Design & Fabrication — Wake Forest, NC
Whether you need a thinking partner, a set of hands, or someone to handle the whole thing — Dynasty Machine Works meets you where you are. You drive as much or as little as you want. I'll handle the rest.
Start the ConversationThis isn't a drop-it-off-and-we'll-call-you shop. The collaboration is the product. Every step, you're in the loop — or not, if that's what you prefer.
Bring whatever you have. A rough sketch, a problem you can't solve, a half-baked plan you haven't shared with anyone yet. We talk through what you're trying to accomplish, what you don't know yet, and how involved you want to be. Scope, feasibility, and direction all live here.
// No idea is too early to talk through.
Concept becomes geometry. SolidWorks 3D modeling, iteration, design for manufacturability — catching the expensive problems before they cost you. The deliverable is a solid model. Prints carry only what needs to be there: tight tolerances, critical feature callouts, and nothing else to get in the way. You're in the loop on decisions as much as you want to be.
// Clean model. Clean communication. No noise on the print.
The first time your idea exists in the real world. 3D printing, welding, machined parts, electronics — whatever the design calls for, we build it or coordinate it. In-house capabilities are backed by a trusted partner network for anything beyond the shop floor.
// One person coordinating everything. One call to make.
It's never perfect the first time — and that's expected, not a failure. Test it, stress it, find the edge cases before your customer does. If the design needs a dedicated test fixture or a purpose-built rig to validate it properly, that's part of the work too. Refinement is where good designs become reliable ones.
// The right test setup is worth more than a hundred gut checks.
You leave with a part, a model, a path to production — or all three. The goal is for you to own your design completely: the geometry, the intent behind it, and enough working knowledge to move confidently into whatever comes next — whether that's a production run of five, five thousand, or a pitch to investors.
// Your project. Your IP. Ready for whatever comes next.
A broad toolkit means fewer hand-offs and fewer headaches. Here's what happens in-house and what we coordinate through the partner network — all managed by one person, on your behalf.
I'm Brett. Dynasty Machine Works is me — one person, fully accountable for your project from the first conversation to the final hand-off. There's no team behind the curtain, no junior guy you'll never meet. You get my full attention and my direct line.
My background is hands-on: toolmaker, model maker, research technician — titles that all mean the same thing in practice: I take what exists in someone's head and make it exist in the real world. Pair that with an MBA and you get someone who thinks about your project practically and commercially. I've spent years doing rapid prototype work alongside PhD-level researchers, serving as the bridge between a theoretical concept and a thing you can hold in your hand.
The value isn't just fabrication. It's the judgment to know what questions to ask before the build, what problems to surface early, and when to tell you the design needs another look before it costs you.
If you need a vending machine, I'm not your guy. If you need a technical teammate who's genuinely invested in your outcome — let's get to work.
Most engagements are straightforward: scope, hours, invoice. But the right idea with the right potential is a different conversation.
For projects where it makes sense, I'm open to discussing arrangements beyond standard billing — revenue share, equity, or a hybrid structure where my contribution is tied to the outcome rather than the clock. If you're thinking about scaling to production volume and you need a technical partner who's motivated to get there with you, that's worth talking about.
The name Dynasty Machine Works wasn't arbitrary. The idea of building something that lasts — for both of us — is baked into why this exists.
