About Saevar
I help startups and SMEs turn ambitious hardware ideas into working prototypes. With my track record of building complex systems from first principles, I combine mechanical design, CAD for manufacturing, and hands-on prototyping into a single streamlined process.
Concept to prototype: I deliver CAD, renders, and physical mockups, including 3D printing & full package outsourced fabrication where needed.
Funding & growth: I’ve written and delivered technical packages for EU grants, investors, and pilot partners. I help early stage companies present their hardware in a credible, fundable way.
My goal is simple; to provide fast, reliable design and prototyping support so you can validate, pitch, or deploy your product without the delays of a full in-house R&D team.
If you need a partner who understands both the engineering detail and the bigger commercial picture, let’s talk.
