About RapidMade
We founded RapidMade in 2011 to provide our customers with innovative solutions for developing, manufacturing and marketing their products. Whether you are just getting started with a new product or looking to improve an existing one, we can help. RapidMade offers full-spectrum engineering and manufacturing services for everything from prototyping and market research to replacement parts and finishing.
The modern economic landscape places ever-increasing demands on businesses large and small, requiring more products, faster and at lower operating costs than ever before. We are passionate about helping our clients meet these new challenges by applying the most effective combination of digital and traditional technologies for each project that comes to us.
We are equally committed to the growing the field of additive manufacturing and 3D digital design—re-shoring manufacturing in the Pacific Northwest, creating more sustainable production models and educating a new generation of professionals. In 2017, we further invested in our 3D printing capabilities and moved to a new facility, allowing us to take on even more large-scale projects.
Your business is unique—your manufacturing should be, too. At RapidMade, we are determined to deliver the best, most cost effective solutions, custom-tailored to your needs.
