Our Story
About Gorman Precision
At Gorman Precision, our story is as rugged and adventurous as the gear we create. For as long as we can remember, our family and friends have been passionate outdoor enthusiasts—whether it’s overlanding, camping, riding, or racing. From the thrills of racing UTVs in the Mint 400 and the E3 class at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill to mountain biking and exploring the western wilderness, we’ve built a wealth of experience and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.
With years of hands-on experience, we developed high standards for the gear we use—expecting nothing less than durability, flexibility, and top-notch quality. We wondered, “Why shouldn’t outdoor and overland gear be as robust and reliable as the equipment we use in the desert races?” This question sparked the inception of Gorman Precision.
The idea was born around a campfire, where we reflected on the need for components that combine super durability with high flexibility, designed to last through the toughest conditions. With backgrounds in CAD/CAM, design, and entrepreneurship, we saw an opportunity to reinvent the industry.
This vision led us to create our line of 3D-printed soft jaws, which are specifically designed for mountain biking, motorsports, and general workshop use. Just like the adventures we cherish, these soft jaws are crafted to handle the demands of real-world applications, ensuring that delicate components are clamped securely without damage. We’ve chosen carbon fiber-infused high-temperature nylon for its unmatched strength and flexibility, ensuring our soft jaws stand the test of time.
Thus, Gorman Precision emerged—a design and manufacturing studio dedicated to creating small-batch, precision-engineered components that fill a significant gap in the market. Our mission is to uphold a philosophy where we control every aspect of the process, from invention and manufacturing to quality assurance. Our soft jaws are manufactured in our Colorado facility, where we maintain a controlled environment to guarantee quality and consistency.
We are not alone in this mission but are part of a growing community that values innovation, craftsmanship, and local production. We invite you to join us on this journey and help us build something extraordinary—together.
