Partners in innovation

You bring your amazing product idea to us. We turn it into a clear, buildable path from first sketch to working prototype.

Prototype line

Your idea is ready to move.

Bring us the spark. We turn it into parallel engineering workstreams, join the pieces into a working prototype, verify it, and prepare the next step toward a real product.

Open the guided 3D process when your device is ready.

About us

Budapest R&D and prototyping since 2004.

Datastart Kft. brings software, electronics, robotics, mechanics, and manufacturing into one coordinated prototype line. The company is comfortable moving between code, circuits, CAD, materials, test rigs, and field constraints.

We work for EU project teams, industrial operators, procurement teams, and founders who need prototypes that survive real environments. Customer care, robust engineering, and a willingness to leave the comfort zone are the operating principles.

Founded: 2004
Leadership: Peter Kopias, CEO
