Co-Development Sprints

For funded teams that need micro-scale devices built fast—with invention-grade problem solving.
  • Start with a 1–2 week feasibility sprint—structured DOE, real data, clear go/no-go.
  • Keep the recipes, logs, images/HS video, and performance summary.
  • If the metric is met, we can propose a tight, milestone-based follow-on—only then.

What you get in 1–2 weeks

  • Defined objective + success metric
  • DOE matrix + tool recipes (UV/IR where applicable)
  • Microscopy and optional high-speed video
  • Process logs and parameter sets
  • Performance summary: pass/fail vs. metric, next-iteration recommendations

Sprint options

  • Laser Process Optimization — explore cut/ablate/pattern space via DOE; output: optimal recipes + evidence.
  • Characterization & Video — HS imaging on microscope for motion/deflection/frequency; slowed clips + notes.
  • Microscale Lamination — precision stackups; bond quality, alignment, yield vs. parameters.

We tune scope to the smallest sprint that answers your go/no-go question.

How it works

  1. Intake (30 min): objective, constraints, success metric, materials.
  2. Sprint (1–2 weeks): DOE → execution → characterization → brief.
  3. Decision: continue with stock runs, iterate another sprint, or propose a milestone program.

Commercials & IP (typical)

  • T&M day-rate + materials; 50% deposit to book.
  • You own your device IP; our pre-existing platform/process know-how stays with us.
  • Foreground co-developed IP handled case-by-case; standard mutual NDA available.
  • Sprints are scheduled so stock services remain the priority.

What to send

  • Objective + success metric (one measurable target)
  • Any drawings/files; materials/coupons if available
  • Timeline and budget range
  • NDA needs (if any)

We keep scope tight and bias for speed. If a sprint hits the metric, we can propose a milestone program—only then.
