Black Cat Prototype is a one-man machine shop run by Andrew Shamrock, who brings over 20 years of hands-on expertise in machining, manufacturing, and engineering. Andrews skill set extends beyond traditional fabrication to encompass reverse engineering, 3D modeling, and innovative design.
With a deep passion for tackling challenging projects, Andrew is the person you work with directly—no middlemen or sales teams. Whether you need precision-crafted components, manufacturing consultation, or creative solutions to complex mechanical problems, Andrew's experience ensures efficient and cost-effective results.
At Black Cat Prototype, you won’t just get parts; you’ll get practical insights and tailored strategies to bring your ideas to life and optimize your designs for manufacturing.
What sets Black Cat Prototype apart is our engineering expertise. Our advanced design and reverse-engineering capabilities allow us to tackle projects with complex geometries that would typically require a team of design and manufacturing engineers. As both an engineer and a machinist, Andrew Shamrock bridges the gap between design and production, eliminating miscommunications and streamlining the entire process for a more efficient and seamless experience.
We offer comprehensive 3D scanning solutions for a wide range of applications—from mechanical components to artistic, classic car parts. Our advanced scanning technology allows us to capture intricate details with exceptional accuracy, providing the engineering documentation needed to reproduce parts or fabricate them in-house.
Our 3D modeling services turn ideas into accurate, manufacturable designs. We create detailed CAD models with real-world constraints in mind, ensuring parts are optimized for machining, assembly, and iteration. Whether refining an existing concept or developing a design from scratch, our models are built to support rapid prototyping, efficient production, and seamless integration across mechanical and electrical systems.
Our blueprints focus on spatial layout, fit, and integration within a defined area or system. These drawings are used to plan how components, assemblies, and equipment are arranged in real space, accounting for clearances, mounting locations, access, and installation constraints. Developed with both fabrication and on-site implementation in mind, our shop drawings help visualize how everything comes together before anything is built. This approach reduces surprises during installation, improves coordination between trades or subsystems, and ensures the final setup functions as intended within its environment.
We create detailed shop drawings that serve as the foundation for accurate, repeatable manufacturing. Each drawing is developed with real-world fabrication and assembly in mind, clearly defining critical dimensions, tolerances, materials, and process notes. By translating designs into precise, build-ready documentation, we help reduce ambiguity, minimize errors, and keep projects moving efficiently through production. Whether supporting internal builds or customer review and approval, our drawings ensure every part is made exactly as intended—from the first operation to final assembly.
We specialize in recreating custom and hard-to-find components for classic and specialty vehicles that are no longer available through traditional suppliers. Using a combination of 3D scanning, CAD modeling, and precision machining, we reverse-engineer parts to restore proper fit, function, and appearance. Whether replacing a single broken component or refining a design for improved durability, we work carefully to preserve the character of the original while delivering a reliable, road-ready solution.
We design and manufacture custom trophies and medals that are built to be displayed, not forgotten. From one-off awards to small production runs, each piece is carefully modeled, machined, and finished to reflect the significance of the achievement it represents. Using precision CNC machining, 3D printing, and custom finishing techniques, we create durable, high-quality awards with unique character and attention to detail. Whether for competitions, organizations, or special events, our custom trophies and medals are made to stand out and last.
