Built around your momentum

The gap between an idea
and a real thing?
Let’s close it.

Great products don’t happen in a straight line. Your prototyping partner should be ready for the turns.

Swollen Hippo Industries brings mechanical, electrical, and digital development together to support domestic manufacturers. We help you test assumptions, refine the details, and get to a prototype you can put to work.

Shorter feedback loops

Keep design decisions close to the people making your parts.

Quality from the start

Define critical dimensions, acceptance criteria, and next steps early.

Our capabilities

Everything your
prototype needs.

One part or a complete system. Bring us in where you need support, and keep your project moving.

1–1,000 units per project.

PDF, STEP, STL, or ZIP. Maximum 20 MB. Simulation only: files stay on your device and are not read or uploaded.

Confidence at every iteration

Your standards.
Your intellectual property.

Build quality into the scope: agree on tolerances, inspection needs, and applicable standards before work begins. Any certification or regulated requirement needs project-specific confirmation.

Keep sensitive designs protected. Discuss an NDA and an approved secure transfer method before sharing confidential IP. This demonstration does not transmit or store project files.
