Ideas don't countuntil theyexist.

Eonix is a research and engineering company in Kandy, Sri Lanka. We design, print, wire and code things, from field sensors to App Store apps, then put them to work. This journal is the record.

01 — Thesis · No handoffs

Most ideas die in the handoff: researcher to maker, maker to coder, lab to field. We don't hand off. Research, making and code happen under one roof, on one bench.

i. Research

Questions worth a prototype.

Every thread has to end in something you can hold or run.

ii. Making

A print farm, in-house.

FDM and SLA, six materials, parts shipped island-wide and abroad.

iii. Code

Built in the open, shipped to the App Store.

Public repositories, and native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

02 — Making

From fileto form.

Cross-section of a 3D-printed electronics enclosure, printed layer by layer, then fitted with a circuit board and a gasket.

Step 01 · File

It starts as a file. Or a photo and two numbers.

Send an STL or CAD model. If you don't have one, send photos and dimensions and we'll design the part.

Step 02 · Print

Layer by layer, on our own farm.

We check the geometry, pick the material for what the part must survive, and quote before you pay anything.

Step 03 · Part

A finished part, not a print.

Fitted, quality-checked and shipped by tracked courier, island-wide or worldwide.

Out there:Sri Lankan fields.

The problem

Field tools are built for farms nothing like ours.

Instruments that measure soil, water and climate are imported, expensive, and fail in tropical heat, monsoon humidity and power cuts.

What we're building

Low-cost nodes, engineered here.

Sensor nodes in printed ASA housings, designed around local crops, local weather and smallholder budgets. They'll be open and repairable.

Status · 2026

From the bench to the field.

In research and prototyping now, with field pilots planned for 2026.
