From Bench Prototype to Batch

Your maker project works on the bench. 01 turns it into a batch: a waitlist funds the run and the shops start together.

The problem

Hardware costs too much to start

A project that works on your bench still has a long way to go before it is a box on someone else’s desk. One-off parts do not scale, and small orders get ignored.

What you skip

  • No a factory contact
  • No a seed round
  • No order minimums you cannot afford

What you bring

  • A working prototype
  • STL or STEP files
  • A bill of materials
01

Printed parts become molded parts

When the waitlist is big enough, the curve moves from printing to molding.

02

A real bill of materials

Upload a CSV. Part shortages are flagged before the run starts.

03

A serial code on each unit

Each unit can be traced from raw stock to the buyer.

Idea to shipped unit

The path

  1. Publish the design
  2. Get a price curve
  3. Buyers join the waitlist
  4. Press start
  5. Every part is traced
  6. Units ship to buyers

Example chain

    • 3D printing
    • PCB fabrication
    • PCB assembly
    • Final assembly and test
    • Pack and ship
