We Support Your DIY Journey

Each step of your DIY journey is designed to build your confidence, deepen your skills, and leave you with a finished product you can be proud of.

Concept Development - Clarifying Your Vision

You’ve got a great idea, but how do you turn it into a real product? Our guidance will help you focus your concept, identify what sets it apart, and define clear next steps. You’ll get the expert advice you need to refine your idea, but you stay in control of the creative process.

  • How We Help: We help you identify market gaps, refine your idea, and provide resources to begin prototyping.
  • Your Role: You lead the vision, driving the creative decisions while using our support for validation and focus.

Alpha Prototype - Test and Iterate

This is where your idea starts to take shape. You’ll create rough, initial prototypes that let you explore the feasibility of your concept. With our help, you can troubleshoot major issues and get feedback on areas to improve, while you’re still hands-on in building and testing.

  • How We Help: We provide advice on materials, testing methods, and give feedback on your prototype, helping you refine key features.
  • Your Role: You build and test the prototypes, with our input when you hit a technical roadblock or need expert advice.

Detailed Engineering - Fine Tune for Success

Now that your prototype works, it’s time to dig into the details. We help you refine the design, focusing on things like durability, ease of use, and manufacturability. You’ll be the one doing most of the hands-on work, but we guide you through the complex engineering challenges to make sure you get it right.

  • How We Help: We offer feedback on design adjustments, ensuring your product is optimized for its intended use and possible production.
  • Your Role: You’re responsible for making changes and improvements, working closely with our advice on technical details.

Beta Prototype - From Idea to Reality

Your beta prototype is a more refined version of your idea, closer to the final product. We’ll help you polish the design, tackle any lingering issues, and prepare it for real-world testing. You still have full control, but with expert guidance to ensure your product is meeting expectations.

  • How We Help: We advise on specific materials and methods to create a reliable prototype and help with troubleshooting during testing.
  • Your Role: You build the beta prototype, using our advice to perfect the design and get it closer to a production-ready state.

Production Transition - Prepping for the Next Big Step

You’re ready to start thinking about scaling your product. Our role here is to help you understand the production process—what it takes to make your product at scale. You’ll stay hands-on, but we’ll give you the knowledge and connections you need to work with manufacturers or vendors.

  • How We Help: We provide advice on how to transition your project from a one-off build to a product that can be produced in batches. We also guide you on how to communicate with manufacturers.
  • Your Role: You’ll be in charge of finding vendors and getting your product ready for small-scale production, with our help navigating potential pitfalls.

Design Lock and Production Documentation - Get Ready for Production

Before production starts, you’ll need to finalize your design and create documentation for manufacturers. We’ll help you lock in the final details and ensure your production package has everything you need to get started. You’ll create the documentation, but we’ll review it to make sure it’s comprehensive and accurate.

  • How We Help: We review your final design and documentation to ensure it’s ready for production and provide advice on final improvements.
  • Your Role: You create the production documentation and finalize the design, while using our expertise to check for completeness.

First Articles & Final Delivery - Seeting It All Come Together

The first production units—your first articles—are where all your hard work comes to fruition. We’ll help you review the first run, check for quality, and make any necessary adjustments. You’re still in the driver’s seat, but we’re here to make sure you’re confident in your product’s success.

  • How We Help: We provide support during the inspection of the first articles, helping you assess quality and decide on any last-minute tweaks.
  • Your Role: You handle the first production run, while leaning on our expertise to make sure everything is on track.
