototyping for electronics and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs)
- CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication and appearance models
- Fixture development for one-off or evolving builds
- Custom overmolding and encapsulation for rugged devices
- Fast-turn modifications based on real-world feedback
- Pre-qualification testing to support fit and functional reviews
Design for manufacturing
Before anything hits the line, we assess your design for manufacturability. We review part geometry, fastener access, sealing surfaces and thermal paths to help reduce rework, simplify sourcing and avoid late-stage surprises.
- Design for manufacturing (DFM) review and feedback
- Assembly-aware part updates
- Part count reduction and design simplification
- Component standardization
- Tolerance stack analysis and production tolerance adjustments
- Bill of materials (BOM) alignment with global procurement
- Custom jigs and alignment tools for production builds
- Supplier coordination for manufacturable alternatives
- Evaluation of secondary operations and material efficiency
- Continuous improvements and cost-saving opportunities
Manufacturing quality control
We inspect every product for performance, durability and compliance. Our manufacturing quality control process blends hands-on checks with automated testing to catch issues early and validate every unit before it ships. From in-process inspection to final product validation, we help ensure nothing gets missed.
- Incoming and outgoing part and assembly inspections
- In-process testing and quality control during production
- Final product validation and field-readiness checks
- Corrective action planning and ongoing quality monitoring
- Standards and compliance support
- ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications in progress
Low volume manufacturing and pilot production
We specialize in short-run manufacturing, pilot production and small batch assembly for regulated or rugged devices. Our team handles each step from sourcing to serial labeling to final inspection.
- Smooth transition from prototype to production
- Small batch manufacturing from 5 to 1,000 units
- Manufacturing line setup and build documentation
- Hand-assembled low-volume rugged products
- Serial and part marking for traceability
- Packaging and logistics coordination
Supply chain operations management
We manage procurement and supply chain logistics from end to end so you can stay focused on building. From global part sourcing to vendor negotiations, our process is built for agility, resilience and full visibility.
- Procurement and supply chain management
- Full-service sourcing and vendor coordinationLong-lead and high-risk component planning
- Supply chain risk mitigation strategies
- Global procurement and contract negotiation
- Supplier vetting, selection and liaison support
- Approval process oversight and documentation compliance
- Packaging and labeling compliance
- Long-term supplier relationship development
Logistics and delivery
We coordinate packaging, staging, and shipment so finished builds move from our floor to your warehouse or deployment site without disruption. From just in time drops to staged batch releases, we align delivery with your production plan and fulfillment model.
- Just in time and batch delivery planning
- Inventory staging and controlled release
- Third party logistics coordination
- Protective packaging and labeling
- Shipment tracking tied to warranty and service support
- Align early on connector layout, ruggedization and test plans before production
- Share feedback during pilot builds to guide design updates
- Prototype and test alongside engineering work for faster validation
- Eliminate the risk of context loss between design and manufacturing
