Let’s Build Something
Turn your raw ideas into production-ready reality. Whether you're a solo inventor or a commercial team, the studio is ready to build.
Direct Access to the Studio
We don't hide behind automated bots. Reach out directly to the engineers and designers who will be holding the tools. We typically respond to all inquiries within 24 business hours.

The Path from Zero to One
Discovery Call
A 30-minute deep dive into your concept. We evaluate technical feasibility, market viability, and studio fit. No fluff, just engineering reality.
Proposal & NDA
We provide a detailed scope of work, fixed-price or milestone-based pricing, and a signed NDA to ensure your project is protected before work begins.
Studio Kickoff
CAD models start spinning, 3D printers start humming, and the build begins. You get regular updates and direct access to the build team.
Choose Your Path
We serve two distinct worlds with the same high-energy grit. Pick the path that fits your current mission.
Pittsburgh Grit. Global Innovation.
Located in the heart of the Steel City, our studio embodies the spirit of industrial hard work and modern technological precision. While we work with clients globally, our workshop is where the physical magic happens.
Appointment Only
To maintain the focus of our engineers and the privacy of client projects, the studio is not open for walk-ins. Please schedule an appointment before visiting.
Transit & Parking
Free street parking is available on 28th Street. We are a 5-minute walk from the main bus lines and the riverfront bike trails.
Common Questions
How fast can we build?
Discovery calls happen within 48 hours. Initial 3D models for Inventor Experiences typically take 5-10 business days. Full physical prototypes vary based on complexity, but we aim for a 3-week turnaround on most initial builds.
What are the costs?
Inventor Experiences are fixed-price, ranging from $450 to $4,500. Commercial projects are scoped individually based on complexity, materials, and engineering hours required. We provide transparent, no-hidden-fee quotes.
Who owns the design?
You do. Period. Any IP developed during our engagement is transferred to you upon final payment. We are a "work-for-hire" studio. We protect your ideas with strict internal protocols and legal NDAs.
What do I need to start?
A clear problem statement is the best starting point. Sketches, napkin drawings, or cardboard mockups are great but not required. We can help you articulate the vision from scratch if the idea is solid.
