About ProtoCoyote
Two engineers who got tired of waiting on parts—so we built a shop to make them ourselves.
Our Story
ProtoCoyote started in 2020 because we—Travis Miller and Ben Mintz—needed a better way to make parts. In our day jobs, we kept running into the same problem: great ideas stuck in limbo, waiting weeks for a prototype that should have taken an afternoon. So we built the shop we wished we had.
Today we serve everyone from R&D teams at major oil & gas OEMs to a local pool supplies distributor—and everything in between. Our sweet spot is that early-stage work where a concept is still taking shape. We bring years of design for manufacturing expertise and hands-on R&D experience to help you go from idea to real, functional part as fast as possible.
We're not a big shop with layers of salespeople and project managers. When you call ProtoCoyote, you're talking directly to the guys who will be making your parts. That means faster answers, better feedback, and parts that are right the first time.
How We Work
We're engineers first. That shapes how we approach every project.
Problem Solvers
We don't just make parts—we help you figure out the best way to make them. DFM expertise is baked into everything we do.
Precision
Tight tolerances aren't a challenge—they're our standard. We machine parts to the exact specifications your project demands.
Idea to Part, Fast
Going from concept to a finished part in an afternoon—that's the kind of speed that changes how you develop products.
R&D DNA
We come from R&D backgrounds. We understand the iterative process, the tight timelines, and the need to get it right.
