We specialize in supporting customers with products that are intended for production-scale manufacturing. Many of our partnerships begin with prototype or early-stage development work, but our primary focus is helping customers move toward repeatable, higher-volume production. As a result, we are generally not the right fit for one-off or hobby projects.
