DID YOU KNOW?

Your Tech Due Diligence fails at Vendor Lock-in.

Up to 80% of your manufacturing cost stands or falls with the design – not with production. Let the manufacturer co-design, and they keep your CAD data as leverage: every price negotiation runs against you. And in tech due diligence, the first hard question lands: Who actually owns your CAD files? My answer: clean engineering, 100% of your IP rights, and a production package that lets you compare quotes worldwide.

15-30 min initial review of your ECAD/STEP data. NDA available upon request.

Independent Engineering
Best Possible Manufacturing

A complete production package allows you to request quotes from suppliers in China to high-end manufacturers in Europe – 100% comparable and without vendor lock-in.
