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.
