1. Infinite Capacity: Gain access to over 1,000 mills, presses, and 3D printers operating 24/7, ensuring end-use production parts within days.
2. Material Selection: Choose from a diverse range of over 30 different metal alloys and hundreds of industrial-grade plastic materials.
3. Jigs and Fixtures: Enhance efficiency with production floor aids that streamline assembly and workflow processes.
4. Custom Components: Rapidly replace one-off equipment components with machined parts, often in as fast as 24 hours.
5. Flexible Parts: Utilize elastomeric materials like silicone rubber and TPU for highly durable seals, gaskets, and internal components.
Engine braking is the backbone of modern trucking, ensuring controlled deceleration when not using the accelerator. Jacobs Vehicle Systems, based in Connecticut, required multiple prototypes with varying form factors to enhance engine brakes in different trucks. Protolabs, a part of ARRK, was the answer. We not only developed prototypes but also seamlessly transitioned them into the production phase, demonstrating our commitment to innovation.
1. Steel and Stainless Steel: Renowned for their strength, machinability, and cost-effectiveness. Stainless steel is favored in oil and gas fields for its corrosion resistance.
2. Aluminum: A versatile choice due to its excellent machinability and lower overall manufacturing cost.
3. Thermosets and Thermoplastics: Liquid silicone rubber and high-performance thermoplastics like PEEK and PEI (Ultem) serve various industrial demands.
4. Commodity Plastics: As equipment evolves to meet connectivity needs, affordable thermoplastics prove invaluable.

The outer design of an electric three-finger robot hand
The hand, motor, and controller are integrated into one unit, allowing for gripping force, operating speed, and position control using a servo system with a stepper motor. This product achieves a firm and precise grip on a variety of objects.
FUJI Corporation
ARRK was responsible for the exterior cover design of the show model of Fuji Corporation's multi-joint robot SmartWing. Later, the design evolved into a production model.
Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd.
The Corocoro Checker® is a robot that travels along the cables of cable-stayed bridges, capturing and recording a 360° exterior view of the cables for visual inspection. ARRK was responsible for the redesign of the existing machine.
We proposed a solution that addressed the challenges and achieved development cost savings while ensuring the inspection performance of the current machine, ultimately leading to its manufacturing.
