PLA, ABS, PETG, PC, Nylon, and tough resins are just a few of the materials we can print inhouse, where quality and accuracy always come first.

Embedded Apps

Need firmware? Let us help you develop edge device functionality, bridging the hardware with the backend, frontend and client interface.

Prototyping

Prototypes are critical as they allow you to iron out the flaws, analyze solution costs and give you a chance to get a feel for your product.

Turnkey Solutions

We can help with with all assembly steps, including PCBAs, supporting mechanical assemblies, final assembly and programming.

Product Revisions

Your customers are always on the lookout for the next product version. We can help with that, even if it’s an outside product we didn’t create.

Worldwide Reach

We work with clients all around the world, and have solutions operating across the US, Europe and Asia. We don’t rest until you are satisfied!

We provide end-to-end product engineering and development services to help you launch your BIG idea. Based on your requirements we can do as little as schematic and PCB design or offer you a full suite of services to help you get your idea from concept to mass production along with patents and more.

Already have a prototype? Looking to take the next steps? Great! Get in touch with one of our engineers for a free consultation. We’ll work with you and inform you along the way with what it takes to get your prototype to mass production.

Our Engineering Process

1. Consultation

One of our senior engineers work closely with you to understand your project requirements, as well as any constraints and wish list items. 

2. Proposal

Once we have a solid understanding of your project requirements, we provide you with a proposal containing a high level project plan with key milestones.

3. Development

Upon agreement of the proposal and following payment of the initial 25% starting fee, we begin development on your project. 

4. Delivery

After you have evaluated our work and we have made adjustments based on your feedback, we deliver you the end product along with all the intellectual property developed.

        Amelia Arief, CEO

        We did a lot of research before finally settling on SmartAlex to help us take our idea from a prototype to a product that we could sell. While we were able to produce our own prototype, we had very little knowledge of what it actually takes to produce an end product. As you can guess, we had a ton of questions. The folks over at SmartAlex were able to answer all of our questions, help us pick the right components for our board and also designed our PCB in a way that allows for future growth, which I personally thought was awesome. These guys are passionate about what they do, they went above and beyond what we paid for.”
