About additiv8
Built by the team that builds products.
additiv8 is the digital manufacturing arm of Idea8 — a product engineering company that designs and builds electronic products: circuit boards, enclosures, firmware, robotics, apps and cloud. For years, our 3D printing floor served one customer: our own engineers. Now it serves yours.
Why we exist
Print services shouldn't make engineers translate.
Most print bureaus speak retail: colors and coupons. Most engineering teams speak drawings: datums, fits and duty cycles. additiv8 was built to remove the translation layer — quoting, DFM and production run by people who ship products for a living.
Engineering-first
Every review, quote threshold and design rule on this platform was written by practicing product engineers.
Prototype → production
The same platform, part library and quality system carries your part from rev A to the thousandth unit.
Built for Sri Lanka
Engineering and production in Colombo, priced in rupees by part weight, delivered island-wide in 2–4 days.
The Idea8 connection
One contract from sketch to production.
Need more than parts? Idea8 designs complete products — electronics, mechanics, firmware and software. additiv8 customers get a straight line to that team when a part turns into a product.
