Product design
Manufacturing stage: ready for mass production
This is product design for a product that is about to be manufactured. We apply design for manufacturability, check the design against performance and safety requirements and look for cost savings, so it can be produced efficiently and consistently at scale. For early ideas and concepts, there is an innovation-stage version of this service.
Looking for the innovation-stage version? Product design, Innovation
Who it’s for
- You have a working concept or prototype and need to turn it into a design a factory can produce.
- Your manufacturer has flagged parts of the design that are hard or expensive to make.
- You need to confirm the product meets its performance and safety requirements before production.
What you get
- Design for manufacturability (DFM), applying design principles that make the product easier and more cost-effective to manufacture.
- Design validation and analysis to check that the product meets its performance and safety requirements.
- Cost analysis and optimization of the design.
Not included
- Implementation of the recommendations, which is quoted separately if you want us to do it.
- Any success fee, which is agreed up front in your proposal.
- Third-party costs (for example safety testing, certification or prototype parts).
Third-party costs, taxes and expenses are billed separately unless your proposal states otherwise.
