bo-mar has established a reputation for providing true turnkey solutions. Our staff has years of experience in designing, prototyping, and custom fabricating projects of all sizes. In 2001, a customer asked bo-mar to assist in evolving an innovative idea into a commercially available product. This product consisted of a gas grill, an ice chest, and music all combined to maximize the owner’s tailgating experience. There was an existing prototype that was a completely welded assembly, which was not manufacturable.

bo-mar redesigned the unit to be mass-produced and fabricated several details to increase its marketability. Our team also custom fabricated a smaller economical version of the product. bo-mar ’s design and fabrication of this project assisted in the launch of a company that still sells this product today.

The Stretch Wrap Machine is the type of project bo-mar excels at, bringing a concept design to production. Our customer approached us with the concept of the stretch wrap machine, yet did not have the engineering capabilities to develop the concept further. Our experienced staff was able to fabricate the product into a viable commercial product.

bo-mar was involved in all steps of the manufacturing process, from generating the drawings using Pro/ENGINEER to shipping the completed product to end-users. We also designed two large units to accommodate larger wrapping issues and produced operations manuals for all stretch wrap machines fabricated. As volumes needed to meet demand increased, the inventors sold the rights to the bo-mar -developed product, and it is now manufactured in higher volume overseas and sold by another company.

bo-mar currently produces two Automatic Teller Machines they developed. This was another case where bo-mar was approached with a rough prototype and a series of goals, and bo-mar leveraged their product development experience into some innovative designs.  The customer wanted a modular ATM that could be expanded, a standard product and a double-wide.  We made modular components so we would be able to easily go from the standard to the double. Additionally, these machines can accommodate different facades and canopies so that the units can be uniquely branded.

The customer also had us design a cylindrical design. We built a 36 inch diameter cylinder about six foot tall.  They are placed in rental spaces, like strip malls.  This is actually a pretty unique shape for an ATM.  The door is the tough part.  It has shapes and features that are not easily made.  We came up with a way to make the main body out of two parts. It’s really a big weldment.  The customer came to us with goals, sketches, ideas and a rough prototype they were not happy with and bo-mar helped them develop it all.  Since then we’ve built hundreds of them. Now the challenge is improving the design and manufacturing process each time we do a batch.
