Pricing

Yes, the designs are yours to patent - ZipBuild is just the tool.

ZipBuild takes your idea and turns it into a full, editable, real project. All core parts and prices are linked to build it, with engineer connection tools so you don't need to do it alone.

ZipBuild gets suggested parts and collects pricing for you, and displays the estimated total cost to build in every project.

On all paid plans, you own the IP rights entirely. All paid projects start as Private, visible only to you and invited collaborators. Toggle to Public anytime to allow public visibility and use your idea to improve our AI systems.

Check out the Templates to see a few good examples of how to best build a project with ZipBuild! Consider your project from multiple angles, what must it be like to satisfy your users? Write the style, shape, and capabilities you envision. Select matching Focus cards, and modify as needed in the Project Planner until you get the perfect product.

All ZipBuild projects are editable with our AI systems - open your project and use the "Edit Product" to quickly make adjustments, or consider making a new project with more specific Focus and Style cards.

Absolutely - ZipBuild makes it easy to create a product concept, connect with an engineer to make your prototype, and send it to Kickstarter for crowdfunding your vision!

Invite engineers from supported sites directly from your dashboard, or enter the email of a someone you would like to join the project directly. Tell our system AI what you want, and watch it modify plans to align with your vision.

Free Public projects train our AI anonymously to improve generations for everyone—no personal info shared. All paid Private projects are excluded from analysis.

AI handles 80% of tweaks via 'Remake' button—focus, style, BOM changes. For hardware-specific (e.g., enclosure sizing), loop in collaborators or our mod tools. Unlimited on Inventor; 50/mo on Starter.
