You Should Not Have to Ask What It Costs
Finding out whether your budget is in range should take thirty seconds, not a form and a two-day wait. Prices go on this page.

Figures pending
A published price list is coming: what a prototype starts at, how a batch is quoted, and the minimum batch size.
Nothing appears here yet because the verified figures are not loaded in. A placeholder price is a promise nobody meant to make — and the first person to plan a product around it would be the one who pays for the mistake.
Why two similar products quote differently
Useful to know before you ask, because most of these are things you can decide.
How many units, and when
Quantity is usually the biggest single factor, and it changes which process makes sense. The cheapest way to make 20 and the cheapest way to make 2,000 are different methods, not the same method at a discount.
How settled the design is
A brief that still has open questions costs more than a brief that does not, because the answers get found by building. Every revision is real hours.
What is inside it
A purely mechanical part is one engineering problem. Add a board, firmware and a battery and it becomes four problems that have to agree with each other.
Materials and finish
Material choice moves both the unit cost and the process. Cosmetic finish on a part nobody sees is the most common place founders spend money for no return.
Tooling, or no tooling
Tooling costs money upfront and saves it per unit. Which side of that trade you want depends entirely on how sure you are of the design and the quantity.
Testing and compliance
Anything sold to consumers, and especially to children, has a test regime. It is cheaper to design for it than to discover it after the batch is made.
What to send us
You do not need all of it. The more of it you have, the closer the first number will be.
Enough to start
- What the product does — the function, in plain words
- Who buys it — consumer, trade, education, industrial
- How many you want in the first batch
- When you need it, and whether that date is real or hopeful
Helpful if you have it
- Sketches, drawings or CAD, at any level of finish
- A target price per unit, or a target retail price
- Products already on the market that are close to yours
- Anything already tried that did not work, and why
Not needed
- Finished CAD. A napkin sketch is a normal starting point
- A decision on materials or process — that is our job
- A deposit to find out the price
An itemized quote means you can question a line instead of arguing with a single total.
