Product Design Development

Phase 1 - Problem Definition

Design Brief - An accurate product design brief minimises development costs and lead time to implementation. The brief provides an opportunity to insure project fit into an overall business strategy.

Phase 2 - Creative Design

Creative Concepts- Ideas will be presented exploring features, structure, distinctive form and appearance to create a unique design. Sufficient detail is defined to ensure that concept ideas can be realised effectively.

Design Development- Favoured ideas are integrated into one design with resolution of all engineering details. For products, 3D solid model files and/or 2D reference drawings with all necessary specifications for prototyping are completed.

Phase 3 - Engineering

• Value Engineering
• Engineering detailing
• Manufacturing Specifications
• Prototypes, Models & Test Rigs
• Performance Testing
• Product Implementation
• Statutory Approvals

It is imperative to get the engineering details right for product success. Material and manufacturing process selection, clever detailing, parts reduction and design for assembly speed contribute to profitability.

Phase 4 - Manufacturing

• Co-ordination and Liaison
• Low cost Chinese manufacturing
• Component sourcing
• Design and supply
• Small & large production runs
• Project management

Low-cost Chinese Manufacturing

We have extensive experience in organizing and dealing with product manufacture in China. With the continuing trend in globalisation, companies are forced to manufacture products to particular price points. We can provide recommendations about Chinese manufacturers or organize and control complete product manufacture.
