Have an idea that needs to become a working prototype?
About
DaveRig Design is an independent R&D studio focused on practical tools, prototypes, and workflows for modern fabrication.
I’m Dave, a maker, designer, and technical problem-solver with years of experience building production pipelines, automation tools, photogrammetry workflows, 3D models, and systems that make complex creative work easier to produce.
I’m especially interested in the early stage of a project, when an idea is still a sketch, a rough description, or something scribbled on a napkin, and the next step is turning it into a tangible prototype.
That’s where DaveRig Design lives. I use CAD, 3D printing, scanning, laser work, CNC, automation, and AI-assisted workflows to test ideas, solve fabrication problems, and turn rough concepts into usable results. Some projects become physical prototypes. Some become software tools. Some become hands-on product explorations, sponsored builds, or public experiments shared on YouTube.
The common thread is practical experimentation: build it, test it, learn from it, and make it useful.
