Engineering ideas
Design, engineering, prototyping, testing and product development — from idea to working hardware.
A different kind of engineering company
MVented is an Italian design and prototyping company, founded in 2022 by an engineering team with decades of experience in unmanned systems integration.
Start with a bare idea or a defined path: we take it from there, through requirements and a tested prototype, all the way to industrialization.
Our strong point: we’re a small team, and an entirely technical one — the people who design are the people who build and test. Any problems surface early and get fixed straight away.
From concept to prototype, and beyond
From low-level mechanical and electronic design to complex system integration.
Product development
From concept to a product ready for manufacturing — new designs and customisation of existing ones.
Mechanical engineering
Components, mechanisms, structures and complex assemblies.
Electronics
From circuit design to integrated hardware: PCBs, sensors and wiring.
Prototyping and manufacturing
Every process under one roof, or close by: 3D printing, CNC, sheet metal, PCBs and assembly, through our own shop and a tight network of partners.
System integration & testing
Mechanical, electronic and digital subsystems brought together and verified as one.
Drones and UAS
Design, engineering, integration and flight testing for complete unmanned platforms, conventional and unconventional.
From challenge to working systems
Every project follows its own path. The principle stays the same: keep thinking, making and testing as close together as possible.
Task
It starts with a challenge, however clear or open it is.
Define
Objectives, requirements, constraints: what the solution has to achieve.
Explore
Architectures, technologies and materials compared to find the right approach.
Engineer
A detailed design, ready to become hardware.
Prototype
Prototypes and parts made and assembled in-house.
Test
Performance measured in real conditions, including flight where applicable.
Iterate
If needed, results go back into the design until the solution works.
Deliver
A working result, ready for its next stage.
The process isn’t linear. Build, test, learn, redesign: we handle it all. The shorter the loop, the faster the solution evolves.
Trusted by technology-driven companies
From single engineering assignments to complete product development.
It started with a cube
MVented began with the Afterlife Cube: a Rubik’s Cube that starts completely blank, with tiles that light up only when they reach the right face. We designed it, prototyped it, tested it and took it towards industrial production, raising €91,384 from 420 backers on Kickstarter.
The Afterlife Cube adventure remains an important part of MVented today — a living product that evolved through development and refinement, now facing industrialization challenges, while reflecting the same mindset that drives everyday our engineering work.
Different projects, same mindset.
