CootWorx was founded on a love of building real things, where mechanics, electronics, software, and optics meet. Projects are approached as complete systems, not isolated disciplines, with deep optical expertise alongside practical mechanical and electronic design. It’s a lean, self-funded engineering outfit built to stay close to the work, which means no investor priorities, no corporate layers, and no theatre. Only focus and a clean path to a working outcome.

Custom solutions start with real constraints, not templates. Listening first, nailing down what actually matters, then translating requirements into practical design choices without overcomplicating it. From shaping a vague “wouldn’t it be handy if…” into a prototype, to untangling stubborn technical challenges into something robust and buildable, the work is driven by hands-on iteration and real testing until it’s ready to manufacture and rely on.

You deal directly with the engineer doing the thinking and the making, so decisions happen earlier, details don’t get lost, and momentum stays high. If you’ve got an idea that needs proving, a prototype that needs de-risking, or a product that needs tightening up for the real world, reach out. One short chat is usually enough to sanity-check the concept, surface the constraints, and map the quickest route to a first working version.
