When Island Health needed a better clip for their medical pagers, we designed, prototyped, and field-tested multiple versions before scaling to production. They now save over $10,000 annually. See how teams use 3D printing to iterate fast and validate ideas before committing to expensive tooling.
Island Health manages over 1,000 Vocera medical pagers, and the small plastic clips on each battery pack kept breaking. A failed clip meant replacing the entire battery unit, costing taxpayers over $10,000 each year and sending functional batteries to the landfill.
We worked with Island Health's team to analyze the original clip's weak points and design a stronger alternative. A pilot run of prototypes was produced and field-tested by staff. After confirming fit and durability, we moved to full-scale production.
The custom clips are now in use across a long-term-care site, rescuing hundreds of batteries from the landfill. A five-figure annual expense became a minor, sustainable repair. Island Health reduced costs, minimized e-waste, and extended the lifespan of their devices.
From cycling components to event signage, see how we help teams bring ideas to life.
A competitive cyclist needed custom handlebar mounts with exact specifications. We printed multiple prototype iterations in carbon-fiber nylon for real-world testing, then machined the final part in aluminum.

| Traditional Manufacturing | Morin 3D |
|---|---|
| Weeks or months to get first prototype | ✓ Prototypes in days |
| Expensive tooling before testing | ✓ Test before you commit |
| Design changes mean starting over | ✓ Iterate same-day |
| High minimums for production runs | ✓ Order 1 or 1,000 |
| Different vendor for each stage | ✓ One partner from prototype to production |
| Complex geometries require compromises | ✓ Build exactly what you design |
Real projects from prototype through production.
From first conversation to final production—we're with you every step of the way.
We learn what you're trying to solve, not just what you want to print.
Bring us a sketch, a CAD file, or a broken part to reverse engineer.
First prototypes within days, not weeks.
Real-world testing, then refine the design.
Once validated, produce as many as you need.
Don't have a CAD file yet? We can help turn your sketch, photo, or broken part into a print-ready design.
Send us a sketch, a CAD file, or just describe what you're trying to build. We'll figure out the best approach and give you a quote within hours.
