Make it a reality Our Product Development
Research and development is a lengthy process, but it doesn’t have to be scary - let’s break it down.
If you’ve got an idea for a product, but you’re not sure where to turn next, or the processes involved before you take the plunge – we can help. There are many phases involved in product development, so we’ve shared here a little more about each of one of them, to explain what we do, how we do it, and what it means for you.
Market
Research
A fundamental research stage to explore how your end customers behave as well as their wants and needs for your target market.
01 / 15
Conceptual
Development
The starting stage of all idea creation. It can take many forms from concept sketches and renders to basic block models. It’s not about pretty pictures, it’s about using the right methodology to convey your vision of the product.
02 / 15
Solidworks
It’s the 3D CAD software we use to support our detailed design for manufacture, run simulations and develop the design to launch. Think of it as the computerised version of putting pen to paper.
03 / 15
Simulation
Analysis
Before prototyping and initial testing, we use simulation software to validate design robustness & performance. This ensures confidence in the design before investment into prototyping and manufacturing.
04 / 15
Prototyping
Services
Our onsite SLA & FDM facilities and external suppliers allow us to prototype quickly in materials to replicate production intent, so that functionality and performance testing can be validated. This supports our design-build-test ethos.
05 / 15
Detailed Design
for Manufacture
It’s a continuous stage throughout the journey that ensures the product can be manufactured as intended, delivers on performance specification, complies with certification and meets key cosmetic requirements.
06 / 15
Testing
& certification
A vital stage to ensure product performance throughout development. We have a design-build-test ethos to continually validate both product and process against specification and certification.
07 / 15
Lean
Engineering
This is a continuous improvement process to enhance project and workplace efficiency. We work in this manner to ensure project capital is optimised and development delivery is as efficient as possible.
08 / 15
Manufacturing
Guidance
Our aim is to support and guide your project to a suitable supply base capable of delivering manufacturing expectations. We will help you to build a strong working relationship with our chosen suppliers and partners.
09 / 15
Supply Chain
Support
Managing multiple suppliers can take up a lot of your valuable time. Our UK and overseas resources can support you in the process of driving suppliers to launch.
10 / 15
Production Engineering
Solutions
A key stage to ensure production consistency, robustness & delivery. We utilise a wide range of techniques to establish appropriate methods of assembly, quality control and quality assurance. These techniques are defined to improve production yield, reduce consumer returns and ensure the quality of your delivered product.
11 / 15
R&D Agility
Integration
We can support your internal R&D team if applicable, offering advice and expertise for success and stage gate improvement.
12 / 15
Onsite or
Overseas Support
Flexibility is important. We can support in the office, remotely and overseas to ensure your project runs as smoothly as possible.
13 / 15
Launch
The last stage to get your product to market, supporting your market launch materials such as high res renderings, product photography, CGI animations and illustrations.
14 / 15
Memorable
Marketing
From logo to launch and beyond, our in-house marketing experts can support you in the pre-launch and post-launch phase through strategic, creative and digital solutions that take your brand to the next level or promote your product to market.
