Home / Project Development / Integrated Folding Lower Receiver Integrated Folding Lower Receiver The patented Integrated Folding Lower Receiver was an idea floated several years back by a friend of 17 Design & Mfg, who would become the CEO of Shield Arms. We recently brought this idea back to life in a joint project as a submission and down-selected submission for the US Army’s Sub Compact Weapon System solicitation. While integrating a folding mechanism into the standard operating system of the AR pattern rifle is far from simple, our extensive knowledge of manufacturing and engineering allowed for a high production, repeatable, first of its kind product that will shape the AR market for years to come. ©2021 17 Design & Manufacturing.

Home / Engineering Engineering We strive to foster an innovative yet pragmatic approach to engineering products. Our team can deliver both quick turnarounds and enduring results. We have a proven track record for delivering on time, on budget, and on specification. GET STARTED The Drive for Efficiency There are various technical challenges that can directly impact production efficiency. Fortunately, our engineering experts are well versed in all aspects of technical and mechanical processes. We look for ways to improve our products and designs whether that be through refining our products or finding cost-effective ways to manufacture our products. Getting Technical Our engineering team has been involved in mechanical engineering, process engineering, and large scale project management for numerous industries. Mechanical Mechanical projects dive deeper into the engineering processes, such as: Designing Prototyping Testing Pre-production Product Implementation We develop engineering drawings based on our clients specifications. To maintain quality control, we ensure all phases of the project are documented. Our clients deserve the highest quality products; therefore, we validate the appearance of incoming parts and assemblies to our shop. Process Our process involves turning raw materials into valuable products. Our skilled team is vital to our design, implementation, and optimization industrial processes. This includes: Evaluation, research, presentation Costs and time constraints Internal and external regulations Program validation All products are created in an efficient manner and approved once they meet our standards. Large and Small Scale Projects All projects are handled efficiently and with the utmost care and attention. We make sure to understand your requirements so that we can effectively achieve the goal. Streamlining Production To maximize efficiency, we incorporate various manufacturing software systems into our production process. The collaborative process within our company allows us to produce higher quality products and achieve consistent manufacturing.
