What does Peppertree do?
Peppertree Visions GmbH develops, designs and visualises physical products for Swiss SMEs and startups. The studio in Lucerne covers product innovation, industrial design, design for manufacturing (DfM), 3D CAD engineering, prototyping as well as 3D visualisation, animation and AR – all from a single source.
Who does Peppertree work for?
For ambitious SMEs and startups that want to develop a new physical product, make an existing product cheaper to manufacture, or present a product convincingly before it launches. Clients include Suva, Schaffner, SIGA, Refco, Thingdust, Lifehive and AureusDrive.
How long does a project take?
A typical design project takes 6 to 12 weeks, a Quick Design project 2 to 4 weeks and a visualisation project 1 to 4 weeks. Taking a completely new product from idea to series production usually takes 6 to 12 months.
I only have an idea – can you quickly show something to investors?
Yes. With Quick Design, Peppertree turns an idea into a feasible product design with photorealistic visuals and/or an interactive 3D model in 2 to 4 weeks for a fixed CHF 6,000 – for your pitch deck, crowdfunding and first customer meetings. Engineering and DfM can follow seamlessly later.
What does it cost to get started?
The project check and the intro call are free. For a well-founded assessment there is the half-day potential workshop for CHF 1,500. Startups that want to present an idea quickly get a feasible design including visuals and/or interactive 3D with Quick Design for a fixed CHF 6,000.
Can I contribute my ideas during the process?
Yes – that’s essential, not optional. Peppertree works iteratively and co-creates with you and your customers, because you know your market best.
