Product Design Service
Our holistic and integrated process allows us to support clients at every stage in the product development cycle. Our services can be categorized as following.
- Research and Planning
- Industrial Design
- Engineering Design
Research and Planning
Research and Planning involves many process such as
Contextual Studies
Understanding the environment your product will be used is critical at the start of the product design process.
This phase of the design process allows us to gather the necessary information to discover insights into the trends and technology related to your industry.
Innovation Strategy
Innovation is fundamental to securing a market opportunity and to competitors.
A development strategy built around product, market and the business needs.
Industrial Design
Industrial design involves many process such as
Conceptual Design
Concept design is about deciphering and resolving the design requirements – distilling a sketch of an idea into a viable, usable product within the commercial realities and design objectives.
During this phase the focus is specifically on the overall styling and functional detail of the product.
Prototyping
Prototyping enables us to understand how a product looks, functions and performs prior to investing in costly tooling.
Designlux recommend prototyping a range of models prior to manufacture in order to substantiate design decisions.
Engineering Design
Engineering design involves many process such as
Mechanical Engineering
Our structured engineering approach is driven by a wide breadth of experience, technical skill and creativity.
Our competency includes; mechanical system design, electro-mechanical design, detailed 3D CAD modelling, material and process selection, tolerance stacks and analysis and 2D production drawings.
Simulation
Simulation allows for going beyond the requirements of the regulations to mitigate any future risks and optimise product safety.
The time and cost to manufacture can be significantly reduced by carrying out tests during concept development and engineering to validate a design before investment in tooling and initial testing.
Product Testing & Validation
We deliver products which are robust and safe, and perform well under the rigours of anticipated use and misuse.
Meeting statutory regulation and compliance is essential, however understanding and ensuring the product performs well under the rigours of use and application is key to maintaining consumer confidence in the product and the brand.
