Reliable Demo Prototype in 2 Weeks
Customer Demo in Weeks
IVO needed a demonstration prototype of their wireless power system to ship to a customer for evaluation. The benchtop version needed to be durable and reliable enough for international travel, and not just in First Class. By staying focused on what mattered, we met their deadline… and impressed their customer.
Root3 has been an invaluable partner in helping IVO rapidly prototype and scale our technology. Their engineering expertise and manufacturing support have accelerated our ability to bring innovation to market!
When it comes to modifications to existing products, the Root3 Labs team gets to work fast! They understand that when something in the field isn’t working right, waiting to fix it just isn’t an option for the end customer. Where they excel is coming up with unique pathways to achieve that desired end result that are logistically feasible, cost effective and that work! We’ve had electrical, mechanical, software engineering requests of Root3 Labs over the years and their team’s backgrounds are diverse enough to handle all of these different scopes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Root3 Labs to any of my colleagues for their design needs.

Credentials for regulated and controlled work
Our engineering experts bring decades of experience from regulated industries:
- ITAR Registration - Cleared to handle export-controlled defense hardware and data.
- CMMC Level 2, DFARS 252.204-7012, NIST 800-171 v2 - Compliant with DoD federal cybersecurity requirements for CUI.
- Maryland Professional Engineering Firm - State-licensed to provide engineering design consulting; PE-led designs accountable for regulatory safety and compliance.
- Named Inventor on Patents - 16 & Counting - Repeated track-record of turning complex ideas into novel, working hardware.
For medical, aerospace, defense, and other high‑stakes devices, these credentials mean you can hire us without creating new compliance or safety risk. Most US states, including Maryland, require consulting firms who provide engineering services (including product development) to be licensed Professional Engineering Firms led by licensed Professional Engineers.
