Capabilities
Alpha Dog has over 30 cumulative years experience with engineering and design. This experience, combined with the latest hardware and software technology, enables us to develop at a cadence unimanageable to our competitors. It also enables us to deliver custom designs to consumers quickly and affordably.
Design
We have over 30 years cumulative experience in Industrial Design and a very refined process for developing new products. All of our work is original, developed from a clean sheet of paper. One of our favorite sayings is, "Those who can, DO. Those that can't, COPY!"
Engineering
We have over 20 years cumulative experience in Engineering products for manufacturing. This experience helps ensure precision in every detail..
Hardware/software
We're powered by MAC running Parrelles to proved simultaneous MAC and PC operating systems. MAC excels with running full Adobe Master Collection while PC excels with all CAD related software. Our integration of the two environments helps unleash the full power of our creativity.
3D Scanning
Alpha Dog utilizes 3D scanning technology to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and control.
3D Scanning
Our 3D scanner can achieve sub 100 micron accuracy; that's the width of human hair. This level of accuracy eliminates the time-consuming and expensive process of reverse engineering of slides and frames. 3D scanning translates into a significant cost savings for the customer.
Laser Equipment
Alpha Dog uses a high power, state-of-the-art Keyence fiber laser with 3D capabilities.
Our choice of laser system offers significant advantages over the lesser expensive models our competitors use.
3D Capability
Our laser has 3D capabilities built in. It enables us to engrave on complex surfaces where other lasers can only engrave on flat surfaces.
Precision
With detail capabilites of up to .08mm (.003"), "precision" is an understatement. Our laser can achieve detail only visible through a microscope.
Speed
Reaching speeds of 12,000 mm/s (472.44"/s) our laser is FAST, nearly 30 MPH without a loss in resolution or precision.
Low Energy Consumption
A full day of usage only consumes a pocket change worth of energy. Efficiency like this translates to lower costs for our services.
CNC Machining
Alpha Dog utilizes CNC machining for all our milling operations. CNC machines are used for production because of their accuracy, control, consistency and time-saving efficiency.
Equipment
We use Hurco 3-axis CNC machines, no manual milling for us. Our Hurcos provide the level of accuracy and control we need over our machining operations and improve effieincy 100x over manual milling. With spindle speeds of 12,000 rpm, machine time is limited which translates into lowers costs to the consumer.
Cerakote Application
Alpha Dog invested in all the Cerakote equipment required to ensure the highest quality Cerakote finihsing possible. Included in this investment are custom made spray booth and oven, vinyl cutter, Iwatta spray guns and a wide range of Cerakote colors that we will always have in stock.
Spray Booth
We use a custom made high flow spray booth with Hepa filtration.
Spray Guns
We only use Iwata brand LPH80 spray guns to ensure a smooth, thin application of the coating.
Curing Oven
We invested in a custom made curing oven to accomidate the long, narrow component sizes most common in the firearms industry.
Vinyl Cutting
We use a GCC Expert 24" Vinyl cutter to create all of our custom vinyl masking decals. Unlike many others, our vinyl plotter is in-house and we custom design our patterns instead of using the stock patterns that Cerakote hands out to applicators.

Litchfield, CTI can't believe how quickly you guys stippled my Glock frame. Sent it on Monday and had it back Wednesday! Amazing work.
Joe Pitasi
Owner, Stamford TacticalOur customers are loving Alpha Dog's diversity in stipple patterns and we couldn't be more pleased with the quality and turn around time. Keep up the great work.
Chris Bardugone
President, RAND CLPThe stippling Alpha Dog did on my P320 is amazing. 48 hr turn around is insane!
Matt Cote
Waterbury, CTI've never been a Glock guy because they looked so generic. Alpha Dog stippled my frame and milled my slide and now I can honestly say this is my favorite gun.
