Additive
When you need speed, low quantities, or low tooling costs 3D printing can be the best solution. We offer a wide array of options and technologies and will find the best solution for your needs.
Product Development Plan
Explore what is possible, what is realistic, and what will be the most critical focus areas of the development effort. We'll assemble the right people from our team to engage with yours for intensive creative and technical sessions to define the path. Our place or yours?
Engineering Sprints
We execute design and engineering in sprints, or small "chunks", to ensure that our work is aligned with what our clients need. This means close collaboration, fast engineering and design execution, and then more collaboration to review results and decide on next steps.
Product Development
01.
Research & Strategy
Successful product development efforts start with a solid strategy. This means understanding the competition, the user, and the channel to market so that the heavy lifting of development is focused in the right way.
02.
Industrial Design
Your product needs to be designed with a look and feel compatible with the way it will be used and in line with what your target market demands. This includes user interface and user experience (UI/UX) as well as material choice, textures, ergonomics, and shaping.
03.
Mechanical Engineering
Durability, manufacturing processes compatibility, enclosure design, thermal management, and mechanism design are in the realm of mechanical engineering. Our mechanical team focuses on reliable functionality balanced with manufacturing cost.
04.
Electronics Development
Circuit board design, component selection, sensor integration, and power systems drive electronics functionality. Our electronics development team has built everything from complex IoT products to ultra-rugged agricultural products.
05.
Software Development
Smart devices need to work with an app. Whether PC, iOS, Android, or otherwise, our software developers work in parallel with the broader project team. As the hardware progresses, we develop the firmware that controls the embedded hardware as well as the accompanying applications.
06.
Prototyping
Prototyping throughout development is a key part of successful projects. Our in-house prototyping shop builds prototypes for functional validation, user testing, video production, and even trade shows.
07.
Testing and Certifications
The harsh reality is that many products need specific regulatory certifications to be sold in specific markets. Our engineers have managed testing and certification for UL, CE, FCC, MIL-STD, and more.
Manufacturing
Short Run
For speed and initial production runs less than 500 units, sometimes soft tooling is the best path. For small production runs, we can offer in-house assembly and QA.
Turnkey Manufacturing
Our network of trusted manufacturers may be a fit for you, or we can help you identify and vet capable new contract manufacturing partners.
