Augtane combines research, design, fabrication and embedded engineering so founders, researchers and teams can move faster from concept to testable hardware.
Projects can enter at any stage: an idea, a research question, an existing CAD model, a partly working prototype or a product that needs another iteration.
Technical research, feasibility exploration, sensing approaches, experimental planning, literature-led direction setting and validation planning.
Integrated prototype development that combines enclosure, mechanics, electronics and user interaction into a testable physical system.
Fast production of prototype parts, housings, mounts, brackets and test fixtures, with design feedback for printability and assembly.
Mechanical design that considers component placement, assembly, access, usability and the realities of physical fabrication.
Prototype-level electronics for sensing, control and connected devices — integrated with the physical product rather than treated separately.
A focused build intended to answer the most important technical question before committing to full-scale product development.
HOW AN ENGAGEMENT WORKS
You share the problem, current state, target outcome, timeline and any existing files or prototype.
We identify what needs research, what can be built now, major unknowns and the minimum useful prototype.
CAD, fabrication, electronics and integration move in short loops instead of one long waterfall process.
We document what worked, what did not, and what the next engineering iteration should improve.
That is enough to start. Send what you have and describe what you need the next version to prove.
