One
of our strengths is our flexibility. We realize that
every company is unique and each project will have its
own particular requirements. For this reason, while
we have an idealized "generic" process, we
can customize this for each customer.
Below
is a description of what we might suggest for a full-service
design cycle for a new product. The
development of any product is frequently portrayed as
a funnel. During the early days in the mouth of the
funnel, one is seeking to learn as much about the products
environment as possible and to create a diverse array
of different design directions. This helps us maximize
the opportunity for the customer. During later phases
we work with the client to systematically select and
then refine the design until we have a single completely
defined product.
For
every phase, the number one criteria that will dictate
success or failure is invariably communication. |

a description of each phase, see our page on services
DISCOVERY
- we benchma
rk competitors and immerse ourselves in your customers
world.
IDEATION
- we convert the opportunity from the first phase into sketches
of product ideas.
DESIGN
- We create detailed 3D CAD models of the design
ENGINEERING
- We create the core-side details in the model. This is usually
the most time-consuming phase.
PRODUCTION
- We follow development of prototype and production tooling. |
