Instar was created to engineer Australia’s rich industry knowledge into new commercial products.
We’re big believers in Australia’s design, manufacturing, and innovation capabilities. Australian manufacturing is the unsung hero of our national economy.
But how do we convert our new ideas into physical products? How do we test our inventions before going into commercial production?
Instar was created to overcome this problem. Our expertise engineering and product commercialisation get your ideas developed into a market ready product sooner.

Meet the founder, Sam Evans PhD MIEAust
I have walked in your shoes with product development. As a technical founder of an engineering start-up (2018-2021) I know the process of transforming an invention into a commercial product through to first sales.
Throughout my 10 year career, I have engineered more than one dozen products for six different Australian manufacturers. Projects I have led and co-led total $2.7M in funding.
