Independent product development studio · Canada
From idea to production-ready.
9OneFour helps startups and small teams turn ideas, existing parts, and difficult technical problems into physical products that can actually be built.
Selected work
Real problems. Real parts. Real development work.
Automotive & Motorsport · Product Development · Reverse Engineering
Manthey GT3 RS Rear-View Camera System
Rear visibility restored on an aero-converted 992 GT3 RS — a scan-fit camera housing that reads as factory, developed through 15+ rapid iterations and now a 9OneFour product.

Aviation Radome Fixture
A scan-designed fixture for masking and marking lightning strip locations on an aircraft radome — cutting install time from 4 hours to 1.5.
Aerospace & Drones · DFM
Generative Design Drone Frame
A customer's sub-40 g generative design taken to production — material and process advice, then a batch of ten in carbon-fibre ASA in three business days.

How we work
- 01
Define
Understand the product, constraints, environment, and desired outcome.
- 02
Develop
Build the design, test ideas, and iterate around the real requirements.
- 03
Validate
Coordinate prototypes, check fit and function, and refine the design.
- 04
Prepare
Finalize the design and documentation for manufacturing handoff.
Small team. Direct collaboration. No layers between the problem and the person solving it.
9OneFour is built for founders and small product teams that need capable technical support without hiring a full internal department or navigating a large consultancy.
Projects stay close to the people doing the work. When a project needs a specialized process or manufacturing partner, we bring in the right capability rather than forcing the design around a specific machine.
Need product-development help more than once?
We also work with small teams on an ongoing basis — supporting new products, CAD revisions, prototypes, supplier coordination, production preparation, and whatever comes next.

What clients say
Read more reviews on Google“Great experience with 9onefour. The communication was clear, turnaround was quick, and the final printed part came out exactly how I needed it. Really appreciated the attention to detail and practical advice before printing.”
“I had a part 3D scanned by 9onefour and the whole process was simple from start to finish. The scan was clean, accurate, and delivered quickly. Would definitely recommend them for 3D scanning or prototyping work.”
“Pricing was great, communication was great, very understanding.”
“Just a perfect 1:1 scan of what I needed to replicate. If I need something else scanned I know who to go to!”
