# Our work

Case studies: what the problem was, which part APTUS DesignWorks did, and how it turned out.

- [Vivi Custom Foundation System](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/blank-beauty-foundation-machine): Vivi scans a face and mixes custom foundation on the spot. Blank Beauty hired us to design and build it, from concept to a Miami trade show in seven months.

- [SASE 8KR Remote-Controlled Concrete Grinder](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/sase-8kr-concrete-grinder): A remote-controlled concrete grinder for building sites where electrical power is limited or non-existent.

- [Hydramax Clutch System](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/american-powertrain-hydramax-clutch): Next-generation redesign of a flagship hydraulic clutch system: structurally superior, fully documented, and half the component cost.

- [Durability Test Fixtures](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/durability-test-fixtures): Custom fixtures that hold a complex molded part through tens of thousands of force cycles in an environmental chamber, without damage.

- [High-Speed Press Transfer Cell](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/high-speed-press-transfer-cell): Technical coordination and detailed design for a 2-second-cycle press cell integrating several specialist vendors’ equipment.

- [Production Loading Machine](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/production-loading-machine): A loading machine that moves product from an associate-loaded magazine onto a new high-volume line, delivered ahead of schedule.

- [Haven Smart Door Locks](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/haven-lock): Design, prototyping, and production launch of HavenMech and HavenConnect threshold-mounted door braces for a Nashville startup.

- [Dakota Boat Retriever](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/dakota-boat-retriever): Two inventors’ idea for launching a boat solo, taken from early mockups to a safe, production-ready product.

- [Electrical Product Test Machines](https://www.aptusdesignworks.com/work/electrical-product-testing-machines): Turn-key off-line electrical verification machines, built after prototyping the test process with the customer’s engineers.
