Prototype Fast, Deploy Faster
Our tightly integrated team drives DFM-optimized designs from early concept through rapid prototyping to full-rate production—slashing costs, compressing schedules, and eliminating redesign loops. Single-site co-location of engineering, fabrication, testing, and assembly delivers unmatched speed and hands-on control: we hammer out the toughest technical challenges in real time—from trade studies and development to qualification, validation, and scaled build—without wasteful handoffs, travel delays, or vendor disconnects.
Mechanical Assembly
Obsidian Solutions Group offers comprehensive mechanical assembly services focused on short-run production and system integration. These capabilities support low-rate initial production (LRIP), test article fabrication, and deliverable assemblies for defense and government programs requiring precision, repeatability, and compliance with stringent quality standards.
Obsidian executes disciplined small-batch builds for mechanical products and subassemblies, delivering repeatable, high-fidelity manufacturing processes that extend reliably beyond initial prototype quantities while maintaining configuration control, traceability, and compliance with defense quality management systems to support program production ramps and urgent operational needs.
We perform precise, controlled installation of critical hardware elements—including threaded fasteners, self-locking inserts, precision bearings, structural adhesives, and bonded components—directly into additively manufactured (printed) or cast parts, ensuring optimal interface fit, load transfer, and environmental sealing under rigorous assembly protocols suitable for classified and high-reliability defense applications.
Our team integrates multiple machined, additively manufactured, or fabricated components into fully functional mechanical systems, completing end-to-end assembly and checkout to produce deliverable hardware ready for field deployment, platform integration, or customer acceptance testing, all executed with strict adherence to technical data packages and program-specific requirements.
Comprehensive inspection processes encompass calibrated dimensional verification using precision metrology tools, detailed fit/form/function assessments, and thorough build validation to confirm full conformance to engineering drawings, specifications, and quality standards prior to customer delivery, thereby mitigating acceptance risk and supporting seamless program transitions.
We conduct rigorous functional performance testing in controlled or simulated operational environments to verify that completed assemblies meet all specified performance, endurance, and environmental requirements before shipment, providing Government customers with verified, mission-capable hardware and objective evidence of compliance.
Electrical Assembly & Integration
Obsidian Solutions Group provides professional electrical assembly services, enabling the seamless incorporation of electronics into mechanical platforms. These offerings support rapid prototyping, short-run production, and deliverable electro-mechanical systems for defense and R&D applications.
Obsidian delivers precise assembly of low- to medium-volume printed circuit boards in accordance with exact customer specifications, including IPC Class 3 and mil-spec standards where required, ensuring reliable solder joints, component placement accuracy, and full traceability for defense and high-reliability programs.
We expertly incorporate a broad range of sensors—environmental, inertial, optical, or mission-specific—into mechanical housings, enclosures, or integrated electro-mechanical systems, with careful attention to strain relief, environmental protection, EMI/EMC considerations, and secure mounting to maintain performance and survivability in contested operational environments.
Our capability includes custom design and fabrication of wiring assemblies, shielded cables, terminations, and small production harnesses tailored to program requirements, built with military-grade materials, proper routing, and complete documentation to support rapid integration and long-term maintainability.
Precision rework and repair services are performed under magnification in ESD-controlled environments, enabling component replacement, trace modification, engineering change implementation, and recovery of prototype or production hardware while preserving schedule and minimizing risk to program deliverables.
Expanded Additive
Manufacturing Capability
Obsidian Solutions Group has significantly enhanced its fused deposition modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing to support functional, end-use parts and short-run production. These advancements provide defense and R&D customers with durable, high-performance components that meet operational and environmental requirements.
We utilize advanced, production-qualified thermoplastics with superior mechanical strength, elevated thermal resistance, chemical compatibility, UV stability, and flame- retardant characteristics to fabricate end-use parts that perform reliably in harsh defense environments rather than serving only as developmental prototypes.
Our enhanced capability supports the use of soluble/dissolvable support materials and multi-material configurations, enabling the production of highly complex geometries with internal channels, overhangs, and intricate features while significantly reducing post-processing time and labor, thereby accelerating delivery of functional hardware.
Expanded build volumes allow for the manufacture of oversized structural components and assemblies that exceed conventional desktop printer envelopes, supporting the rapid production of full-scale test articles, protective enclosures, airframe elements, or other large-format parts critical to defense system development and evaluation.
