How we work

Four stages, from proof of concept to production.

Case study: the Eco Soapr soap shredder. Join at any step. Each phase has its own estimate and cap, so you decide how far we go.

See how we work →
  1. Eco Soapr proof of concept: rollers, motor and bare wiring on the bench1Proof of conceptA bare rig that proves the riskiest part works: motor, rollers and controls.
  2. See-through CAD of the Eco Soapr gear train, cutters and electronics2Engineering unitThe full mechanism in CAD: gear train, cutters, electronics and tolerances.
  3. Eco Soapr final render beside the high-fidelity built prototype3Design unitThe final look as a render, then a high-fidelity prototype that looks and works like the product.
  4. Eco Soapr in its retail packaging4ProductionTooling, suppliers and retail packaging for the mass-produced unit.

Why Flores exists

“At MakerBot, Stryker and ULC Robotics I kept seeing good companies stuck between hiring too early, managing freelancers or paying big-firm overhead. I started Flores Engineering to fix that.”
