We picked up a big 3’ x 4’ rotocasting machine. No more spinning heavy molds by hand! #rotocast #rotocasting #fabrication #moldmaking #moldmakingandcasting #nomoresoreupperbody https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_NHhWD8rn/?igshid=ryij1e0qpu0w

In the last week we have teamed up with @protohaven, @ppeconnectpgh and others partners to produce face shields for those in need. We are happy to use our capabilities to chip in! https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7QAbmjrrn/?igshid=1ktubobqmz7vi

As a Pittsburgh based company, we are big fans of Mr. Rodgers. Which is why we were thrilled to be asked to build a working trolley for the movie “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”. We also built the brass trolley tracks and the Land of Make Believe miniatures. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BqQNgjGdM/?igshid=wyb5kpzd6bfq

It’s not every day you get a chance to work on a project with innovative tech and a super fun concept! Which is why we jumped at the chance to help our friends at @deeplocal design and build the #rickflector pods for @adultswim at this years San Diego Comic-Con. #rickandmorty #adultswim #sdcc https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ZF120juIV/?igshid=1xqp24prkrn08

We had to add another 1,000sqft and get creative on the load in but our new @shopsabre IS408 has landed! #is408 #cnc #cncrouter #digitalfabrication https://www.instagram.com/visionaryeffects/p/Bt1PTVVlfMC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7q0nwtcimt12

If you attended CES last week then you may have met the interactive animatronic grandma we built for Google’s booth. Grandma helped entertain people while they waited in line for the incredible Google assistant ride. Special thanks to @deeplocal for letting us be a part of this awesome project! #heygoogle #googleassistant #animatronic #animatronics #googlegrandma https://www.instagram.com/p/BsnucvflKbj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sd0glcg6llnz
