A wide range of manufacturing and prototyping processes that allow us to check the aesthetic and functional aspects before starting mass production.
Mock-ups that accurately replicate reality
In order to shorten redesign times, reduce costs and optimize the final result, our EkimenLab center manufactures full-scale models that accurately replicate reality, therefore enabling us to analyze and verify the aesthetic, ergonomic and functional concepts of the product in a highly realistic environment before its mass production.
EkimenLab is a shared space for the development of new innovation projects that was born from the collaboration between Ekide and Sormen.
