Build together
Physical products are multidisciplinary by nature. Smiverk gives designers, engineers, suppliers, manufacturers and users a shared place to collaborate.
Smiverk is a Nordic name built from two Norwegian words:
to forge, shape, create and bring something into existence through skill and effort.
work, creation, craft or something that has been built.
Together, Smiverk represents the act of shaping an idea into something real.
The name reflects the reality of physical product development. Great products are rarely created by one person, one discipline or one company. They are forged through collaboration between designers, engineers, manufacturers, suppliers, researchers and the people who will eventually use them. Smiverk is the digital workspace that brings all of them together.
Smiverk helps teams move from idea to production by bringing together:
A user observation leads to a design issue.
A design issue leads to a new component revision.
A new revision is built into a prototype.
That prototype is tested and validated before production.
Physical products are multidisciplinary by nature. Smiverk gives designers, engineers, suppliers, manufacturers and users a shared place to collaborate.
Product decisions should be connected to real requirements, tests, observations and feedback — not buried inside meetings and message threads.
Every physical prototype should have a clear digital history: what it contains, how it was built, what was tested and what was learned.
Powerful product-development tools should not require every participant to become a PLM expert. Smiverk is designed to make complex work understandable and accessible.
The purpose of the platform is not simply to manage files and tasks. It is to help teams create safer, more useful, more manufacturable and more successful physical products.
Smiverk was created by Improvators.com — a team of highly skilled Norwegian vikings on a mission to improve and iterate (hence the name improvate) on the challenges hardware teams face today.
Every part. Every version. Every decision. One connected product journey.
Smiverk gives physical product teams the shared foundation they need to build with confidence — from the first idea to the final product.
