Our Engineering, Prototyping and Production Process

The Technology House team member working on CAD designs

We can assist in modifying existing products and reviewing your files for optimization through various tools. CAD designs are done in Solidworks, Creo (Pro Engineer) or our new nTopology software, which specializes in design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) with latticing and other features.

Prototype

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing manufacturing processes, are used to verify the part design and to make models using Carbon DLS, stereolithography (SLA), fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), HP multi jet fusion, Polyjet, or direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technologies.

Production

For bridge and low-volume production, we’ll use additive manufacturing processes and RTV cast urethane molding. For higher-volume production, we’ll use CNC Machining, EDM machining, and injection molding.

What Our Partners Are Saying

In this competitive world with ever-changing technology, we need innovation partners that we can trust. Working with the team at The Technology House over the past five years, I have grown to rely on their ability to deliver unique results and thus instruct my development teams to call them first. They constantly drive state-of-the-art solutions that exceed the expectations of our Medical Device Customers, delivering them at a great value!

- Brian W., General Manager, Medical Device Manufacturer

Most of my 30 year career has been spent finding vendors that meet my Cost, Service, and Quality requirements. The number of suppliers that can meet those criteria for a sustainable period of time are few. TTH is one of those companies. The management team at TTH is always willing to work with us to improve efficiency and offer solutions that exceed our expectations. If you are looking for a partner, not just a supplier, the team at TTH will not disappoint.

Engineer Without Restriction

See how we partnered with Vitamix and Carbon to redefine what's possible. We took a legacy, six-piece, injection-molded part design and turned it into a new, one-piece, 3D-printed part.

Our experts have a proven history of providing innovative solutions at every stage of product development—from product concept through production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What steps are involved in TTH’s custom manufacturing process?
A: The Technology House (TTH) follows a structured custom manufacturing process that begins with digital product development and design review, moves into prototyping using additive and traditional methods, and transitions into precision manufacturing and finishing. This systematic approach ensures that parts are engineered, validated, and produced to meet performance, quality, and cost targets.

Q2: How does TTH use additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping in the process?
A: TTH integrates additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping early in the process to accelerate design validation and reduce development time. By producing functional prototypes with technologies like HP Multi Jet Fusion, and SLA, TTH helps customers assess fit, form, and function before full‑scale manufacturing, minimizing costly revisions later.

Q3: What support does TTH provide for transforming a prototype into a manufactured product?
A: TTH supports the entire lifecycle from prototype to production by offering engineering support, design for manufacturing guidance, material selection, precision machining, and finishing services. Their process ensures that once a prototype is validated, it can be efficiently transitioned into production with consistent quality and performance.
