Build to Print Plus: Optimized manufacturing solutions.

At Applied Engineering, "Build to Print Plus" means more than following a drawing—it means delivering precision, quality, and strategic support from early concept through full-scale production. Whether you’re developing a complex new product or refining a mature design, we provide the engineering, manufacturing, and operational expertise to move your build forward with confidence.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM)

Our engineers work alongside yours to improve part design, simplify assembly, and reduce risk. DFM reviews catch costly issues early and pave the way for smoother builds.

New Product Introduction (NPI)

Applied Engineering has a dedicated NPI process designed for rapid learning and efficient scale-up. We support pilot runs, process development, documentation, and early-stage validations to help you launch with speed and confidence.

Prototype to Production

We specialize in bridging the gap between early-stage prototypes and full production. From hand-built engineering units to scalable manufacturing lines, we help you move quickly without sacrificing control. Our team ensures design intent is preserved while optimizing for repeatability, cost, and throughput.

Testing & Inspection Capabilities

We back every build with robust quality assurance, including:

  • Functional and in-circuit testing

  • Dimensional inspection (CMMs, manual, and visual)

  • Cleanliness verification for cleanroom builds

Supply Chain Strength & Flexibility

As detailed in our blog, "Mitigating Risk – Domestic & International Supply Chain Strengthening U.S. Manufacturing,", we’ve built a resilient, hybrid supply chain that balances global reach with local responsiveness—so you’re protected from market volatility and sourcing disruptions.

  • Global Reach, Local Control
    Our international partners allow for cost-effective sourcing and high-volume capability, while our local team ensures quality, traceability, and responsiveness.

  • Proactive Risk Mitigation
    From long-lead forecasting to inventory management and supplier audits, we take an active role in protecting your schedule and product quality.

Cleanroom Assembly

We maintain Class 10,000 (ISO 7) and Class 1,000 (ISO 6) cleanroom environments for ultra-clean manufacturing. These are ideal for medical devices, semiconductor systems, and precision clean tech applications where particle control is essential.

Specialized Craftsmanship

Applied Engineering is one of the only companies in the Bay Area that still hand-winds coils in-house. This rare capability supports highly specialized assemblies, legacy components, and products that require a human touch and deep technical understanding.

Volume Flexibility & Scalability

We support low- to mid-volume, high-mix production and grow with you. Whether it’s a handful of test units or a thousand-piece build, we adapt to your production needs with speed and accuracy.
