Product Development
Designed Right…
From the Start
Engineering teams with great ideas deserve partners who deliver precision, speed, and transparency — not surprises, delays, or hidden costs
29 Years of mechanical design excellence
Limited Time, Talent, or Bandwidth?
We get it. Your team’s juggling deadlines, budgets, and design changes that never seem to let up. But when internal bandwidth runs thin, bringing in external support can feel like a gamble. Too many vendors promise reliability, then miss deadlines, blow budgets, or hand off files that don’t integrate with your systems.
You’re under pressure to deliver, despite these challenges:
- Limited or no bandwidth and tight timelines
- Gaps in specialized design expertise
- Hidden costs and unclear communication
- Delays from vendors who don’t deliver as promised
You shouldn’t have to choose between speed, quality, and trust…
You deserve all three.
We’ve Been in Your Shoes.
That’s Why We Built C2S Differently…
For nearly 30 years, we’ve helped companies bring ideas to life — from CAD models and mechanical assemblies to functional prototypes and production-ready fixtures.
We can combine engineering precision with hands-on craftsmanship, so every design moves seamlessly from concept to production. And because we’re a small, owner-led shop, you partner with a team personally invested in every outcome.
No layers. No guesswork. Just open communication, reliable timelines, and honest pricing on the services we provide.
Product Development Consulting
Bring us in early to refine concepts and requirements.
Mechanical Design
Detailed 3D modeling, assemblies, and drawings built for production.
Design for Manufacturability
Design that anticipates production constraints and efficiency.
Rapid Prototyping & Fabrication
Functional prototypes that validate form, fit, and function.
Reverse Engineering
Recreate or improve existing parts and assemblies with exact digital models.
Production Tooling & Fixtures
Custom jigs, fixtures, and tooling that streamline manufacturing.
Validation Engineering
Evaluate designs for durability, reliability, user performance, and cost of manufacturing.
A Simple Process,
Engineered for Success:
Connect With Us
We’ll review your goals, challenges, and requirements to understand exactly what success looks like.
Design With Confidence
Collaborate on drawings, CAD models, and physical prototypes…all with clear communication, timelines, and deliverables.
Launch With Precision
Refine, finalize, and scale your project — ensuring everything performs the way it should, the first time.
Flexible Engagement
Designed for Your Workflow
Every team operates differently. That’s why we offer two engagement models designed to fit your needs…not force you into ours. Whether it’s a single project or a long-term partnership, we adapt to your workflow — giving you the flexibility, transparency, and results you need to keep projects moving.
Option 1
Project-Based Engagements
Best for specific design, prototype, or production challenges. We define the scope, agree on clear deliverables, and move fast to get you from idea to outcome with predictable pricing and dependable timelines.
- One-off product development consulting, designs, or redesigns
- Rapid prototyping to validate form, fit, and function
- Short-term overflow or bandwidth support during peak workloads
- Engineering assistance for urgent production issues or design fixes
- Specialized mechanical design – For things outside your comfort zone
Option 2
Dedicated Design Partnerships
Ideal for teams that need consistent design and prototyping bandwidth without adding headcount. Youʼll have guaranteed design hours, priority scheduling, and a dedicated team that knows your systems and products inside and out.
- Companies with continuous mechanical design and prototype needs
- Engineering teams managing multiple concurrent product lines
- Long-term development programs requiring sustained design support
- Engineering assistance for urgent production issues or design fixes
- Specialized mechanical design – For things outside your comfort zone
Don’t Let Rework & Delays Put Your Reputation on the Line
When outsourcing goes wrong, it costs more than money… it costs trust. Missed deadlines, redesigns, and spotty communication leave your team scrambling to fix problems that should never have existed in the first place. We believe you deserve a partner who makes your life easier, not more stressful. With C2S, you’ll never be left wondering where things stand or what they’ll cost.
Build Better Products Faster…
with Confidence
Engineering Precision That Performs
Designs engineered for manufacturability, accuracy, and performance — built right the first time.
Partnership Without Overhead
An extension of your team — all the expertise, none of the extra headcount. Or even an engineering department you never had.
Transparency That Builds Trust
Clear pricing, predictable timelines, and open communication — no surprises, ever.
Proven Results, Backed by Experience
Nearly three decades of mechanical design success — trusted by engineers, project managers, owners, inventors, etc, who demand precision.
…clear communication, consistency & fair pricing to deliver projects on schedule & in budget.
We’ve worked with C2S for several years and consider them an extension of our engineering department. They work within our project naming schemes & file formats to provide seamless integration to our department standards. C2S has helped us with a variety of projects, which range from conceptualization, design & prototype development, and production engineering & specifications. Their experience across multiple industries helps bring creative solutions to our specific industry needs. We have worked together with clear communication, consistency & fair pricing to deliver projects on schedule & in budget.

Imageworks Display
Their team collaborates closely with ours, embraces design reviews, and consistently delivers elegant, cost-effective solutions…
Most of One Source Industries’ engineering development focuses on retail POP displays, where speed, quality, and precision are critical. Our customers operate on firm rollout dates, and when demand exceeds our internal capacity, we rely on trusted partners who can integrate seamlessly into our development process. C2S has consistently proven to be that partner.
We have engaged C2S on several large and complex projects with great success. Few engineering firms meet our standards for quality, cost awareness, aesthetics, materials, timing, and production readiness. We have explored freelance, offshore, and temporary internal support in the past, but none matches C2S’s ability to fully understand our design parameters and translate final deliverables directly into our engineering processes, templates, and SOPs.
Across multiple engagements, including large-scale software retail rollouts, complex battery displays, high-volume apparel fixtures, and cost and space-constrained liquor displays, C2S has demonstrated exceptional technical capability and creativity. Their team collaborates closely with ours, embraces design reviews, and consistently delivers elegant, cost-effective solutions that meet both customer expectations and production realities. Several of these projects continue to generate repeat business and long-term success for One Source.
We view C2S not as a vendor, but as a true development partner. When our workload becomes excessive or timelines are tight, we can always count on their team to deliver.
