The job

ProductDevelopment

Your product, made in Japan.

Start a project

Finding the partner who can make your idea real.

Sometimes the technique that solves it is one you have never heard of.

Perfect for

Founders and product leads with an idea, a reference set, and no factory.

What we do

  • Work out which Japanese technique solves it
  • Find workshops capable of the work, not just willing to quote
  • Run prototype rounds with feedback from the bench
  • Model the unit cost at three volumes
  • Manage tooling, production and freight if you go on

What you get

  • A technique recommendation, with the reasoning
  • Prototype rounds and feedback
  • A physical sample in your hands
  • Unit cost at three volumes, and the realistic minimum
  • Full production management

How it runs

  1. Develop

    Technique, workshop, prototypes, costing.

  2. Decide

    Go on, run another round, or stop and keep the specification.

  3. Produce

    Tooling, manufacture, quality control, delivery.

Timeline

6 to 9 weeks to a sample and a costed specification. Approximately 6 to 18 months to first shipment.

On ownership

Your design is yours. The relationship with the maker and the general knowledge of the technique stay with us. We put that in writing.
