MDST Design was founded to solve a problem we saw over and over again: great ideas failing because they weren’t designed for manufacturing. We started by fixing broken designs - products that looked good on screen but couldn’t be produced reliably or affordably.
Today, MDST Design is a full-service product development and manufacturing firm built on one core belief: great products are designed for manufacturing from day one.We specialize in transforming early-stage concepts and non-manufacturable designs into production-ready products through rigorous Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
Our work spans medical devices (Class I & II), health & wellness products, and consumer electronics - where reliability, cost control, and scalability matter most.
What sets us apart is our hands-on approach. With an in-house prototyping and low-volume assembly facility, we don’t just design products—we build them, assemble them, and stress-test them in the real world. This allows us to iterate faster, validate assumptions earlier, and de-risk manufacturing before expensive tooling decisions are made.
From concept development and CAD to prototyping, pilot builds, and manufacturing transfer, MDST Design acts as an extension of your team - bridging the gap between idea and scalable production.
We don’t just design products. We design production-ready systems.

Welcome to MDST Design, where innovation meets precision! We are a cutting-edge product development firm and 3D printing company dedicated to bringing your ideas to life in the most creative and efficient ways possible. Not only do we focus on producing eye-catching designs, we cut no corners when it comes to ensuring a product is both functional and manufacturable. With a passion for development and a commitment to excellence, MDST Design is your trusted partner in turning concepts into reality.
We design every product with manufacturing in mind from day one. DFM and DFA guide our decisions on materials, tolerances, assembly methods, and cost - long before tooling or suppliers are involved. This prevents late-stage redesigns, manufacturing pushback, and ensures products scale smoothly into production.
We don’t stop at design reviews. We prototype, assemble, and run low-volume pilot builds in-house to validate fit, tolerances, assembly flow, and cost assumptions. This ensures our DFM/DFA decisions hold up in the real world - before tooling, supplier commitments, or schedule pressure lock in bad decisions.
We actively reduce component count, simplify assemblies, and eliminate unnecessary complexity. The result is faster assembly times, improved reliability, and meaningful cost savings - without compromising performance or user experience.
We deliver clean, manufacturing-ready CAD, drawings, BOMs, and assembly strategies - and when needed, we identify, establish, and manage qualified suppliers through our trusted manufacturing network. This shortens sourcing timelines, improves quote quality, and ensures designs move into production with fewer handoffs and less friction.
We work alongside internal engineers and operations teams- not around them. Our role is to accelerate progress, unblock bottlenecks, and deliver manufacturable solutions that internal teams can confidently own.
At MDST Design, we help teams move from concept to production with confidence. Every project is guided by manufacturing-first principles, validated through hands-on prototyping and pilot builds, and delivered with the documentation suppliers need to execute.
By designing for manufacturability from day one - and proving it through real builds - we reduce risk, shorten timelines, and help teams transition smoothly into production.
Whether you’re refining an existing design or preparing for scale, we act as an extension of your engineering and operations teams to deliver production-ready results.
