About Us

ID8 Design, Inc.

"Brian developed a unique process to fabricate a very difficult-to-machine medical device component for us. This needle part was critical to the birth of an entirely new industry and family of innovative products. Other highly experienced machinists who are at the top of their game gave up trying to make this part. When Brian delivered the needles, they were atomically perfect and functioned beautifully in the mechanism. At ID8 Design, Inc., we rely on Spitz Design to tackle machining projects that require perfection. Brian takes the time to really understand the design intent of the part and then engineers a process to adhere to the original goals, delivering a part that not only meets print, but can be used as the gold standard performance benchmark for transitioning into production with other manufacturing methods like MIM."
