Whats it's like working with us
"The bridge between in-house work and larger Contract Manufacturing engagement."
Rikard Grankvist
CEO Microcardix
MD, PhD
THE CHALLENGE
-
A precision handle mechanism concept — but no in-house bandwidth to develop it further
-
Uncertainty on off-the-shelf vs. custom manufacturing, including injection moulding
-
Big CMOs meant big upfront commitments just to explore the problem
WHAT WE DID
-
Acted as the bridge between in-house effort and a full CMO engagement
-
An agile team, sized to the problem, that adapted as the project evolved
-
Worked through multiple mechanism concepts to a clear final direction
-
Delivered a complete, consistent CAD and bill of materials
"The possibility to quickly and responsively customise the engagement to our needs." - Rikard Grankvist CEO
THE OUTCOME
-
A clear path from concept to physical prototype
-
A complete concept CAD and BOM package, ready for investors and manufacturers
-
Real traction toward clinical introduction
"A clearer path to physical prototypes and a complete CAD and BOM helped us for both interacting with investors and moving the project forward toward clinical introduction." - Rikard Grankvist CEO

Engagement Model
How would you like to work with us?
Two ways to get from concept to prototype. Pick the level of hands-on support your team needs.
Option A
Do It Yourself
Guided by a senior engineer - you execute
-
Step-by-step DFM checklist & framework
-
Bi-weekly expert calls
-
CAD & drawing markup feedback
-
Material selection guidance session
-
Tolerance stack-up template + review
-
Supplier network introductions
-
Final sign-off before tooling
Option B
Do It For You
Fully managed - we execute, you approve
-
Full DFM redesign of your part(s)
-
Prototype build & assembly
-
Complete drawing package
-
Material selection + datasheet justification
-
Tolerance stack-up analysis done for you
-
Supplier ready specification package
-
Supplier liaison & quote management
-
One primary engineer, accountable start to finish
-
Complete email access anytime with weekly catch up call
The Offer
Everything that has to go right - already built in
Four commitments behind every Luath Medical engagement
01.
The Outcome
A working prototype you can put in an investor's hand, and a drawing package your manufacturer can quote tomorrow.
02.
The Risk
DFM built in from the first sketch. You approve before any tooling spend. Miss the agreed criteria and we revise it - at no extra engineering fee.
03.
The Speed
A concept package in 2-4 weeks, a manufacturing-ready design in 6-12. Fixed milestones, one accountable engineer, a direct line.
04.
The Effort
One point of contact for CAD, prototyping, materials, and suppliers. You own every output on final payment.
"You'll work directly with me, start to finish. No layers between you and the engineering decisions "
