Every product travels the same road: idea, prototype, finished product. Start at the top with nothing but a sketch, or step in halfway with a product that almost works. After each stage you decide: go on, or stop and take your files with you.
Your idea goes in here
1
Stage 1: Idea worked out
from € 300
You bring
An idea, a sketch on a napkin, or just a problem that needs solving.
We do
We ask what it has to do and for whom, look at what already exists, and work out several solutions as 3D models.
You get
3D models of the directions we explored
One concept, chosen together with you
Its 3D model, to turn around on your screen
Images you can show to partners or investors
An estimate of what a prototype will cost
Stop here if you only wanted to know whether the idea holds up.

Stage 2: Working prototype
plus materials, from € 500
You bring
A developed idea: from stage 1, or your own drawings.
We do
We build it. 3D-printed, cut or put together by hand, whatever proves the point fastest. Then we test it with you and fix what does not work yet.
You get
A prototype you can hold, use and break
One round of improvements after testing
The updated 3D files
A short list of what works and what still needs work
Stop here if you needed something to test, pitch or show.

Stage 3: Finished product
on quote, around € 35 / hour
You bring
A prototype that does what it should.
We do
We work out every detail until it can be made: materials, how the parts fit, how it is put together. The looks get the same care: shape, finish, colour and packaging.
You get
Final 3D files and technical drawings
A list of parts and materials
A design for the packaging
Files and drawings a manufacturer can start from
After this your product is ready to be made and sold.

House rules
One designer, both sides
How it works and how it looks are designed together, by the same person. You talk to Joey, not to an account manager.
A quote per stage
You know the price before each stage starts. No stage ties you to the next one.
The files are yours
3D models and drawings belong to you as soon as the stage is paid.
Your idea stays yours
We keep it to ourselves. If you like, we sign a non-disclosure agreement first.
We charge no VAT (Dutch small-business scheme, KOR). Prototype materials are charged at cost.
Made here
Our own products
We also design and make products of our own. They go on sale in our webshop, which opens soon.
No. A problem is enough: something that annoys you, or a thing you wish existed. Working out whether there is a product in it is exactly what stage 1 is for.
What kind of products do you take on?
Things you can hold: consumer products, accessories, holders and housings, tools, displays, packaging. If it fits on a workbench, it fits here.
Does your idea need electronics, software or official certification? Tell us. We say honestly which part we can do and where you need a specialist alongside us.
Is my idea safe with you?
Yes. What you tell us stays between us, and we are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you explain anything.
What do the materials for a prototype cost?
That depends on size and material. A small printed part costs a few euros, a large or complicated prototype costs more. You get an estimate first, and we do not buy anything before you agree.
Can you also produce my product?
Small numbers sometimes, depending on the product: our own 3D print farm is on its way. For large numbers we deliver the files and drawings a manufacturer needs, and we help you explain to them what you want.
What about patents and safety marks?
Those are not included. We design and build; we are not a patent office or a test lab. We do design with the rules in mind, and we point you to the right people when you need them.
Does your product need a name, a logo or a website too? That is branding & web.
