Overview

We solve problems with creative and cost effective solutions.

E3 brings a business, engineering, technology background and a creative/artistic bent to bear on your project. We apply our experience to every project and we will let you know if we think you are going down the wrong path, even if it costs us business in the short run. 

We know how to do new product development and can help you with your rapid prototyping needs.  We know the ropes and can help you if you need guidance.  We can also help you with the steps beyond prototyping.

IAt E3, we help small and large businesses, architects, doctors, lawyers and other professional services firms, educators, inventors, entrepreneurs, and individuals. We would be glad to collaborate with you.  

Capabilities

Engineering Services

3D Design:

We can take a sketch, model, photos, or an idea and start from there or if you already have something designed on a computer we can import your design and use it as a base to work from.  If you find something online, we can often take it and make the modifications you need. We can also 3d scan a part and use the scan as a starting point.

3D Scanning:

We have in house 3D scanning capabilities and contract with 3rd party service providers depending on the scanning needs.

Digital Fabrication Services

Printing:

We bring to the table internal capabilities in FDM (plastic extrusion) technologies and UV resin technologies.  We supplement our internal printing capabilities with external resources. E3 will strive to find a way to complete your project.

In-house we can print in ABS, PLA, Nylon, and light cured resins. Externally, we can get your project completed in a variety of plastics, metals, and glazed ceramic.

CNC, Laser cutting

With our professional knowledge, we are aware of good providers who can provide CNC, Laser Cutting, and other fabrication services.

Billing and Payment:

Our billing can be retainer, project, or hour based depending on your needs.  

We issue electronic invoices and offer payment terms ranging from Net 0 to Net 30, depending on the project and the client. Clients have found that while we may charge more per hour than some others, our abilities combined with our technical background and years of experience result in better output for less real $ cost and opportunity cost overall.  When you count the cost of your time having to answer many questions or make many corrections to a design because the designer is technically competent on the design tool but has no industry or technical knowledge the savings really add up.

We hope all this convinces you to give us a shot, we would be glad to work with you, and will do our utmost to delight you.
