Don’t Let Antiquated Manufacturing Limit Your Startup’s Success
MacroFab empowers electronics startups to overcome challenges and achieve their goals faster
Challenges for Hardware Startups
Hardware has always been a challenging area for companies of all sizes. Developing a new product is inherently expensive, time-consuming, and high-risk. These challenges are inflated for hardware startups who don’t have the size, experience, or capital to negotiate, invest or absorb a loss. Manufacturing becomes an especially notable challenge for these startups.
PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) manufacturing has traditionally been dominated by large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that can commit to substantial production volumes. This means prototyping, testing, and small-batch runs have often been financially penalized as they have been considered not worth the effort. Or the costs are simply just too high as minimum orders exceed what’s viable for a small business.
However, many of these challenges are now being addressed by modern technologies that reduce risk, offer tools as a service, and eliminate investment barriers.

Accelerate Your Product Development Cycle
MacroFab’s rapid prototyping and short-run production capabilities allow you to iterate quickly, ensuring your product is perfect before hitting the market.
Unlike software that can be released into the world - experience bugs and be updated and improved - any issues with a hardware product are an expensive and possible reputation-costing mistake.
Any electronic hardware product must undergo a comprehensive engineering validation process from a simple toy to a complex head-mounted display. This can be an intimidating, complex, and costly process that requires external partners and long lead times for startups. MacroFab’s manufacturing platform mitigates this by providing tools and support to work through the engineering validation test, the engineering validation test, the production validation test, and the mass production cycle to ensure that designs are the best they can be before any total production.
Overall, MacroFab’s rapid prototyping and short and long run production capabilities provide businesses with the flexibility and agility they need to iterate quickly and ensure their product is perfect before hitting the market. By enabling businesses to test and refine their designs early in the process, MacroFab is helping to reduce the risk of costly mistakes and improve the chances of success in the highly competitive world of product development.
