PRODUCT DESIGN SPECIFICATION PROJECT BRIEFING

THE START OF THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The best way to start a project is to fully understand the problem. This is why we welcome a face-to-face initial meeting with our clients, to discuss your idea and the expectations for your project.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”no_bg” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #FBFBFB), color-stop(50%, #E3E3E3), color-stop(100%, #C2C2C2));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_image_size=”cover” bg_img_attach=”fixed” parallax_sense=”30″ animation_type=”h” horizontal_animation=”left-animation” vertical_animation=”top-animation” animation_repeat=”repeat” parallax_content_sense=”30″ fadeout_start_effect=”30″ bg_override=”0″][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Microscope icon representative of research and analysis done in early phases of product design development[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

RESEARCH & ANALYSIS

MARKET RESEARCH AND FEASIBILITY

We investigate the key issues that may influence the product design specifications: from marketing analysis to the usage cycle, we explore the core factors that will help shape your product.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”no_bg” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #FBFBFB), color-stop(50%, #E3E3E3), color-stop(100%, #C2C2C2));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_image_size=”cover” bg_img_attach=”fixed” parallax_sense=”30″ animation_type=”h” horizontal_animation=”left-animation” vertical_animation=”top-animation” animation_repeat=”repeat” parallax_content_sense=”30″ fadeout_start_effect=”30″ bg_override=”0″][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Icon of pencil and compass drawing circle indicative of product design specification[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

PRODUCT CONCEPT DESIGN

STUDY OF THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF THE IDEA

We work together to produce a range of innovative concept designs. These are then presented to you in an interim product design and development review, allowing you to choose in which direction your product will progress.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”no_bg” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #FBFBFB), color-stop(50%, #E3E3E3), color-stop(100%, #C2C2C2));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_image_size=”cover” bg_img_attach=”fixed” parallax_sense=”30″ animation_type=”h” horizontal_animation=”left-animation” vertical_animation=”top-animation” animation_repeat=”repeat” parallax_content_sense=”30″ fadeout_start_effect=”30″ bg_override=”0″][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Light bulb icon on computer screen symbolic of CAD usage in new product development process[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

CAD DEVELOPMENT

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN

Once the form and function is confirmed, we can develop the technical details of your product. This includes validating the manufacturing feasibility of the product, the system design and the internal component integration.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”no_bg” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #FBFBFB), color-stop(50%, #E3E3E3), color-stop(100%, #C2C2C2));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_image_size=”cover” bg_img_attach=”fixed” parallax_sense=”30″ animation_type=”h” horizontal_animation=”left-animation” vertical_animation=”top-animation” animation_repeat=”repeat” parallax_content_sense=”30″ fadeout_start_effect=”30″ bg_override=”0″][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Light bulb icon from patent advice page[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

PRODUCT DESIGN VISUALIZATION

FROM CAD TO 3D RENDER

Through our product design consultancy, we produce photorealistic images, professionally illustrating the design and function of your product. This is delivered as a high quality visualization package, providing you with professional presentation material with which to approach industry.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”no_bg” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #FBFBFB), color-stop(50%, #E3E3E3), color-stop(100%, #C2C2C2));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);background: linear-gradient(top,#FBFBFB 0%,#E3E3E3 50%,#C2C2C2 100%);” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_image_size=”cover” bg_img_attach=”fixed” parallax_sense=”30″ animation_type=”h” horizontal_animation=”left-animation” vertical_animation=”top-animation” animation_repeat=”repeat” parallax_content_sense=”30″ fadeout_start_effect=”30″ bg_override=”0″][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Wind-E-Lite prototype made with assistance from Innovate Design[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Visual prototype

This type of prototype design demonstrates the overall shape and size of the product and does not usually feature any working parts. The materials will not be the materials that would be used if the product were to be mass produced. This type of product prototype can either be left as the raw material or painted to represent the finished product.

Proof-of-concept prototype

This type of prototype product demonstrates the key functionality and resolves the main technical aspects of the design. It is not intended to look like the final product and will make use of existing ‘off-the-shelf’ components, where possible. A proof of concept prototype is unlikely to be made from production grade materials.

Presentation prototype

This type of product prototype demonstrates the key functionality and also provides a representation of how the mass-produced product would appear. This type of prototype will largely be built from bespoke parts; however ‘off-the-shelf’ parts will still be used, where appropriate. It is likely that materials close to the production grade will be used, however, in situations where this would not be economically viable for a one-off prototype, substitutes may be used.
