Why Teams Choose Imagrove

1

One Team, Start to Finish

The people who design your schematic are the same people who flash firmware and run functional tests. No account managers, no ticket systems, no "let me check with engineering."

2

Rapid Iteration

A design change shouldn't cost two weeks. Because the same team owns schematic, PCB, firmware, and test — a revision loop takes 1–3 days. We're also building a desktop fabrication tool to compress design-to-verification to hours.

3

中文 + English Support

Seamless bilingual communication across design, sourcing, and production. We bridge the gap between Western product ideas and Chinese manufacturing reality.

Start Where You Are

Most clients enter at Tier 1 and scale. You can also jump straight to any tier if your requirements are clear.

Why Not Just Use a PCB Fab?

A fab gives you boards. You still need someone to make them work.

A fast PCB fab is great — if you already have working firmware, a validated BOM, and someone to run the test. Most people don't.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't have a schematic — just an idea. Can you help?

Yes. That's exactly what ODM means. You describe the product and its requirements; we design the schematic, select components, and build the PCB from scratch.

What's the minimum order quantity?

None. We can produce a single prototype for validation. For production runs, we scale from 10 to 10,000 units. Since we handle everything in-house, there's no external setup cost to amortize.

How do you protect my intellectual property?

We sign an NDA before any technical discussion begins. All design files, firmware, and BOMs remain your property. We can also structure the contract with explicit IP assignment clauses.

What if I need changes after the prototype?

Iteration is expected. Because design, firmware, and test are owned by the same small team, a revision typically takes 1–3 days rather than weeks.

Do you handle firmware development too?

Yes. Our team writes ESP32 firmware (ESP-IDF, Arduino, MicroPython), MQTT integration, OTA update logic, and sensor drivers. We can deliver a fully functional device — not just a bare PCB.

Can you help with certifications (CE / FCC)?

We design for compliance from the start — proper grounding, EMI suppression, and component selection that meets certification requirements. Certification lab fees are separate; we prepare test samples and handle any required design fixes until you pass.
