Our Expertise

Proof of Concept
Design

We initiate by brainstorming and ideating to conceive new product concepts, defining their purpose, features, and problem-solving capabilities. We meticulously plan the design process, setting goals, specifying requirements, and outlining project scope.

Sketching and CAD Modeling

Visualizing the product's appearance and layout is vital. Initial sketches and drawings, whether done by hand or using CAD software, help us grasp the design's aesthetics. CAD software enables us to create precise three-dimensional models, ensuring a detailed understanding of the design and its components.

Analysis, Simulation, and Testing

To ensure product integrity, we conduct various simulations and analyses on the digital model, identifying and addressing issues before manufacturing. After prototyping, rigorous testing validates quality standards, functional performance, and safety compliance.

Component Bill of Material

Material selection is a crucial step. We choose materials tailored to the product's performance, durability, and cost-efficiency, considering specific functions and environments. Simultaneously, we create a dynamic Bill of Materials (BOM), listing components, both off-the-shelf and custom-designed, to be used in the product's assembly.

Design for Manufacturability

The design is refined by incorporating all components, considering ergonomics, and ensuring seamless functionality. Concurrently, we focus on manufacturability, designing parts for easy production, assembly, and maintenance for diverse manufacturing processes such as plastics, sheet metal, machined parts, weldments, etc.

Documentation and Finalization

Comprehensive documentation is created, including manufacturing detailed drawings, specifications, and assembly instructions, serving as a guide for precise production and assembly. Geometric dimensional and tolerances (GD&T) are defined and reviewed with the manufacturing supplier.

Continuous Design Improvement

Design is iterative. We continually improve and adjust it based on testing outcomes, user feedback, and real-world performance data. Through each iteration, we strive for innovation, ensuring our designs evolve to meet the dynamic needs of our users and the demands of the ever-changing landscape.

Packaging and Presentation

Crafting an appealing product presentation, including packaging, is essential for attracting customers and ensuring the product reaches them securely, complementing our comprehensive product development strategy.

Manufacturing
Support

We help you find the right vendor for your product manufacturing and setup production process. This includes developing quality management systems, implementation of inspections and testing protocols, use of statistical process control techniques to monitor and maintain product quality throughout the manufacturing process.
