Innovative Design & Engineering

Our company is able to take an idea at any stage of development and carry out the R&D necessary to determine whether or not the idea can be made into a viable, profitable product.

We are then able to translate the work into a prototype, develop the most suitable process for manufacture and set up the necessary infrastructure to produce the finished product. We have managed the development of products on every level, from the smallest jobs for individuals to multimillion-dollar international projects.

Our innovation methods can be loosely described as following 5 basic steps:

1. Understand the client’s aims, the market’s needs and the technology and identify the possible constraints from the outset. The constraints are queried and challenged during the life of the project but we believe that it is of paramount importance to have accurate perceptions.

2. Observe how people use similar currently available products and identify the short comings. Select a number of users as the external design review.

3. Visualise the new concept of the product. Brain-storming the many possible solutions is possibly the most intensive aspect of the project. Use computer rendering and/or simulation plus rapid prototyping. We believe that the ‘touch and feel’ of a new product is very important for us and even more important for the client.

4. Assess, Evaluate, Refine the prototype. We do not get too attached to the idea frozen in the first prototype: the product will change. We firmly believe that no idea is so good that it cannot be improved upon so we plan for subsequent improvement. Our external associates will assist with the incremental improvements to the product design

5. Implementation is possibly the most challenging aspect; we believe that true innovation will frequently lead to innovative processes and solutions. We follow our product from its inception to manufacture.
