OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY EXPERTISE

Serving cutting-edge medical technologies

Kickmaker’s teams bring together multidisciplinary expertise to design innovative, high-performance medical devices that comply with regulatory requirements. We combine deep-tech engineering, medical electronics, software and bioengineering to rapidly transform a medtech concept into an industrialisable product.

  • Deep-tech engineering for medical devices: precision mechanics, miniaturisation, microfluidics, optics, thermal engineering, mechatronics and imaging technologies (ultrasound, photonics and nuclear medicine).

 

  • Medical electronics & embedded systems: PCB design, biomedical sensors, biosensors, physiological signal acquisition and medical IoT for real-time data monitoring.

 

  • Medical software & artificial intelligence: IEC 62304-compliant embedded software, biomedical signal processing, computer vision and AI applied to diagnosis and medical imaging.

 

  • Bioengineering & advanced diagnostics: biomaterials, biocompatibility, biosensors, in vitro diagnostic technologies and lab-on-chip solutions.

 

  • Design for industrialisation: design for manufacturing and assembly, prototyping, product optimisation, component sourcing and obsolescence management.

 

  • Regulatory-by-design: integrating MDR and FDA requirements, as well as risk management, from the earliest stages of development to accelerate certification.

Have questions? We’ve got the answers.

Who we are

We are an engineering and industrialization firm specialized in the development and production of innovative technology products. We support startups, SMEs, and large companies in turning their ideas into fully industrialized, market-ready products.

What types of products does Kickmaker industrialize?

Kickmaker industrializes a wide range of technology products for SMEs, large corporations, and startups across industry, energy, new mobility, EdTech, medical and instrumentation, personal care, transportation, and logistics.

What is our industrialization approach?

We follow a rigorous process:

  • Design & engineering: ideation, feasibility studies, material and technology selection
  • Prototyping: rapid manufacturing and performance testing
  • Industrialization: full industrialization, from prototyping to transfer to manufacturers
  • Monitoring & optimization: continuous improvement, production and quality tracking

Where are our offices and micro-factories located?

Our offices are located in France (Paris, Lyon, Nantes, and Grenoble), in the U.S. (Boston and San Francisco), and in China (Shenzhen). We also work with industrial partners across Europe and Asia to ensure top-quality production.

Do you work with premium brands?

Yes, we work with premium brands looking to integrate advanced technology into their products. Our expertise in high-tech product design, exclusive design, and premium materials allows us to support the most demanding companies.

How do you ensure project confidentiality?

We systematically sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect your intellectual property.

Do you only offer industrialization, or also product design?

We can step in from the very early stages of your project, supporting you with technical design, prototyping, and design optimization before production.

What are your timelines for industrializing a product?

Timelines depend on project complexity.

  • A functional prototype can be delivered in a few weeks.
  • Full industrialization and production can take from a few months up to a year, depending on technical requirements, constraints, and volumes.

Can you manage mass production?

Yes, we work with a network of qualified industrial partners capable of producing both small and large volumes, with strict quality control.
