About

If you’re a mechanical or R&D engineer under a tight deadline, the last thing you need is a slow quote, unclear communication, or parts that miss the mark. That’s the problem I’ve spent my career solving. I’m the Founder & CEO of Rapid Product Creations, a rapid manufacturing partner that helps OEM product teams move from design to physical parts in days or weeks - not months. We support engineers who need parts done right the first time, with clear communication from RFQ through delivery. Before starting RPC, I spent over 25 years inside the manufacturing industry, working at every level: - Started on the shop floor as a Tool, Die & Pattern Maker apprentice - Progressed through operations, leadership, and commercial roles - Served as General Manager for a public rapid manufacturing company - Led regional and national sales teams across CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and on-demand production platforms At Rapid Product Creations, we support small, mid-market, and enterprise OEMs with multi-component needs across industries like medical devices, EV, automotive, and advanced engineering. We’re process-agnostic by design, which means we focus on choosing the right manufacturing method, not forcing parts through a single lane. Our capabilities include: - CNC machining & turning - Injection mold tooling & parts - Die cast tooling & parts - Sheet metal fabrication - 3D printing (SLA, SLS, FDM) - Urethane (vacuum) casting What clients value most isn’t just speed - it’s responsiveness, clarity, and confidence. We move fast, communicate clearly, and take ownership from the moment a CAD file hits our inbox. If you’re building something that matters and need a manufacturing partner who understands the pressure you’re under, take a look at our services or request a quote to start the conversation.
