From a sketch, concept, or existing prototype to commercial-ready hardware

You don't need a finished design to get started.  Forge works with independent inventors and entreprenuers to develop ideas into practical, manufacturable products through design-thinking, prototyping, testing and iteration.

HAVE AN IDEA?
LET'S MAKE IT REAL 

" INVENTION IS A PRODUCT OF OPPORTUNITY"

Problems are opportunities waiting to be solved. 
A frustrating product.  An inefficient process.  A part that doesn't exist.  Something that works - but could work better.  These are often where worthwhile ideas begin.

Forge helps turn those opportunities into solutions through engineering, experimentation, prototyping, and iteration.
