TO THE BUILDING KIT BUYER – Welcome to the DDinno DIY Family!


It's great that you are considering acquiring a DDinno building kit – you are making a durable and cost-effective choice! …Or perhaps you have already made it. Our BUILDING KITS offer a unique opportunity to build a product/device that perfectly suits your needs.

This section is dedicated to you, the future or current owner of a BUILDING KIT.

1. Why choose a DDinno DIY Building Kit?

  • Cost-effectiveness: Save compared to ready-made machines. The labor component remains with you, which minimizes overall costs.

  • Quality and durability: The kits include precisely laser-cut plate parts, designed to enable easy manufacturing assembly and a high-quality, durable end product (part dimensional accuracy, alignment pins, correctness and dimensional accuracy of assembly, strength dimensioning, material choices, manufacturing documents/guidance, assembly support…).

  • Learning experience: By assembling it yourself, you will learn the machine's structure and operating principles thoroughly. This will also help you in maintenance and possible repairs.

  • Joy of creation: The rewarding feeling of assembling and seeing the results of your own work.

2. What is needed to manufacture a DDinno product: BUILDING KIT, laser cuts, and parts from the procurement list

  • BUILDING KIT: Arrangement for acquiring laser cuts, all manufacturing-related documents, instructions, WA (WhatsApp) community, personal manufacturing support…

  • Laser Cuts: All necessary laser-cut plate parts from which the functional parts of the machine are constructed. See drawings: P-prefixed parts are included.

  • Parts from the procurement list: A list of all necessities for manufacturing the device. S-prefixed parts (procurement list/manufacturing drawing) of all parts that you need to acquire yourself (e.g., hydraulic cylinders, bolts, bearings, etc.). (Note! DDinno discounts).

3. What is expected of you – and what do you need?

  • Basic tools and facilities: The kits are designed to be assembled in hobby workshops. You will need welding equipment, an angle grinder, a drill, and other general metalworking hand tools. A metal lathe is not required.

  • Welding expertise: The plate parts are welded together. Ensure you have sufficient welding skills.

  • Care and precision: Follow the drawings and instructions carefully. Precision will reward you with the functionality of the finished product.

  • Safety: Always work safely and use appropriate protective equipment. Remember that as the buyer and assembler, you are solely responsible for the safety of the work and the functionality and use of the finished product. DD innovations Oy is not responsible for the safety or functionality of the manufactured product. However, the design aims for solutions and instructions that lead to safe and functional results. When the assembler understands full responsibility, it also contributes to safe solutions.

4. How to prepare for manufacturing

  • Read and familiarize yourself: Start by thoroughly reviewing the manufacturing documents (manufacturing instructions, drawings, procurement list…). Get an overview of the project.

  • Acquire missing parts: Order or acquire the parts listed in the procurement list (S-parts).

  • Organize: Sort the laser-cut parts and ensure there are no deficiencies. There is no listing for laser-cut parts. Go through the parts with the drawings. At the same time, you will familiarize yourself with and go through the assembly.

  • Start assembly from something easy: Proceed with the assembly according to the instructions in the manufacturing documents.

5. Support and assistance during assembly

We don't leave you alone! Although it's a DIY kit, we are here to support you:

  • Detailed drawings: They are designed to be clear and help you at every stage.

  • Contact us! If anything remains unclear, you encounter unexpected challenges, or just want to confirm something, feel free to contact us.

  • Join the builders' community: We recommend joining the product-specific WA (WhatsApp) group ("DDinno grapple builders", "DDinnoAK", "Klapiks"…). In these groups, you can share experiences, ask questions, get tips from other builders, and, if you wish, participate in the development of DDinno products.

IMPORTANT: Remember that safety in construction and machine use is of paramount importance. Always carefully read and follow all instructions. You are responsible for safety.

We wish you a successful building project and joy with your finished DDinno device! DD innovations Oy Rights to changes reserved.
