Think of us as your personal team of mad scientists and brilliant inventors, all rolled into one! OddityOps is where your amazing, off-the-wall, and downright genius ideas get to come out and play. We take your concepts and turn them into real, tangible products that you can hold in your hand. From the first spark of an idea to a finished product ready for the world, we’re with you every step of the way.

It’s a wild ride, but we’ve broken it down into easy-peasy steps:

1. The Idea Dump: You submit your brilliant idea on our website. Don’t worry, it’s super secure!

2. The Nitty-Gritty: We’ll crunch the numbers and send you a detailed quote.

3. The Frankenstein Moment: We get to work creating sketches, technical drawings, and a real-life prototype. You get to watch the magic happen!

4. Tool Time: We create all the necessary tools to manufacture your product.

5. To Infinity and Beyond!: We handle the manufacturing and can even help with licensing or getting your product into stores. Your invention is ready to take over the world!

We’re a quirky bunch of designers, engineers, and dreamers who are passionate about bringing ideas to life. We believe that every great product starts with a little bit of oddity!

What makes us special? We’re backed by a group that’s been in business for years, with many proven records of taking ideas from concept all the way to retail shelves. Our success stories speak for themselves – you can find many of them right here on our site! We’ve helped bring products to market that have sold from hundreds of thousands to an incredible million pieces worldwide. Not too shabby for a bunch of “oddball” inventors, right?

We love a good challenge! We’ve worked on everything from one-touch jar openers to… well, we can’t reveal all our secrets! Generally, we’re open to most consumer product ideas.

However, we tend to steer clear of pharmaceuticals, weapons, or anything that requires a special license to produce. If you’re not sure if your idea is a good fit, just ask! We’re always happy to chat.

We get it. Your idea is your baby. That’s why we have a rock-solid, iron-clad, super-duper Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) built right into our submission process. The moment you submit your idea, it’s protected. We’re in the business of making dreams come true, not stealing them. Your secrets are safe with us!

Nope! You don’t need a patent to get started with us. In fact, we often recommend holding off on the patent process until your idea is more developed. Why? Because your idea will likely evolve as we work on it. We’ll help you refine and improve it, and you’ll want to patent the final, perfected version. We can even refer you to some excellent patent attorneys when the time is right.

Don’t panic! It’s actually pretty common. First, let’s figure out if it’s really the same. Often, a similar product can be a good thing – it means there’s a market for your idea! We can help you research the competition and figure out how to make your product even better, more unique, and more appealing to customers. Think of it as a chance to one-up the other guy!

That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? The truth is, it depends. Every idea is different, and the cost will vary based on the complexity of your project. But don’t worry, we’re not going to hit you with a surprise bill. After you submit your idea, we’ll provide you with a detailed, no-obligation quote that breaks down all the costs. We believe in being upfront and transparent, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into.

Haha, not quite a secret handshake, but it is a way to make sure everyone feels safe and secure. An escrow payment is like having a neutral third party hold onto the money until certain milestones are met. You put the funds into the escrow account, and we only get paid when we’ve completed the agreed-upon work. It’s a way to protect both you and us, and it ensures that we’re both committed to the project. Think of it as a digital handshake!

Great question! The timeline depends on the complexity and difficulty of your project, but here’s the scoop: normally, it’s a few weeks turnaround time to get your first prototype done. Simple ideas might zip through in a few weeks, while more complex inventions might need the full range to get everything just right. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial consultation based on your specific project. We’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way, so you’ll always know what’s happening and when to expect the next exciting development. We promise, it’ll be worth the wait!

Absolutely! We stand behind our work. If we can’t deliver what we promised, we will refund your money. Our promise is usually a set of specifications for the prototype – things like size, torque, RPM, functionality, and other technical requirements we agree on upfront. We work closely with you at every stage to make sure we’re hitting those targets. Our goal is to make sure there are no surprises and that the final product meets all the specifications we’ve committed to. Your satisfaction is our success!

Your prototype will be made from the most suitable materials to test its form, fit, and function. This could be anything from 3D-printed plastics to machined metal parts. And yes, you can often choose the color! We want your prototype to be as close to the real thing as possible, so we’ll work with you to select the right materials and finishes. Just let us know what you have in mind!

The number of prototypes will depend on your project, but we typically create at least one fully functional prototype for you to test and approve. And of course, you can show it off! We want you to be proud of your creation. Just be careful who you show it to before you have patent protection in place. We can give you some tips on how to share your invention safely.

We’ve got your back! Once you’ve approved the prototype, we can handle the entire manufacturing process for you. We’ll work with our network of trusted manufacturers to produce your product at the highest quality and at a competitive price. You can sit back, relax, and watch your invention come to life.

Absolutely! We’re not just about making things; we’re about making things successful. We can help you with a variety of post-production services, including packaging design, marketing materials, and even connecting you with potential licensees or retailers. We want to see your invention succeed, and we’ll do everything we can to help you get there.
