From initial design through rapid iteration, our machine shop gives climatetech startups the equipment to build hardware prototypes before manufacturing at scale.
Our machine shop is chock-full of equipment startups need to build their hardware. This is where Greentown members construct their initial prototypes—designing and iterating on the inventions they’ll one day have manufacturers produce at scale. Modifying manufactured parts and assemblies quickly allows members to rapidly turn their ideas into tangible parts and components.
We keep machines running smoothly, offer training on how to use the equipment, manage consumables, and clear the way for our members to achieve the next milestones in the development of their hardware prototypes.
“The shared machine shop has been an integral part of our development as a prototyping company. Specifically, having access to quality mills, a laser cutter, and band saw has allowed us to make the transition from a true startup to a budding innovation company.”
