Our Story
Cross Product was born in a humble basement in Buffalo, NY with the purpose of making small-scale product development flexible and accessible. Our clients range from individuals to businesses. Our background is in mechanical engineering, digital manufacturing, and product development. We materialize ideas to solve problems. We are passionate about creating simple, functional, and thoughtfully engineered products.
Our small size allows us to give personal attention to each client throughout the design and manufacturing processes. Whether you are creating a one-off part or developing a series of prototypes and preparing for mass production, we're ready. We put emphasis on clear and effective communication so that your dynamic requirements are always met. This way, nothing is lost in translation.

Our Advantages
We're Flexible
Cross Product was founded to provide individuals and businesses with flexible low-volume design and production services. We can assist at any point in the design and manufacturing processes, and no project is too small. Have a napkin sketch? Have a file ready for printing? We'll help you out.
We're Personal
Being a small company, we excel at direct and methodical communication. We work hard to make sure your needs are met: the first time. The engineer who hears your product pitch is the same one who prints out your prototypes. Nothing is lost in translation.
We're Sustainable
We take important steps to reduce our carbon footprint throughout our workflow. Our design process promotes simplicity, efficiency, and elegance in design. We practice lean prototyping methods, and more.
We Were Born in Buffalo
We are proud of our Buffalo heritage. Cross Product takes pride in supporting local businesses and we strive to support manufacturing in the Buffalo area.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
|
Cross Product is committed to minimizing material and energy waste. We accomplish this through several strategies, one example of which is partial prototypes. With a partial prototype, we only manufacture the sections of your product that are most relevant in the current iteration. If the primary concern is fitment with another part, then only the interface with that part will be 3D printed. This leads to lower material usage, which means lower cost and faster iterations for our clients. Contact us to learn more about our sustainability practices.
