Is the idea check really free?
Yes. 30 minutes by video call, free and with no obligation.
What should I prepare for the idea check?
Nothing is required. A sketch, photos, a rough budget or a target date help us give you a better first answer.
I only have an idea, no drawings. Is that enough?
Yes. A napkin sketch is a fine start. Turning ideas into drawings and 3D models is part of what we do.
What does a project cost?
Most projects fall into one of three bands: under €5,000, €5,000 to 20,000, or over €20,000. After the idea check you get a written offer with a fixed scope.
How long does it take?
A full project from idea to product typically takes 3 to 6 months. Single services often take 1 to 3 weeks.
Can I book only one step, like renderings or prototypes?
Yes, you can join at any stage, for example with an existing design that needs prototypes and production. There is no minimum project size. Calculations or simulations on their own we arrange through partner engineering offices.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. On request we send our standard NDA before the first call.
Who owns the result?
We agree this per project and put it in writing in the offer, before any work starts.
How do you charge?
A fixed price per phase, agreed before each phase starts. No open-ended hourly billing.
Can you also manufacture the product?
We build prototypes and small runs in our own workshop and work with manufacturing partners for larger quantities.
Can you help with testing and certification, like CE?
Our team brings more than 20 years of experience in the regulated medical device industry. We test in-house or coordinate tests to the relevant standards with accredited test facilities, and prepare the technical documentation.
Do you work with clients outside Austria?
Yes. We work remotely, in German or English.
What if my idea isn't feasible?
We tell you honestly in the idea check, and if we can, we suggest a different route. You don't pay for finding that out.
Do you help with patents?
We don't file patents ourselves, but we work alongside your patent attorney and prepare the drawings for the application.
Do you also do packaging and branding?
Yes, for the products we develop with you: packaging design, product photos, video and branding.
What happens after the idea check?
Within 3 working days you get a short written summary and, if you want to go ahead, an offer with scope, timeline and price.
