ARS builds the industrial systems that keep manufacturing running. CRAFT coordinates the engineering evidence medical innovators need. Same team, same standards, different missions.
ARS designs and builds the fixtures, automation, spare parts and workstations that keep advanced manufacturing lines running — with the speed and reliability regulated industries demand.
From a single custom fixture to a full production support program — engineered, built and delivered by one team.
Custom fixtures, jigs and tooling for assembly, inspection and functional testing.
CNC and conventional machining — from single prototypes to production runs.
Critical spare parts, reverse engineering and quick-turn replacements to avoid downtime.
Automation cells, functional systems and controls integration for your process.
Ergonomic workstations, production cells and industrial shelving built for real use.
Measurement instruments, gauges and inspection tooling for process control.
Every job starts with a design and process review — not just a quote.
Built to answer urgent production and downtime needs quickly.
Experience with medical device manufacturing standards carries into every project.
Direct communication, aligned time zones, local execution.
We review the problem, constraints, timeline and technical requirements.
We engineer the solution — fixture, part, system or process — before we build.
Machining, fabrication, assembly and inspection, tracked from start to finish.
On-time delivery, with follow-up support for adjustments and future needs.
ARS is a Costa Rica-based engineering and manufacturing company building the fixtures, automation, spare parts and workstations that keep advanced production lines running. We work as an extension of your engineering and maintenance teams — precise, responsive and built for environments where downtime isn't an option.
We help medical innovators move from functional prototypes to credible engineering evidence — through coordinated design, fabrication, testing, documentation and supplier execution, anchored in Costa Rica.
Medical innovation teams often have strong ideas, clinical insight and early prototypes. What's harder to access is the engineering, suppliers, testing and documentation needed to turn that prototype into credible technical evidence.
Finding the right technical partner is slow, unclear and often relationship-based.
Early teams rarely have the internal resources to refine, build, inspect and iterate.
Promising prototypes often lack build records, test evidence and traceable decisions.
Traditional vendors need larger budgets, longer lead times or mature product definitions.
We coordinate the technical layer early-stage medical projects need: engineering support, supplier alignment, prototype builds, testing inputs, documentation and practical manufacturing readiness.
We coordinate internal and partner-based capabilities depending on each project's needs, maturity and technical path.
Costa Rica combines medical device manufacturing experience, specialized suppliers, engineering talent and strong alignment with North American time zones. ARS – CRAFT turns that ecosystem into an accessible execution platform.
We review your technology, current prototype, constraints, risks and goals.
We define the workplan, scope, assumptions, suppliers and documentation needs.
We coordinate engineering activities, supplier inputs, builds, inspection and testing.
We generate documentation inputs, build/test summaries and next-step recommendations.
Our role is to make the work clearer, more coordinated and more executable — without overpromising outcomes outside the agreed scope.
Whether you're refining a prototype, looking for the right manufacturing partner, preparing a pilot build or evaluating Costa Rica as an execution hub, ARS – CRAFT can help structure the next step.
Support a medical innovation team moving from a functional prototype to a small documented build for research-use evaluation.
Identify and coordinate specialized suppliers for tooling, fabrication, silicone, machining, assembly or testing.
Support companies evaluating Costa Rica-based manufacturing partners through supplier discussions and transfer planning.
Create practical documentation: build records, inspection forms, traceability logs and build summaries.

ARS – CRAFT helps medical innovators coordinate the technical capabilities needed to move from concept and prototype toward credible engineering evidence. We combine engineering experience, medical device manufacturing knowledge and a growing network of specialized partners to support practical execution across design, fabrication, testing, documentation and supplier coordination.
We do not replace specialized manufacturers, laboratories or regulatory owners. We help coordinate the technical work so teams can make better decisions, move faster and create stronger evidence for the next stage.
ARS – CRAFT support is intended for prototype development, research-use preparation, engineering coordination and technical documentation inputs.
Formal regulatory submissions, clinical validation, commercial validation, biocompatibility testing, IQ/OQ/PQ or production-level validation are handled only when separately scoped and agreed in writing.
