The inventor's best friend, helping you design success!
Inspiration, tenacity and results.
Product design and engineering is a journey which moves through four specific phases: discovery, concepts, design/analysis, and prototype/testing. The realizations and careful decisions made in each phase define the next, with emphasis on "built-in quality" at every stage, and “reach back” where product enrichment justifies it.
After 11 years of product engineering and development in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, we're expanding our expertise as an independent consulting firm. We're available to support your product vision through discovery, concepts, design, and testing. Fluent in solid modeling and analysis, design and manufacturing optimization, built-in quality, product life-cycle management, continuous improvement, mature product refinement, and more.
We're agile and available, creative and results oriented. With a keen focus on safety, compliance, customer satisfaction and attention to detail, we will be tenacious partners in your quest to effectively bring your product to market.
This earliest phase has different names, but we use “discovery” because it emphasizes the unknown. Here we work with clients to define the problem clearly, before solving it. It’s harder than it sounds. We assemble and prioritize simple problem statements, which may begin to suggest a product brand, trade name, or personality.
Here we begin to solve the problem, using analogous products as springboards with 3D imaging to support, expand and communicate our ideas. Through this process, we also capture and document the product’s functional and expressive goals.
Now we dive into more precise imagery coupled with engineering. Both the products static and moving parts can be analyzed in numerous ways once accurately modeled in 3D. Typically in solid modeling, a product consists of parts which come together as an assembly. This discipline helps inform the optimal manufacturing strategy.
As engineering is a mathematical approximation of reality, all products need real world testing. We work with clients to cost effectively fashion their product prototype and run it through a series of pre-defined tests.
A robust product requires design, creation, and visualization. We produce, develop, and maintain 3D models, 2D drawings, finite-element analysis and more, using programs such as AutoCAD, ProE/Creo, and Solidworks.
A product design means nothing if it can't be made or manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively. With more than a decade experience in production environments, we masterfully optimize the fabrication of design.
Anyone can spend a few weeks churning out a product, then spend years correcting the mistakes made along the way. Our design methodology ensures that the highest quality standards are met every step of the journey.
A product's existence needs to be distinctly controlled and documented in its design, manufacturing and marketing environments. We handle all aspects of this important component which leads to product maturity.
It is emphatically important to be attentive to those who are manufacturing the product. We implement a continuous loop of reporting, rectifying and reestablishing the design with manufacturers to attain product excellence.
A hot product today could easily become a thing of the past tomorrow. We study market trends, monitor the competition, and collect customer feedback from which we can keep products polished and ahead of the curve.
