Hardware & electronics
PCB design, mechanical engineering and production-ready devices — from schematic to DFM.
About Idea8
Hardware meets intelligence. Prototypes become products.
Idea8 is an end-to-end product engineering company for teams that refuse to ship fragile systems. We combine hardware, firmware, robotics and applied AI to take ideas from concept to market-ready — and IntelliFactory is the flagship platform we built for garment manufacturing.
