Great innovative ideas don't always occur. From time to time you might have one, but often making

them happen is the hardest part of the challenge.

How many times did it happen to you having a great idea for a project and not knowing the right

place to go to turn your idea into reality.

Your idea might require several skills, several materials and you probably start questioning yourself

where should you go first.

After deciding and choosing several suppliers to your project, each one from it's own area, you will

have to face a long process to get exactly what you need from each supplier.

To sum to all the concerns you will handle with each supplier, you will have to get all parts together

and make the project work as each supplier is only seeing his own part of the whole process.

This is a decisive step where projects fail to turn out a products because your not supposed to be a

specialist in several areas ( you already had the great idea!), and your specialised suppliers are not

obliged to know about other areas.

That's precisely where good ideas can stuck year after year not getting to reach the light of the

day...or the store.

To transform your idea in a real product you need a multidisciplinary team to rely your project , a sole

place you can go , expose what you want and through quick and efficient meetings you can

communicate all questions arising your head while you're feeling the market. In fact the market is the

only aspect you should be focused meanwhile you get an update of product construction.

Either you need brand new products or products re-design, our

team has design and engineering skills with depth knowledge

and understanding of materials, production processes, market

research and commercial awareness, to provide a unique a smart

solution for your product.

From benchmarketing to engineering validation, actives roles

from marketing, psychology and conceptual designing are highly

supported in brainstorming to achieve new forms and ways of

innovation.

Our team specializes in three branches of Design: Product,

Communication and Packaging

Since out team has different engineering skills such as mechani-

cal, electronic, telecommunications, IT, chemical, materials and

others, we are able to balance innovative engineering design with

functional requirements and esthetic appeal.

Usually, products either for mass manufacturing or for small

quantity productions, commonly fall under different market areas.

After product design, we have a shop where we can produce

rapid prototyping through several processes in a wide range of

materials.

We do as well all necessary rework to complete product and

validade engineering for homologations and certification stages.

Our experience and resources allow us to have a response in 24

hours.

PLASTIC PROTOTYPING

- Master part manufacturing with FDM, SLS or SLA

- Fast tooling for small series

- Silicon molds for pre-series

MECHANICAL PROTOTYPING

- Prototype fabrication, Assembly, Test and Rework

- BOM Analysis

- Top Level and Sub-Assembly Build Evaluation

- Fabrication and Assembly Drawing Review

ELECTRONIC PROTOTYPING

- PCB Design

- PCB prototyping by photo-positive method

- Through hole and surface mount soldering capable

- Continuity check testing

- Components assembly

- Firmware programming

- Firmware computational simulation

- Testing machinery prototyping

With our wide experience in manufacturing, we can guide you

from prototyping through production and supplier selection.

As out team includes lawyers, we start all developments with

non disclosure and contract agreements and finish with our

experience in Intelectual Property Rights.

Creating evaluations using different type of techniques during

chain supply management services we commonly provide

suppliers from all around the world.
