Design
A personal note-
"Design is more than ideas, more than sketches, more than schematics, more than 3D models, more than prototypes, more than production. Design is the incorporation of all of these elements with an eye toward fit, function, and feasibility. My unique background, having designed and manufactured my own parts for more than a decade, puts me in a unique position to help you regardless of what phase you're in. I'm happy to help you walk one step or run the entire race. My reward is in the work 'for those who don't work, don't eat' 2 Thess. 3:10"

Manufacturing
Wivco is able to produce quality products repeatably using our in house machine shop. Quality controls are evaluated and established for each job working with you the customer, to insure everything manufactured meets your requirements. If a process we don't have is better suited for your product, we will reach out to a fellow American manufacturer who does. Wivco currently has the following equipment:
- 1 CNC Lathe (3-Axis, Live Tool, Sub Spindle)
- 3 CNC Lathes (2-Axis) with bar feeders
- 2 CNC Mills (3-Axis)
- Support equipment including a manual mill, manual lathe, presses, marking equipment, and various grinders
- Low temperature black oxide line
- Standard host of measuring tools as well as an optical comparator and hardness tester
Engineering
Wivco specializes in mechanical engineering. A large portion of our experience has come working for or with other firms throughout the Midwest integrating electro-mechanical systems. This means that if your idea doesn't seem to fit into a traditional engineering discipline, we can help bridge the gaps by working with other firms that share our work ethic.
