Fathom is headquartered in Oakland, CA (offices and production centers) with services offered nationwide. Additional production centers are located in Seattle, WA and China.
Look to a Fathomer to help you make it happen, because no matter how challenging or impossible a design may seem, Fathomers will help you determine what technologies, materials, processes and combination thereof to achieve what you can Fathom—from testing aesthetics, form, fit and function to producing end-use parts like assembly fixtures or finished goods. Fathom encourages companies to focus on how a product should function rather than how it will be made to achieve the greatest product functionality. Whether manufactured traditionally, additively or a hybrid of both, this “outside-in” approach of ours enables companies to realize better products faster and more efficiently.
Our experts work with a wide range of professionals involved in the product development process and we understand the need for security, confidentiality and for specific certifications. We are ISO 9001:2015 Certified, AS9100 Rev. D Certified, ITAR Registered, and NIST 800-171 Compliant. We regularly serve companies of all sizes across industries such as medical, consumer products, electronics, automotive, aerospace, and sporting goods.
At Fathom, we continually strive to exceed expectations. With our lightning fast online quoting tool, and engineer-to-engineer review process, our customers find a high-quality partner that they can rely on to meet project requirements. We are incredibly responsive creative problem-solvers, so depending on the level of collaboration you need, we work with you to complete your project.
