Dream. Design. Execute.
Blackwind is an Illinois engineering firm. We took our own product, VSBELT, from the first CAD model to a launch-ready store and the software that ships it. Now we do the same for your idea.
What we do
- Product engineering
- CAD, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing-ready design for physical products.
- Software & back end
- Storefronts, integrations, internal tools, and the infrastructure that runs them.
- Consulting
- Hands-on help for teams taking a product from idea to something that ships.
Built in house: VSBELT
VSBELT is a modular, customer-assembled competition belt for USPSA shooters. Blackwind did every stage of it, from first part to the store that sells it.
