Phase One:
Foundation and Launch
Focus: FDM and SLA 3D printing, custom part replacements, basic mechatronics (sensors, actuators, light automation).
Equipment: FDM printers, SLA printer, electronics workbench, small CNC router.
Clients: Individuals with repair needs, small businesses needing custom parts, and startups requiring prototyping.
Goals: Break even in 12–18 months, complete 50+ jobs, establish a strong online presence (Google, Yelp, Instagram).
Phase Two:
Expansion and Compatibility Growth
Focus: Add SLS printing, advanced mechatronics, and reverse engineering with 3D scanning.
Equipment: SLS printer, PCB fabrication tools, high-end CNC machines.
Clients: Mid-sized businesses, manufacturing firms, and medical device startups.
Goals: Hire 1–2 employees, secure B2B contracts (e.g., UT Austin), generate $250,000+ in revenue annually.
Phase Three:
Specialization and Authority
Focus: Custom automated machinery, industrial prototyping, and consulting for product design and repairability.
Equipment: Full metal 3D printer (aluminum/titanium), large CNC machining center.
Clients: Tech firms, aerospace, and medical industries.
Goals: Build a national/international client base, consider opening a second location, reach $500,000+ annual revenue.
