          FOR RESEARCHERS & LABS

          Your Hypothesis in Hardware

          Reactors, test rigs, enclosures, control units, and similar things scientific, made to your specs. The custom lab equipment you can't buy from a catalog. Designed and built by a biomedical engineering team and documented thoroughly enough for your Methods section.

          • Fixed, itemized quotes. Ready to drop into a grant budget or a purchase order
          • Priced for grant lines: feasibility studies from $1,500, full build quotes fixed before you commit
          • Everything documented and yours: schematics, CAD, firmware source code
          • No black boxes: open, serviceable designs that an intern can pick right up

          Napkin Sketch to a Real Product

          Do you have an idea for a product, but not resources to build it? Come to us. We turn your ideas into real products. Whether it is for private use or for consumers. We take ownership of the whole process. End-to-End, all the way to mass production.

          • Start small: a $1,500–3,000 proof-of-concept tells you in 1 week how this can be built, with a benchtop or CAD test
          • One fixed price per phase, never hourly.
          • You own 100% of the final IP: every CAD file, board design, and line of firmware
          • If it isn't feasible, we say so and you keep everything we made for it. A $2k "no" beats a $60k "sorry" any day

          Already paid someone and got stuck? Half-finished prototypes, ghosted freelancer, design files you can't evaluate? We do project rescues. Send us what you have and we'll tell you what's salvageable, what it takes to finish, and a fixed price to do so. Even if the answer is "don't hire us."

          > Why us?

          Our core values: H.E.A.T.

          Human centric approach

          Everything we do must work for the benefit of humanity.

          Efficiency

          Efficiency is a sign of reason. Our thoughts, actions, and methods strive to be efficient.

          Agency

          We do not need babysitting. We take initiative, we take action, we take responsibility.

          Taste

          Our most important value. Taste is something that you cannot buy, fake, or teach.

          Most companies that offer similar services lack one or several of these values. To top it off, we operate on the basis of radical transparency. Everything we can share, we try to share.

          You can see our prices upfront. Those are ballparks and will depend on your needs. We cannot tell you a price before you tell us your needs. But we can tell you a ballpark. Hardly anyone else will.

          You can see our process at work. We shared the design study of our first product, CinderClock, for free and made it open source ↗. We believe that open source is the future of all consumer products. Without open source you can never fully trust anyone to not have malicious intent in their products.
