Services

From idea to market-ready product.

You bring the idea and the budget. We come back with a plan and finish with a product that is designed, prototyped, documented, produced and packaged, ready to sell. Book the full chain, or only the step your team is missing.

Designidea → plan

  • Concept & product design

    Your idea, turned into a product plan.

    We take your idea and turn it into a clear concept, a project plan and a design that can be built. Function, cost and production are part of the design from day one.

    For: founders with an idea; companies planning a new product

  • Industrial design

    Shaped around the people who use it.

    Form, ergonomics, materials and finish, worked out for daily use. We design for the hands, backs and routines of real users, then for the shelf.

    For: products that people touch, carry or work with every day

  • 3D modelling & rendering

    See your product before it exists.

    We build detailed 3D models and photorealistic renderings and animations. Use them to settle details, pitch to investors or start marketing before the first part is made.

    For: founders raising money; marketing and sales teams

Developplan → prototype

  • Load check in development

    Know it holds before we build it.

    During development we run FEA on critical parts of your product to see how they bend and where stress builds up. It helps us choose material and wall thickness before we build the prototype, so parts are safe without being heavier or more expensive than they need to be.

    For: load-bearing parts, frames, mounts and moving mechanisms

  • Prototypes & testing

    Hold it, test it, improve it.

    We build printed and working prototypes in rounds, so you can test fit, function and feel early. We test them in our workshop. Where a standard requires it, accredited test labs carry out the tests. Each round brings the product closer to production.

    For: anyone who needs to prove a product before investing in production

  • Construction & documentation

    Built for production, documented for your customers.

    We turn the design into parts that can be built in our workshop or by our manufacturing partners: CAD models, drawings and tolerances. The product we build for you comes with drawings, CAD data, assembly and user manuals, and the technical file.

    For: products we develop and build for you

  • Manufacturing & supply chain

    One partner from parts to production.

    We set up production using our own metalwork and a network of suppliers, and run the chain for you. You deal with one contact instead of many.

    For: companies that lack production capacity or supplier contacts

  • Packaging development

    Ready for the shelf.

    We develop packaging that protects the product, suits shipping and presents your brand.

    For: anyone bringing a product to market

  • Worldwide delivery

    Made in Innsbruck, shipped worldwide.

    We ship finished products wherever you and your customers are, as single orders or on agreed schedules.

    For: B2B and B2C customers in Austria and abroad

How a project runs

Eight steps, a result after each one.

You see a plan and a budget before anything is built. You can stop after any step and keep what has been made.

  1. 01

    Idea and briefing

    You tell us what the product should do, for whom, and what budget you have in mind.

  2. 02

    Plan and concept

    We return a concept, a project plan and a budget. You decide whether to go ahead.

  3. 03

    Design and 3D models

    Form and function take shape as 3D models and renderings you can review.

  4. 04

    Prototypes and testing

    Printed parts and working prototypes, improved in rounds. We test in-house, or coordinate tests to the relevant standards with accredited test facilities.

  5. 05

    Construction, load check and documentation

    We construct the parts for our workshop or manufacturing partners, check critical parts with FEA and document the product.

  6. 06

    Production and supply chain

    We build in our workshop or with suppliers, and manage the chain.

  7. 07

    Packaging

    Packaging designed to protect, ship and sell.

  8. 08

    Delivered

    A market-ready product, delivered to you or straight to your customers.

You bring: idea + budgetTypical project length: 3 to 6 monthsYou receive: a product ready to sell

Who we work with

The whole chain, or the stage you join at.

Entrepreneurs & founders

You have an idea and a budget, but no product team. We become that team, from the first plan to the first shipment.

  • A clear plan and budget before building starts
  • Renderings to pitch to investors and customers
  • One contact for the whole chain

Established companies

Your team is at capacity or lacks a specific skill. We take on a full product, or join at the stage you are at, from design to prototypes and production.

  • Design and development of products we build for you
  • Prototyping before you commit to tooling
  • Production and supply chain set up for you

Free · 30 minutes · Video call

FAQ

Questions before you start.

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.

Bring the idea. We bring the plan.
