Facility and Equipment
Our 94,000 SF headquarters is located in Fountain, Colorado. This facility houses our rotational lining, rotational molding, additive manufacturing, ISO Class 7 cleanroom, and quality control operations. Our facility consists of four buildings, which are the main manufacturing facility and office, a warehouse, a surface preparation building, and a painting/bake-off oven building. Within these buildings, we have a robust grouping of specialized equipment.

- Six Integra selective laser sintering machines (15″ x 12″ x 18″)
- Two 3-D Systems selective laser sintering machines (15″ x 12″ x 18″)
- Ferry 430 rotational lining oven
- Ferry 640 rotational lining oven
- Ferry 250HD rotational lining oven
- Four Ferry 190, 2200, 2200 & 2600 rotational molding ovens
- Leonardo Smart rotational molding oven
Fabrication
Our welders use the following equipment to perform metal fabrication, hot-gas plastic welding, and fusion welding services:
- Hot gas welder for thermoplastics
- TIG Dynasty 350
- MIG Millermatic 3500

- Four sandblast hoods
- Anneal bath
- Anneal ovens
- Material dryers
Quality
Our quality department uses many methods to uphold customer standards. Some of these tests require equipment such as:
- Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) (1000 mm c 1500 mm x 800 mm)
- Portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (PCMM)
- Instron tensile testing
