Additive & subtractive manufacturing
FDM, SLA, and SLS 3D printing paired with multi-axis CNC milling for precise physical parts and functional assemblies.
Domestic prototyping partner
Rapid prototyping for modern manufacturers
SwollenHippo Industries bridges the gap between hardware concept and domestic production. We combine additive, subtractive, electronic, and software engineering into one cohesive prototyping workflow.
Our mission
Help US domestic manufacturers turn hardware concepts into functional prototypes and move confidently toward production. We bring physical parts, electronics, firmware, and industrial design together so teams can test ideas, refine designs, and prepare for manufacturing through a coordinated engineering workflow.
Capabilities & services
Multidisciplinary prototyping support for US domestic manufacturing teams.
Electronics & PCB design
Schematic capture, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, component sourcing, rapid assembly, and embedded hardware validation testing.
Software & firmware development
Microcontroller firmware in C and C++, hardware-to-cloud Internet of Things (IoT) connections, diagnostic interfaces, and control software.
Digital & industrial design
Design for manufacturability, ergonomic enclosure styling, computer-aided design (CAD) modeling, and user interaction design.
