At FUEL®, we work with teams who are serious about turning an ambitious idea into a reliable product. Our engineering, design, and manufacturing capabilities will move you from concept to production with confidence.
FUEL exists to get bold ideas built. We see a project through every stage, from engineering and design to prototyping and manufacturing, keeping the work clear and disciplined the whole way through. Our job is to take an early prototype or technical concept and build a product that can be manufactured, certified, and trusted in the field. We’ve worked on everything from mobility and biomedical devices to precision scientific instruments and production-ready electronics.
We believe in building genuine relationships with every client. When you bring us a project, it gets the full attention of our team. We stay closely involved from the first idea to the final build and make sure the work moves forward with clarity and care.
“FUEL helped us from the ground up to create our dynamic knee positioner for surgical training, honing in on what was really needed, and focusing on design for manufacture. Designing with John is very interactive and collaborative.”
Dr. Carolyn Anglin
Co-Founder, Tactile Orthopaedics Inc.
Medical devices that support stroke prevention. Solar installation tools that change how crews work on rooftops. Water quality instruments that monitor the environment. Since 2018, we’ve partnered with 50+ clients to deliver 200+ projects and products built to work when and where it matters.
Our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to local startups. Whether you’re a multinational moving faster on innovation or a founder bringing a first product to market, we have the experience and partnerships to help you deliver.
FUEL's portable manual hoist system designed to safely and easily lift solar panels and equipment up residential rooftops via standard extension ladders. The complete lifting solution features a unique auto-locking pulley system and optional CarryALL attachment for transporting racking, inverters, and tools.
FUEL collaborated with Tactile Orthopaedics on the development and early manufacturing of dynamic joint positioners which are used for surgical training without the use of cadavers. Tactile currently offers knee positioners as well as shoulder positioners as part of their surgical training platforms.
Dr. Aravind Ganesh, a vascular and cognitive neurologist at the University of Calgary, is advancing the use of Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) for the treatment and prevention of neurological disease. FUEL is collaborating with Dr. Ganesh on the design and development of a novel RIC system to support this work, building on his research leadership in the field, including his first-author commentary on RIC for stroke prevention published in The Lancet Neurology.
XLEG is the best crutch alternative for staying mobile while you heal. FUEL played a key role developing the current device through mechanical and textile design, and building manufacturing capacity for Robinson Exotech Corp.
Most product ideas stall in the handoffs between engineering, design, and manufacturing. We keep every stage in-house, so the work never loses momentum.
We start with your idea, constraints, and what success looks like, then turn it into a clear technical plan and a roadmap to production.
Mechanical and electrical engineering, software, and industrial design work side by side to turn the concept into a manufacturable, certifiable product.
We build, test, and refine real prototypes, proving the design works and is ready for clinical trials, certification, and the field.
From procurement through assembly, quality testing, and shipping, we build the capacity to bring your product to market at scale.
