About (Paul A.T. Ramey)
⚙️ KSOL DESIGNS
The Independent Invention & Digital Fabrication Lab
Welcome to KSOL Designs (Potassium Solutions).
This isn't a drop-shipping storefront or a corporate design agency. It is an active, multidisciplinary workshop dedicated to turning original ideas into physical reality and digital utility.
We operate on a simple principle: build things that actually work, make things that last, and never compromise on execution.
Whether it is precision laser-cut metal, dialled-in functional 3D prints, complete tabletop strategy games, or web-ready 3D software tools, everything under the KSOL banner is conceived, drafted, prototyped, and tested right here on the workbench.
🛠️ WHAT WE BUILD
- ⚡ Digital Fabrication & Rapid Prototyping
High-tolerance 3D printing across standard and engineering-grade polymers, CNC machining, and high-precision laser cutting. From one-off replacement brackets and shop tooling to custom production runs.
- 🎲 Tabletop Games & Interactive Design
Original card and board games engineered from raw game theory to finished, boxed editions—paired with dedicated digital companion apps and web tools to bring games like No Kings and Port and Plunder to life.
- 💻 Web & 3D Utility Tools
Lightweight, focused software solutions—including GLB Studio for streamlining 3D web asset optimization, asset viewing, and CAD-to-web workflows without unnecessary bloat.
- 📖 Original Hardware & Creative Publishing
From patented mechanical outdoor gear and custom fabrication parts to self-published illustrated books, driven by relentless curiosity and hands-on craftsmanship.
📐 THE PHILOSOPHY
"Built on the Bench, Proven in the Field."
We don't sell untested 3D renders, fragile prototypes, or hype. If a file is published, it has been printed and verified. If a game is boxed, it has survived dozens of playtests. If a metal part ships, it fits the bolt pattern on the first try.
