(Who We Are)

Built on the principles of Manufacturing & Assembly, MDST Design is a full-service Product Development and Manufacturing firm specializing in turning product ideas into real, robust, manufacturable solutions with a focus on performance, cost-efficiency, and production-readiness.

(Services)

Concept Development

Our Concept Development process bridges creativity with manufacturability from the very first sketch. We explore big ideas while factoring in real-world constraints. From injection molding to CNC to everything in between, so your concept isn’t just visionary, it’s buildable. The result? Smarter designs, faster launches, less costs, fewer headaches.

Concept Development

Engineering

Our Engineering services focus on turning concepts into precise, production-ready designs. We optimize every detail for function, durability, and manufacturability while using DFM principles to reduce cost and complexity. From CAD to testing, we engineer with the end in mind.

Engineering

Rapid Prototyping

Our Rapid Prototyping services use state-of-the-art equipment to produce high-fidelity parts with production-level tolerances. We don’t just prototype for looks. We build to test fit, function, and manufacturability under real-world conditions. It's how we validate designs faster and smarter. We’re committed to removing the unknown variables from your design.

Rapid Prototyping

Low Volume Production

Our Low Volume Production services bridge the gap between prototype and full-scale manufacturing. We establish a reliable supply chain, source critical components, and assemble saleable products in-house to refine Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM + DFA) all while controlling quality and launch readiness. This hands-on phase lets us identify and resolve design bugs early, so you transfer a proven, production-ready product with confidence.

Low Volume Production

Projects

Morphus

Morphus

Morphus came to us with therapy goggles that were costly, over-engineered, and not manufacturable at scale. Through DFM/DFA-driven redesign, we reduced part count, simplified assembly, and cut production costs - transforming the product into a scalable, injection-moldable system.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING AND SCALABILITY CONTRACT MANUFACTURING

America Cryo

America Cryo

America Cryo partnered with MDST to engineer a thermoelectric cooling system designed for performance and manufacturability. We applied DFM/DFA principles to optimize components, streamline assembly, and reduce system cost while maintaining clinical-grade performance.

Testimonials

MDST Design was very easy to work with, quickly understood my project, iterated on the design, and provided support throughout the design process. His ability to take my rough sketches, create detailed models, and produce mock ups with 3D printing truly allowed us to move quickly and begin production on our product. I have several other projects in the hopper and will be using MDST wherever possible!

Matt McDonald

NovelRig

Great communication. Fast turnaround. Quality work. Was able to 3D print parts for verification which greatly aided in our product development iteration cycles. Overall, MDST was great to work with will definitely hire him again for engineering + CAD work.
