These guys changed my life. Im a sailor and had a catastrophic failure with my boat motor and needed a replacement part ASAP... Not the typical client.As an industrial designer by training my jaw hit the floor when I saw their manufacturing capability. This was the most comprehensive CAD fabrication workshop Ive ever seen- might have even seen a 9 axis laser mill in the corner. 😉The team seemed calm and competent, and yes, they custom milled for me the part I needed for free 🙏 Massive gratitude!
Have had nothing but great experiences with KAD Models. Theyre extremely knowledgeable, helpful and produce very professional results every time. I will continue to work with them on future projects, and its a bonus that theyre very nice people! Would highly recommend them for all prototyping needs.
Im an Engineer living in Alameda. I needed a CNC Part made from Stainless Steel. I called KAD Models & Prototypes, Chris answered the first time I called, I told him about the part I needed, and he gave me an Email address so I could send in my part drawing.By the end of the same day I had a quote for about the cost I expected with a 1 week lead time. A couple days later, I got an email saying the part was ready.I stopped by the KAD Shop on Clement that afternoon where I was greeted in a professional and friendly manner. Chris handed me the part which was exactly per drawing specification, I paid for it, and it was a done deal.KAD handled my business flawlessly and will call them next time I need a custom part.
Prior to working with this company, KAD designed and created an amazing prototype for a unique car project I was working on. I was obviously impressed. Couldnt ask for better quality.
Ive been working with Brian & KAD Models for over 4 years now. The part quality is consistently high and they are actively communicative during the quoting and machining process.Highly recommended for small and high volume machining
Brian and his team have deep tribal knowledge of all things prototyping. Their prices are fair and delivery always comes in quite a bit quicker than anywhere else I have quote a job.
Dont use these folks. They didnt finish our job. Leaving us in the lurch. Then had the nerve to be a jerk about it.
