Europe has lost the ability to make electronics quickly and locally. Hardware teams wait days to weeks for every prototype – or send their design data to Asia. Each day of waiting delays testing and costs Europe ground in a race where speed decides.
That's why we built a software-driven factory in Prague that manufactures prototype PCBs the day after you order, from a single piece.
| 01 We wait | 02 Outsource | 03 Loosing tempo |
|---|---|---|
| The development of a new prototype can be delayed by weeks because of waiting. | When we want to order cheap PCBs, we have to send them to China, along with our data. | Every day we wait for the prototype to arrive the whole development is set back. |
Our solution
We have developed new technology and optimised our processes so that we can manufacture any PCB the next day. But we don’t stop there; we are developing our own software for PCB inspection and design. Our software can identify errors, flag them and correct them.
We want to bring development back to Europe, and with it the passion for pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
With the rise of AI technologies, we are seeing that even hardware design is shifting increasingly towards the use of AI, which helps engineers translate their ideas from their minds onto a computer.
The problem, therefore, is no longer coming up with ideas – people have plenty of those. Nor is it designing the circuit board. AI tools take care of the design in minutes. So where does the new challenge lie for rapid prototyping and bringing new products to market?
The challenge is getting a quickly manufactured board to the developer so that they can test it, correct it, have it remanufactured, and repeat the process over and over again. Waiting for a prototype to be delivered is therefore another point where the entire development process is held up.
