Wattage

An online platform that makes creating hardware easy.

Wattage is a new approach in building personal electronics. One that eliminates the complexity of building hardware, so anyone can create beautifully designed, internet-connected products with nothing more than a browser and their imagination. The core of their platform is a WebGL-based product builder that makes creating hardware as simple as drag & drop. Various components such as buttons, sensors, lights, speakers, or screens can be easily added to any surface and positioned wherever you like. The device can be made larger or smaller, and you can select from a number of materials for the enclosure. Once complete, your virtual device is converted into a physical product. The parametrically-created enclosure is fabricated using a combination of laser cutters and 3D printers, and along with the various components, everything is packed and shipped, all for a reasonable price. With Wattage, customers can build, share, or remix hardware products in a way that hasn't been possible before.
