InDro Robotics has recently taken over management of InDro Forge, a prototyping and custom fabrication facility located in Ottawa. Formerly known as the Bayview Yards Prototyping Lab, this facility provides a range of services including metal 3D printing, CNC machining, silicone and urethane casting, and more. It is a “one-stop shop” for entrepreneurs and Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) looking to design and fabricate prototypes.
The strategic partnership between InDro Robotics and Invest Ottawa is set to benefit both parties. InDro Robotics will bring its expertise in R&D and engineering to The Forge, while Invest Ottawa will promote the facility and its capabilities to potential clients. Both companies see this partnership as a perfect match.
The facility has already gained a reputation for its work in rapid prototyping. Entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs can bring their ideas to the facility and receive full-fledged industrial designs fabricated in a variety of materials. With InDro Robotics now managing InDro Forge, there will be an opportunity for synergy between the two teams. InDro Forge can draw on the expertise in aerial and ground robotics from InDro Robotics, while InDro Robotics can offer the design and fabrication capabilities of InDro Forge to its clients. Additionally, InDro Forge plans to expand its offerings to include limited production runs and other custom fabrication services.
Outsourcing prototyping and complex design and fabrication to InDro Forge offers clear advantages for startups and SMEs. The facility is equipped with a wide array of additive and subtractive manufacturing capabilities, including CNC machining, silicone and urethane casting, multi-element 3D printing, electronics and Printed Circuit Board fabrication and analysis, and more. The highly skilled InDro Forge team members, with backgrounds in industrial design and engineering, are experts in multiple fabrication processes.
Whether it’s a napkin sketch or an engineering project, InDro Forge is there to help bring ideas to life. From one-off prototypes to full product development, they offer a range of services to cater to different project sizes. InDro Forge aims to provide the expertise and equipment that many startups and SMEs may not have access to.
