Design for Manufacturing
Product design is at the core of our business. We can help you turn a napkin-sketch into reality with our CAD modeling expertise.
Already have a complete design? We'll help you make tweaks to reduce component cost. We'll also create the manufacturing drawings necessary to leverage the capabilities of mass-manufacturing suppliers.
Functional Prototypes
Electronic Prototypes
3-D Printing
Moth Devices has in-house manufacturing capability that includes 3-D printing and CNC-machining. We also work with top-shelf suppliers, both local (Detroit-area) and nation-wide, to get quality parts manufactured quickly and inexpensively.
In addition to electrical design resources, Moth Devices has the in-house capability to manufacture 2-layer and 4-layer PCBs (available for 24hour quick-turn service). Common components are kept in-stock in order to avoid design-related availability issues caused by the current global semiconductor shortage.
Product Benchmarking
PCB Duplication
Product Redesign
Whether you are seeking insight into how a competitor's product works, need spare parts for products that are no longer manufactured, or want to find out how to extract that last drop of performance out of an existing design - we have you covered.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much does it cost to develop a prototype?
+
-
The answer to this depends on the prototype's maturity, level of complexity, and method of manufacture. Costs for a simple 3-D printed mechanical device can be a low as $100. Additional design work, electronics, or custom machining can add to the total cost. To get a free estimate for your project, please contact us or schedule a free consultation - we will build you a customized quote that includes only the necessary services and costs to deliver you a prototype that meets your specific requirements.
How can I be certain that my idea remains confidential?
+
-
Integrity is a founding principle of our company - every conversation you have with us is guaranteed to be confidential. You may be interested in having a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to consulting about your project - please contact us at (734) 822-8250 and we will be happy to generate a copy and send it to your email for completion.

+
-
Your ideas and your product are your own - when you develop a product with Moth Devices, you retain 100% of your company equity and Intellectual Property. We do not accept equity or IP in exchange for any of our product development services.
Do I need to already have design files, drawings, or patents to start a project?
+
-
The only things you need to start a project are an idea and a free consultation appointment! Previous work and project resources (including drawings or napkin sketches) may help may help but are not strictly necessary to start a project.
