Industrial Design, Engineering & Prototyping for Startups & Individuals
We help innovators turn ideas into real products, from first sketch to working prototype. With 30+ years of design and engineering expertise, FILE2FAB delivers the speed, clarity, and precision needed to launch with confidence.
Let’s talk about your project.Design rooted in experience, driven by innovation.
We are a Los Angeles–based studio specializing in industrial design, engineering, and prototyping. We help startups, individual innovators, and established businesses turn ideas into real, manufacturable products.
How a project works
Not every project needs all five. A replacement part often finishes at step 2.
1. Find out first: a flat-fee review ($295 or $475) or a short feasibility phase tells you whether the idea can work and what it costs, before you spend more.
2. Design and first prototype: we build the computer-aided design (CAD) model, show you renders before anything prints, then hand you a working prototype.
3. Ready to manufacture: we design every part for the process that will make it, fix the weak spots, and build a second prototype closer to production.
4. Samples and quotes: you get finished samples for testing and photos. We find manufacturers, give them a package they can quote from, and go through the quotes with you.
5. Into production: we send drawings, answer the manufacturer’s questions, and check the first production parts against the design.
What you can count on
A fixed price for each phase, agreed before it starts.
Stop after any phase and keep everything you’ve paid for.
You own each phase’s work as soon as you pay for it, native CAD files included.
We quote parts before we buy them. For tooling and production parts, the manufacturer bills you directly.
Dates in writing, and we tell you as soon as one is at risk.
