Hardware product studio
We turn product ideas into working hardware.
Electronics, firmware, CAD and the software around them, in one team. NCM Labs takes connected products from first sketch to a prototype you can hold.
Work · Things we've built
Real boards, real prints, real firmware.
Three of our own products, at different stages. Each page says what has been tested and what hasn't.

View projectPrototype sprint · How it works
One team, one fixed price, one working prototype.
No separate electronics, firmware and CAD contractors to coordinate. You deal with one team that answers for the whole thing.
-
01
Scope
We go through the idea, decide what the prototype has to prove, and agree a fixed scope and a fixed price before any work starts.
-
02
Design
Electronics, firmware and enclosure are designed together, so the board fits the case and the firmware fits the board.
-
03
Build
Boards are fabricated, parts are printed and the firmware goes on real hardware. You see tested results, not slides.
-
04
Hand over
You get a working prototype, the source files and an honest list of what has to change before production.
