Frequently asked questions

Is this a replacement for your in-house engineering team?

No. We complement your team with manufacturing-oriented support and partner coordination so designs are production-ready sooner.

Can engineering work lead directly into sourcing?

Yes. That is the intended funnel: clarify design intent, then source and coordinate production with approved manufacturing partners.
