Military & Defense R&D for Manufacturers Under a Deadline

Full-stack mechanical, electrical, and embedded firmware engineering team with a 7,500 sf prototyping lab to accelerate design–prototype–test cycles to weeks, not months.

Military-Ready in 14 Weeks

Engineered From Concept to Product

TRX Systems needed a rugged, waterproof, heat-resistant enclosure for their tracking electronics – fast. We quickly went from Industrial Design concepts to injection molded manufactured units. Deadline met. USG Customer duly impressed.

For Visionary Customers

Who Do We Help?

Funded Startups

With a Vision

You already have customer engagement and a clear product vision, but limited in-house engineering. We have the expert knowledge to help you turn that vision into a working prototype or manufacturable product.

Federal Agencies

& Research Teams

We help scientific agencies and research teams support the ‘Warfighter’ by translating basic research into rugged prototypes ready for field-testing and data collection.

Small to Mid-Sized

Manufacturing Support

Is your team struggling to keep up with your growing demand? We bring expert engineering bandwidth when you need it for as long as you need it to meet deadlines, fix manufacturing issues, and deliver results.

What Can We Help With?

Support for Startups

Strategic Advisors

Our experienced Senior Engineering staff can supercharge the effectiveness of your team by providing expert technical guidance and mentorship without the full-time cost.

Turnkey Product Development

Custom Project Packages

Our engineering team will help you turn your idea into a manufactured product. We’ll design and fabricate prototypes to ensure performance, functionality, regulatory compliance, and manufacturability.

Rapid Design Reviews

Is your Engineering R&D team wrestling with a technology problem? Instead of staying stuck or hiring more senior staff, draw from our collective experience on hundreds of projects.

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

50+ Engineering Projects Turning Research Into Prototypes.. and Counting

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.
