Polaris Labs

Precision machining, 3D printing, and electronics build and assembly, in Austin, Texas

The hardware and manufacturing division of Polaris EcoSystems. We build our own equipment here, and we take outside work.

What We Run In House

Three processes, under one roof, in Austin. Anything else comes through our Xometry partnership.

CNC mill cutting a metal part under flood coolant

Precision Machining

CNC milling and turning to production tolerance in metals and plastics, from a single prototype through short production runs.

3D Printing

Additive manufacturing for prototypes, jigs and fixtures, enclosures, and low-volume parts, including geometries that cannot be machined.

Electronics Build & Assembly

Board build, assembly, wiring, and integration, so a housing and the electronics inside it come from the same team rather than two vendors and a tolerance argument.

Everything We Do Not Run Ourselves

Most shops handle a job outside their capability by declining it or by quietly subcontracting it and hoping the schedule holds. As a Xometry partner we source those processes deliberately, with the quote and the lead time visible to you before you commit.

For you that means one point of contact, one set of drawings, and one team accountable for whether the parts arrive correct. Sheet metal, casting, specialist finishing, and volume production all route this way.

Why Polaris Labs

Xometry Partner

For processes we do not run in house, we source through our Xometry partnership rather than sending you to find a second vendor. You keep one point of contact and one set of drawings.

Built for Our Own Projects First

Labs exists because our energy and infrastructure work needed parts faster than a quote cycle allowed. The same shop that builds our hardware builds yours.

Hardware and Electronics Together

Enclosure, mounting, and the board that goes inside are handled by one team, which is where most prototype schedules actually slip.

Austin, Texas

Domestic, local to Central Texas, and close enough to walk a part back to the machine when a drawing and reality disagree.

Questions We Get

What can you actually make in house?
Precision machining, 3D printing, and electronics build and assembly. That is the honest list. Processes outside it, such as sheet metal, casting, or specialist finishing, we source through our Xometry partnership.
What does the Xometry partnership change for me?
It means a job that needs a process we do not run does not become your problem to solve. We quote, source, and manage it, and you deal with one team and one set of drawings rather than assembling a vendor list yourself.
Do you take one-off prototypes, or only production runs?
Both. Labs was built for our own prototyping, so single parts are normal work rather than a favour. Short production runs are where the shop is most efficient.
Can you take a design from CAD, or do you need finished drawings?
Either. Send finished drawings and we quote them. Send a concept and we will tell you what is going to be expensive to make before you commit to it, which is usually the more useful conversation.
Is Labs a separate company?
No. Polaris Labs is the hardware and manufacturing division of Polaris EcoSystems, Inc. Same contracts, same insurance, same people.

Send Us the Part You Cannot Get Made

Drawings, a CAD file, or a description and a deadline. We will tell you what it costs, how long it takes, and whether it should be machined, printed, or made some other way entirely.
