With the engimatic independent designer role you don't have to worry about the manufacturing and distribution of your products so you can focus on what you do best , design !
You're good at it, and you know it! It's time for others to enjoy your bespoke creations. No matter if it's for the house, your car, a toy or a portable nuclear reactor, there is a place for your ideas on the engimatic platform.
Bringing a product to market is hard work! Finding investors, suppliers, and not to mention the up front cost. Here at engimatic you can sell your product just by doing what you love, creating new and exciting products.
All you have to do is turn your original design into an engimatic product.
An engimatic product is the most mature version of your product that you can develop yourself. To turn your product into an engimatic product it must have the following:
Product geometry in a CAD format ( learn more )
Bill of materials from the engimatic standard catalogue ( learn more )
Easy to understand assembly and use instructions (learn more)
It's not really. We will provide you with all the neccessary templates and access to the standard catalogue. Moreover, the independent creator role offers you access to our example engimatic products library, guides, videos and more!
You can find out more about our acceptance criteria here.
Once you submit your design to us, we start our validation process. Just to make sure you haven't missed anything in the process. It's always nice to have another set of eyes look at your idea. Our processes are made to insure that your product does what you want it to do, and that your customers will be able to make it and enjoy it.
We're never going to critique your design. When it comes to your product you are in charge!

Hell no! The independent designer role comes with an NDA between you and us. Your idea is yours and yours only! Feel free to patent it, for whatever patents are worth these days. Engimatic offers you unprecedented design ownership. With tools to prevent unwanted remixes and 3d model sharing between peers, your ideas are the safest they can be on the engimatic platform.

After your product gets validated by us it's ready to be put up for sale on the engimatic online store. There your customers can choose whether they want to 3d print it at home or have it delivered to their door, anywhere in the world.
Choose a price for your product and then we take care of the rest.
Marketing is up to you, share your product listing online with peers and friends!
Pricing is entirely up to you. Only you get to decide how much your product idea is worth. There is only one restriction on our part. Your product cannot be free. We believe that a free model culture limits designer's abilities to spend time and effort to develop better 3d printed products. So that's why we never give anything for free, the minimum price for any* product will be 1$.
*Exception given to people with disabilities who wish to purchase engimatic products that aid them in their daily life. ( learn more )
That's fine by us, they are your products. If you don't want to make money selling online product designs, why share them for free, when they can be used for a noble cause! The engimatic heart program diverts specific product earnings to a donation to a charity of your or your customer's choice ( learn more )
