We never lose sight of our supporting role
Formlab is a team of a new in-house format. Our specialists are spread throughout the country, likewise our contractors — factories and manufacturers in Europe and Asia. This approach allows us not to be within the limits of "how it's comfortable", but think of "how it's efficient for the task". If necessary, we can readily find and put very narrow specialists on the project .

6 more reasons to work with us
Be sure that you are making the right choice
For 10 years of Formlab's existence, we have developed more than 200 enclosures — from small electronic devices to house-size machinery.
We give design documentation to the producer on approval in the middle of the project, so that you would receive a project quality confirmation from a third party and be able to test the prototypes independently.
We can prepare and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (Confidentiality Agreement) on your demand immediately.
Experience
Assured design
NDA
Proper design
The hardware exterior should solve the business problems of the client. That's why we create enclosures with a professional up-to-date design, customized for specific production technologies and cost.
Convenient accounting
We work with VAT and manage the documentation on our own — clients' accountants like us.
Contractors
For the few years we have been selecting reliable contractors on each rechnologies required for hardware production.
HOW MUCH WILL MY PROJECT COST?
Designing a new hardware product starts with a Concept Design (CD) stage. A creative design and engineering team comes up with a solution. An experienced team is fast and can provide a predictable cost of development. The CD exploration and definition of a new product idea takes 200 or more hours, depending on the complexity of design, number of custom components, product safety requirements, and documentation.
Experienced design teams have rates from $125 to $400 per hour. We create a detailed customized CD budget, based on your project's specific needs.
For further details, please call and talk to us.

HOW LONG WILL MY PROJECT TAKE?
Product Design Stage:
Depending on how complex your new product design is, it will take from 2 to 6 months to complete our 4-stage process. Your design idea goes from concept exploration and engineering to 3D prototyping and user testing. It is then possible for several manufacturers to bid on.
Our creative team will find a solution that differentiates your product and delivers an 'I love it' user response, at the target business cost.
Need help to manufacture?
Our manufacturing setup experts will help you identify and secure trusted suppliers and contract manufacturers (CM) onshore and/or offshore as your project objectives require. We facilitate the process, from CM and parts supplier contracts, through injection tooling oversight, quality, test plans and Bill of Materials parts ordering.
Need help with your first pilot product build?
We set this up for you and fine tune product quality during the initial production batch builds and on to continuous production. Our process ensures we bring value, and transition out of the project as your operations team takes over production. We can stay on to facilitate production if your business objectives are to be a more virtual, low overhead operation.
