Overall Product Development Process

With our training and experience, we can help you with all phases of your product development process.

Conceptual Process

We have the tools and expertise to quickly develop your ideas and concepts into virtual models to propose, discuss, and study.

Design Process

Ideas are now converted to an actual model, starting with primary components, and additional components as needed to layout the design intent. This step verifies how product will store, move, and look during all the motion. When done all components will be defined and fit together.

Design Validation Process

Testing for failure, bending, interference between components, or other analysis will be done now (after the part dimensions and fit) to see if the part sizes and load carrying capabilities are adequate. Adjustments and optimization to the components or parts will be reflected in the models.

Prototype Process

Next the preparation of actual working drawings of all components can be produced so vendors will be able to manufacture the prototype. From the drawings, quotes on each part can be requested from the vendors, and a cost for the prototype can be more accurately determined.

The machinist, mold maker, etc. can now complete and assemble the prototype from the drawings. This process typically requires meetings with vendors to optimize the design and further reduce the cost of manufacture.
