What We Actually Build
End-to-end instrument development
Most research groups can design a circuit or write firmware. Fewer can also design and fabricate the enclosure that houses it, machine or print the mechanical components that mount it, and then deploy the whole thing in a field environment where it has to work reliably without a technician nearby.
That's the capability we've built at Sunstrike. Our instrumentation work spans electronics design, microprocessor programming, 3D printing, laser cutting, and precision mechanical components — applied together, because real instruments need all of it.
This same capability underpins both our PV-Scope monitoring system and the instrumentation we use for SHINE's concentrating solar research.
Microprocessor-Based Data Acquisition
Custom firmware and hardware for measurement, logging, and real-time monitoring. Designed for the specific parameters your application requires — not adapted from a generic platform.
3D Printed Enclosures & Components
Custom enclosures designed around your electronics — not generic project boxes. We design for thermal environment, cable routing, and clean assembly. Built for lab and field instrumentation use.
Laser Cut Parts
Panels, brackets, mounting plates, and structural components cut from acrylic, plywood, or sheet stock. Rapid iteration for prototype development or small-batch production.
Fiber Optic Mounts & Holders
Precision-designed mounts and alignment fixtures for fiber optic devices, laser sources, and photodetectors. We design and build custom holders, rotation stages, and mounting arms for optical test setups where off-the-shelf hardware doesn't fit the geometry.
