CUSTOM PROTOTYPING / MDCI AV
We design, build and validate functional prototypes that combine electronics, custom circuit boards, embedded software, mechanical components and purpose-built enclosures.
Schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout and functional bench assembly.
FROM NAPKIN SKETCH TO WORKING SYSTEM
A successful prototype is more than a printed housing or a breadboard. MDCI AV brings mechanical, electrical and software development together so each part of the system is designed to work with the others from the start.
Custom printed circuit boards designed around your exact functional, spatial and connectivity requirements.
Rapidly produced housings, brackets, fixtures and mechanical components built for fit, function and presentation.
Purpose-built electronic systems that connect sensors, controls, displays, lighting, audio and networked devices.
Firmware that makes the physical system responsive, reliable and ready to communicate with larger applications.
Structured testing that exposes weak points early and verifies the prototype under realistic operating conditions.
Mechanical development beyond 3D printing for prototypes that need stronger, larger or more permanent structures.
Bring separate technologies together into one coordinated prototype with clean power, communication and control.
Refine a successful prototype into documentation and specifications that support repeatable fabrication.
Clarify the objective, users, environment, constraints, target cost and definition of success.
Select core technologies and map how electronics, mechanical parts, firmware and interfaces work together.
Fabricate boards, print housings, wire assemblies, program firmware and integrate the first complete system.
Measure performance, identify failure points and test the design in conditions that reflect actual use.
Reduce complexity, improve reliability, refine fit and finish, and resolve issues discovered during testing.
Deliver the prototype, source files, BOM, documentation and a clear path toward a pilot or production build.
BUILT FOR THE UNUSUAL
We are a strong fit when an off-the-shelf product gets close—but cannot meet the exact functional, physical or experiential requirements of the project.
Buttons, sensors, displays, sound, lights and physical controls combined into responsive experiences.
Custom control hardware for exhibits, automation, demonstrations, games and unique equipment.
Networked devices using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, LoRa, serial or custom communication workflows.
Functional prototypes used to validate feasibility, demonstrate an idea or support funding and stakeholder review.
Modern electronics and interfaces integrated into existing mechanical systems or legacy installations.
Small production runs for specialized applications where mass-market manufacturing does not make sense.
Depending on the project stage, MDCI AV can provide a complete development package that supports future maintenance, refinement and production.
START WITH THE PROBLEM. WE WILL HELP DEFINE THE BUILD.
