Prototype to Manufacture

What it is

The gap between a working prototype and a manufacturable product is usually where wearable and e-textile projects stall. That gap covers design-for-manufacture, sourcing and qualifying suppliers who understand both electronics and textiles, building test processes a production line can actually run, and resolving the durability and washability issues that only appear at volume.

Problems this solves

• A prototype that works by hand-assembly but can't be built repeatably at volume
• No test process a garment factory can run on their own line without sending samples out
• Durability or washability failures that only surface once real production tolerances are involved
• Suppliers who are strong in electronics or textiles, but not both

How we work

• Review the existing design for manufacturability, cost and supply chain risk
• Build or specify bespoke test equipment that lets a factory test e-textile products on their own line
• Run wash, durability and assembly testing in-house before committing to tooling
• Support supplier selection and early production runs through to a stable, repeatable process

Who it's for

• Teams with a validated prototype who need a route to production
• Brands scaling an existing e-textile or wearable product
• Garment manufacturers adding e-textile capability to their production lines
• Investors assessing whether a product is genuinely ready to scale
