German engineering firm kabkin says customers have initiated more than 100 B2B product projects through Prompt-to-Product, a platform introduced in early 2026. The company said it reached that figure without first running a broad campaign through paid media or search.

The Wuppertal company accepts descriptions of the function a customer needs a mechanical component to perform, rather than requiring a catalog selection. Requests can include sketches or photographs alongside quantities, deadlines and pricing targets. Relevant submissions receive a preliminary feasibility assessment from engineers, free of charge, within 24 hours, kabkin said.

Engineers examine factors including forces, movement and interfaces before choosing between an available product, a modified version or a new design. The resulting solution may be a hinge, a motion system, another component or an entire assembly. Customers can also commission subsequent work, including prototyping, production, quality checks and delivery worldwide.

Kabkin said the platform draws on over 15,000 kinematic and hinge solutions it has developed. The company intends to turn information from customer requests into an anonymized Demand Market Snapshot publication. Its intended users include industrial companies with limited specialist staffing and internal design resources.
