NDA-Protected: All consultations are confidential. We work with proprietary designs and materials under full NDAs.

How Our Consulting Works

From problem to solution in 4 phases

1

Free Initial Consultation (1-2 hours)

We dive into your project. Robot specifications, operating conditions, material constraints, KPIs, timeline, and budget. This call is completely free—no obligations.

2

Materials Analysis & Proposal (3-5 days)

Our team develops 2-3 material concepts with BOM costs, renderings, and physical swatches. You get detailed recommendations for each option.

3

Rapid Prototyping & Testing (2-3 weeks)

We build functional prototypes and run accelerated life testing against your KPIs. Expect 1-3 iterations for fit and performance validation.

4

Production Setup (1-2 weeks)

Final documentation, supplier intro, quality checklists, and production ramp-up support. We help with scaling from pilot to full production.

Real-World Results

See how we solved material challenges for robotics teams

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fabric consulting cost?

Free: Initial consultation (1-2 hours). We discuss your project, constraints, and give preliminary recommendations at no cost.

Standard: $1,500 for full consulting package including material analysis, samples, and basic testing.

Premium: $3,000+ for complex projects with extended support, multiple iterations, and accelerated testing.

What’s the typical project timeline?

Consultation → Delivery: 4-6 weeks

Week 1-2: Free consultation + technical brief

Week 2-3: Material analysis & proposal

Week 3-5: Rapid prototyping & testing

Week 5-6: Final recommendations & production specs

Can you work with proprietary materials and designs?

Yes, absolutely. We work under NDA for proprietary robot designs and materials. Sign an NDA before sharing sensitive information. All consultations are strictly confidential.

What production volumes do you work with?

All volumes, from prototypes to mass production.

Prototypes (1-10): Full custom support

Small batches (50-100): Standard consulting path

Medium (100-1K): Supplier coordination

Large scale (1K+): Full production support

Do you produce the materials yourselves?

No, we don’t produce. We are materials consultants. We recommend, test, and help you source from the best suppliers. This keeps costs down and ensures you get the optimal material for your specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all product.

How do you validate material performance?

Multiple testing methods:

✓ Accelerated life testing (MTBF validation)

✓ Environmental simulations (temperature, humidity, dust exposure)

✓ Mechanical testing (tension, tear, abrasion)

✓ Field pilot testing with your actual robot

All results delivered with detailed test logs and recommendations.
