What We Do

Prototype Engineering

Miscellaneous Makers Mansion offers end-to-end prototype development β€” from initial concept design through CAD modeling, 3D printing, and functional testing. We work with students, entrepreneurs, inventors, and businesses at any stage of the development process.

Every prototype we build supports our nonprofit mission: the proceeds help fund STEM education and student maker programs right here in Columbus, Ohio.
