Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is revolutionizing how products are designed and produced, significantly impacting the automation industry.

In the world of product development, the journey from concept to tangible product is paved with meticulous planning, precision, and detailed documentation.

In the dynamic realm of material handling, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) have become indispensable, streamlining operations and boosting efficiency. However, it's the specialized accessories—like custom mounts, sensor housings, and modular attachments—that truly unlock their full potential.

Recently, we collaborated with RG Robotix to develop a manual safety hitch for one of their Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs).

At Sterling Prototyping, innovation meets practicality—and we’re excited to announce our latest product development. We’re currently engineering a 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥-𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐆𝐕/𝐀𝐌𝐑 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤 designed with space-saving in mind and constructed for everyday use.

At Sterling Prototyping, we're always exploring the best tools to bring innovative ideas to life. Resin 3D printing, known for its precision and smooth finishes, has become a staple in our prototyping process.

At 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, we’re trading snow boots for safety boots and bringing some serious spring energy to the shop floor.

We’re excited to share some big news—𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐟𝐨𝐱, 𝐋𝐋𝐂, a respected name in custom welding and fabrication based in Michigan.

If you’ve ever reviewed a drawing set and wondered, “Isn’t this all just technical documentation?”—you’re not alone.

In a world obsessed with high speed and bandwidth, 𝐋𝐨𝐑𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 are proving that sometimes less really is more.

At 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, we don’t just print models—we bring function to life.

In the fast-moving world of industrial automation, the little things—like how your AGV or AMR connects to a cart—can have big consequences.

As a company we’ve found ourselves asking a very important question—Is small batch manufacturing the answer to reviving the American manufacturing industry?
