Why MazeEngineers
Built for Your Protocol
Every maze is manufactured in-house to your exact dimensions, materials, and experimental requirements. No off-the-shelf compromises.
01Custom Dimensions
Specify exact arm lengths, wall heights, and arena sizes for your species and protocol.
02Material Selection
Acrylic, PVC, stainless steel, or aluminum — matched to your cleaning and durability needs.
03Sensor Integration
IR beam breaks, RFID readers, and automated gates built directly into the apparatus.
04Rapid Prototyping
CAD review within 48 hours. Production in 2-4 weeks from approval.

Hand-Crafted in Small Workshops
Every maze is built by hand in our workshop — low daily production quotas ensure each one gets the attention it deserves. Laser-cut acrylic combined with hand-crafted doors, fixtures, and moving parts. Meaningful-use and stress testing. Designed with real neuroscience — your data will be valid. Have a unique protocol? We'll build it to your exact specifications. Average turnaround: 2-4 weeks from CAD approval.
