Fusion 360 model of a 3D-printable flight simulator light controller enclosure with the circuit board mounted inside

Fig. 01 · Design & prototype

A flight-sim light controller, boxed properly

A hobbyist building a flight simulator wanted a custom lighting controller. We modeled it in Fusion 360 around the board, which we also designed: standoffs, connector cutouts, snap-fit lid. Printed, test-fit, and they own the files.

Stacks of boxed product units after local assembly and quality control at Shibui Tech

Thousands of units, assembled and checked in town

The customer designed the product; we run the line. Assembly, inspection, and boxing of a several-thousand-unit run, every one handled and checked by a person in Bloomington before it ships.

Fiber laser engraving Miranda rights text onto a black metal card

A thousand Miranda cards, prepared for duty

A thousand-piece order of metal Miranda cards for police use. A printed registration jig keeps every blank in the same spot, so the fiber laser marks card one and card one thousand identically.

3D-printed modular cup holder prototype parts with threaded fastener and mounting bracket on a cutting mat

Fig. 04 · Customer prototype

A modular cup holder, from want to working parts

A customer wanted a cup holder that could move between mounts, and fit oddly sized desks. We designed the modular system in Fusion 360, printed the cup, bracket, and threaded hardware, and iterated until it clicked together the way they imagined.
