Design & engineering
By bringing design constraints and engineering constraints together, we optimize mechanical and physical properties as well as manufacturing processes — from the very first sketch, and according to your priorities.
Discover →At Polytechnia, you are supported at every stage, from the most specific need to the most cross-disciplinary project. Our priority: guaranteeing seamless consistency and constant fluidity between every step of your project.
The market separates those who advise from those who build. Polytechnia was built to erase that line: one structure, at the intersection of the consulting firm and the engineering office, where strategy is written with the very people who design, simulate and manufacture. Trained in the adaptability of Arts et Métiers engineering, we go from business model to test bench without ever changing hands: a rare continuity that gives your projects their speed and coherence.
By bringing design constraints and engineering constraints together, we optimize mechanical and physical properties as well as manufacturing processes — from the very first sketch, and according to your priorities.
Discover →From component selection to the integration and programming of control boards, we design lean, reliable embedded systems.
Discover →CFD, acoustics, thermal, vibration, fatigue, static, dynamic: we validate and optimize your designs through computation.
Discover →From bespoke software to cloud platforms, we build web and mobile applications and artificial intelligence to make the most of your data and drive your systems.
Discover →From proof of concept to working prototype, we bring your projects to life through a range of manufacturing processes matched to your technical requirements.
Discover →A good product is not enough: it has to meet its market and turn a profit. We support you on product strategy, business model and market positioning, to turn your innovations into commercial reality.
Discover →“I want a silent desk fan.” From this simple sentence, we built a turnkey business.

We work mostly with open-source software. What you invest goes straight into your project instead of disappearing into expensive licences. As a result, you are also free to use, share and reuse every deliverable and every piece of data across your organisation — commercially included — with no extra cost and no subscription to take out.
Your project depends neither on a vendor's pricing, nor on its commercial strategy, nor on its survival. The formats are open: your files stay readable and can be picked up by whoever you choose.
Your confidential information never travels to a third-party vendor's cloud: it stays under your sole control. And in the specific cases where your business demands it, access to the source code lets us tailor the tool directly to your own constraints.
Our tools cost nothing to acquire: you pay for engineering, not for software subscriptions. On a short project as on a long study, our tooling never enters your budget.
Some clients are tied to a particular software environment. We can work with proprietary suites and deliver in your formats — the licence is then funded by you.
