Design & prototype my idea

Don't Have a 3D File? We Can Design It.

Describe your idea, add photos, sketches and measurements, and we'll scope the design — enclosures, prototypes, replacement parts, brackets, redesigns and original products.

Workflow

How a design project runs

Milestones, comments, versioned files and approvals are tracked in your account at every stage.

  • Design and manufacturing priced separately

    CAD work is quoted as its own line, so you can see what design costs and what printing costs.

  • Agreed revision allowance

    Your proposal includes a set number of revision rounds. Further changes are quoted before any work is done.

  • Optional NDA

    Request an NDA in the brief and we'll arrange it before discussing details.

  • Your IP stays yours

    Ownership and licensing are recorded on your project. There is no automatic transfer of rights, and nothing is shown in our portfolio without your written permission.

Design brief

Tell us about your idea

The more detail you share, the more accurate our proposal. Everything you send is confidential.

Your idea

What should it do? What problem does it solve? What does it attach to or hold?

Indoors, outdoors, heat, moisture, vibration…

Include units. Critical dimensions first.

e.g. must fit over a 22.0 mm tube; snap fit; sliding fit

Similar products, datasheets, board dimensions.

Photos, sketches or drawings (optional)

JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or PDF · up to 25 MB each

Scope

e.g. 1 prototype, then 50

Your details

Include the country code if outside the US.

We'll send one for review. NDA terms should be reviewed by your own counsel.

Off by default. We never publish your work without this permission.

Confidential: files are stored privately, visible only to you and the FORMYQ team working on your project, and never published without your written permission. Only upload files you have the right to share.

No charge for the inquiry. Design work starts only after you approve a proposal.
