"Do you do OEM or ODM?" is one of the most common questions we get. The short answer is both — but knowing which model fits your project saves time and tooling cost. Here is how they differ.
What is OEM?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) means we manufacture to your finished design and specifications. You own the design; we bring it to life.
You provide:
- Drawings, CAD or a physical sample
- Materials, dimensions and finish
- Target quantity and price
OEM is the right fit when you already have a design team and a defined product.
What is ODM?
ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) means we co-develop the product with you. You bring an idea, a mood board or a market need, and we handle design, engineering and tooling.
We provide:
- Design and 3D development
- Material and finish recommendations
- In-house tool making and prototyping
ODM suits brands that want to move fast without an in-house product-development team.
At a glance
| OEM | ODM | |
|---|---|---|
| Who designs | You | We co-design |
| You provide | Finished design | Idea / brief |
| Best for | Defined products | New concepts, speed |
| Tooling | To your spec | We engineer it |
One-stop, either way
Because design, tool making, stamping, casting and finishing all happen under one roof, we can start from a finished drawing or a rough sketch — and deliver a 7-day custom sample in both models.
Many projects are a blend: you bring a strong concept, we refine it for manufacturability. That is where an experienced partner matters most.
Tell us where you are in the process and request a 7-day sample — we will advise on the fastest path to production.
