Prototype with “0” Barriers, Accelerated by AI — Get Your Parts in A Week!
Fast, zero-barrier prototype with AI-powered instant quoting, smart scheduling, and full-process quality control. From CAD to sample in just days—no MOQ, no delays.
In today’s fast-paced hardware innovation landscape, startups and SMEs often face a series of frustrating roadblocks:
High entry threshold for prototyping: Many factories reject low-volume orders or charge hefty setup fees.
Slow, opaque quoting processes: Manual back-and-forth pricing can take days, and costs can fluctuate without notice.
Unpredictable scheduling: Traditional factories rely on manual scheduling, making delivery times uncertain.
Quality issues and lack of transparency: Without in-house QC expertise, early-stage teams often pay the price of rework and delays.
At Leanplans, we believe rapid innovation shouldn’t be hindered by rigid manufacturing systems. That’s why we’ve built an AI-powered prototyping platform that eliminates these barriers — enabling you to go from CAD files to physical samples in days, not weeks, with full cost transparency, real-time updates, and built-in quality assurance.
1. True Zero-Barrier Prototyping – Even for a Single Part
Traditional suppliers often require:
High MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities), even for early validation;
Expensive mold fees for injection molding or die casting;
Long lead times with little priority given to low-volume customers.
At Leanplans, we’ve redefined prototyping:
No MOQ: We welcome one-off parts and small-batch production without quality compromise.
No up-front tooling required: For molded parts, we offer flexible options like 3D printing or soft molds for early-stage testing.
AI-powered supplier matching: Just upload your drawings and select basic specs—our system auto-matches materials, suppliers, and processes for optimal results.
Whether you’re a startup founder or a product manager under tight deadlines, you can rely on Leanplans for fast, risk-free prototyping.
2. AI-Powered Workflow: Instant Quotes, Smart Scheduling, and Automated QA
Our proprietary AI Manufacturing Engine streamlines every step — from quoting and production scheduling to quality control.
▶ Instant AI Quoting – Get Accurate Costs in 5 Seconds
Multi-parameter cost analysis: Our system analyzes your 2D or 3D design files, identifies geometry, material, surface finish, and quantity, and calculates cost instantly based on real-time market data.
Interactive pricing: Compare costs between materials, finishes, and batch sizes — with real-time quote adjustments.
Transparent breakdown: Every quote includes a full cost breakdown — no hidden charges or last-minute surprises.
▶ Smart AI Scheduling – Real-Time Progress You Can Trust
Automated factory allocation: Upon order confirmation, our AI assigns the right machine and time slot based on process type and workload, ensuring efficient use of resources.
Live tracking dashboard: Monitor every stage — design upload → quote approved → production → QA → shipping — with clear progress updates.
Real-time adjustment: If a delay or disruption occurs, our system automatically reschedules and notifies you immediately.
▶ AI-Driven Quality Control – Built-In Confidence
Vision-based defect detection: During CNC machining, 3D printing, or molding, our system uses high-resolution cameras and AI algorithms to spot dimensional issues and surface defects.
Sensor monitoring: For advanced processes (e.g. metal printing, sheet metal bending), vibration, torque, and temperature data is captured and analyzed in real time to prevent flaws.
Full traceability: Every part comes with a digital QC report, including measurements, images, and pass/fail logs.
3. End-to-End Capabilities for All Your Prototyping Needs
Leanplans supports a wide range of processes, including:
CNC machining (3/4/5-axis)
3D printing (SLA, SLS, MJF)
Injection molding (soft and hard tooling)
Die casting, surface treatments, and assembly
Whether you’re prototyping a plastic enclosure, a complex metal part, or a full mechatronic assembly, we’ve got the tools and expertise to deliver quality, fast.
Plus, with our built-in supply chain database, we can source off-the-shelf components and focus only on the 20–30% of your project that requires custom parts — reducing your cost and lead time significantly.
4. Real Case: From CAD to Finished Part in Just 3 Days
Project: Handheld diagnostic device for a medtech startup
Goal: Create a fully functional demo unit for investor presentations — with minimal budget and time.
Traditional Process:
Quote lead time: 2–3 days
Production + shipping: 7–10 working days
Delays from manual scheduling and rework
Leanplans Solution:
Day 1 AM: Client uploads CAD files and selects materials
Day 1 PM: AI quotes instantly; client confirms order; production is scheduled
Day 2: 3D printing + QA completed
Day 3: Final assembly and courier shipping — sample delivered with full QC report
Total time: 3 business days
Cost savings: ~20% compared to conventional approach
Result: Client secured pilot funding after successful product demo
