Capability
Product Design and Development
We work from an idea, sketch or written requirement and develop it into a defined product concept with a clear technical direction, a realistic architecture and a prototype plan.
Scope of work
What this service covers
Work is scoped from this list according to your requirement. Anything outside the agreed scope is stated as an exclusion in the proposal.
- Idea evaluation
- Requirement definition
- Concept development
- Product architecture
- Material selection
- Mechanism development
- Design reviews
- Prototype planning
- Design iteration
- Manufacturing preparation
How it runs
The stages this work moves through
Each engagement follows the same defined structure, scaled to the size of the project.
01
Discover
Understand the problem, application, users, constraints, timeline and intended outcome.
02
Define
Prepare requirements, technical scope, deliverables, development stages and estimated costs.
03
Design
Develop concepts, CAD models, electronics, circuitry, PCB layouts and system architecture.
04
Prototype
Produce mechanical parts, assemble electronics, program firmware and create a functional prototype.
05
Test
Evaluate fit, function, durability, usability, electronics and system performance.
06
Refine
Improve the design using test results and client feedback.
07
Produce
Prepare manufacturing files and support print-farm or low-volume production.
08
Deliver and Support
Provide the agreed prototype, documentation and continued engineering support.
Related capabilities
Often combined with
Most projects use more than one discipline. These are commonly scoped alongside this service.
