RG Robotix turned to Sterling Prototyping to design a safer, more efficient hitching system for their PullBuddy AGVs serving a Tier 1 automotive client.

Just hearing “ISO standards” is enough to make most people tense up. Acronyms everywhere, technical jargon that sounds like another language—it’s no wonder they feel intimidating.

So, you’ve come up with a great idea—a napkin sketch of something you want to conjure to life. Now you’re asking yourself…what’s the next step? The answer is 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

We had the pleasure of visiting one of our clients in Red Bank, New Jersey.

At 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, we do more than just build prototypes. That’s only part of the story.

At 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, our toolbelt is packed with ways to bring ideas to life—two of the more versatile being 3D printing and molding.

At 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, we believe innovation starts with people—people who have ideas, challenges, and visions that deserve to be brought to life with care, skill, and honesty.

That’s why 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 isn’t just a value here. It’s our strategy.

When RgRobotix needed a custom hitching solution for their AGVs, we knew safety had to come first. That’s why we designed an 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 that features a built-in protection mechanism—so if something’s accidentally in the way when the pin lowers, it won’t get crushed.

Running a small business isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s long hours, tough calls, and more than a few “what now?” moments.

In product development, clarity isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s why we use 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 on every project.

If you’ve ever had a great idea and someone asked, “Do you have a CAD, STL, or STEP file?”—and you blinked like they just spoke Elvish—you’re not alone.

We’re here to bust some prototyping myths!

At 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, precision and integrity are the backbone of every project we touch. That’s why we’re proud to announce our collaboration with Isaac Hammons—an internationally experienced 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 (𝐂𝐖𝐈), 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫, and trusted 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 whose expertise is second to none.

In today’s fast-paced automated environments, traditional wheel blocks just don’t cut it. That’s why we engineered a better way to stop runaway carts and robots in their tracks—literally.

I used to think "sales" was a dirty word.

When you’re bringing new ideas into the world—especially ones with commercial potential—the question of patents becomes more than just paperwork. It becomes strategy.

Got a great idea but not sure how to bring it to life? That’s where 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 comes in.

In the fast-paced world of automation and material handling, unplanned service calls can disrupt operations, leading to costly downtime and decreased productivity.
