Before we put pen to paper or space mouse to CAD, we will ask a load of questions prior to completing further research into your target markets, product life-cycles, usage requirements and specialist details such as Patents and Intellectual Property.

This way we ensure that every project we work on fulfils all of your exact requirements.

From our experience the best results are achieved from a comprehensive understanding of your product requirements.

However you've thought of you idea, we can help you to make it a reality.

Our usual process starts with sketching out ideas, noting mechanical constraints and styling cues to fully explore the extents of the design. Then straight away we switch over to 3D modelling in the latest version of Solidworks or Modo. This way we know every concept we produce is fully manufacturable and hits all of your requirements.

Starting at a very early stage in the design process we take into account product usability and product styling. At this stage we deliver several concepts fully exploring the potential for your ideas.

Taking time to think about material choice, colour and finish we pride ourselves on delivering great looking product which looks very similar to our initial concepts.

A continuous process. From initial conception we’ll ensure the designs we deliver are manufacturable, and assembly friendly, even liaising with the factories to discuss ideas. We run through several virtual testing process’s in CAD to make sure each part is optimised and test 3D printed parts for fit function and ease of assembly.

design is a constant - We apply design from initial idea all the way through to product launch and beyond

3D printing is an exploding market with many different techniques elbowing to get supremacy

We only use the best rapid prototyping vendors, so we can guarantee the use of the latest technology model printing technique and material aimed specifically at each project's needs, at the best price. This means we can offer everything from a proof of concept prototype to full aesthetic marketing model.

However there is so much more that 3D printing can offer, we can also help with rapid tooling techniques, 3D Scanning, even offering small batch production runs of components. We can usually organise the prototypes for free - you only pay the rapid prototype agency fee’s.

We understand that not everything was designed in 3D CAD and that sometimes shaping things by hand to get a product just right is really important. This sometimes causes a bit of a headache integrating parts into a seamless product.

This is why we offer reverse engineering from physical product to 3D CAD. We can either use one of our preferred suppliers using cutting edge technology to 3D scan your product or go ‘old skool’ and recreate your product using more traditional techniques.

We understand that for a product to be successful it also has to be commercial.

Built into our design process from a very early stage we work within your budgets. Using several techniques we analyse our designs to optimise material selection and usage.

We have an in-depth knowledge of many tooling techniques, meaning we design parts to the right criteria from the beginning of the design process. We liaise with key suppliers and tool makers every step of the way ensuring that the parts come out to the correct specification.

We aim to make product manufacturable with the simplest tooling, keeping set up and unit costs low and giving the best quality parts.

Although we start to think about manufacturability from the very first concept we constantly evaluate designs to improve on manufacturing times and process.

Being based in the heart of the Yangtze manufacturing district allows us to keep a close eye on product manufacture.

We can also save you time by evaluating samples in our China office, giving direct feedback via video link.

Through every stage of the product lifecycle we are here to help, from initial concept through to product evaluation and production quality control.

Spending the majority of our time in Beijing local time we maximise communication between you and the factory whilst also being available during office hours globally.

With fluent Chinese and english speakers in the office we ensure nothing gets lost in translation!

We can even help you through product launch with supplying marketing materials, user instructions & photo realistic renders of your product even before the tooling is completed and your product goes into production.
