Engineers love new ideas because they lead to new products. Often, people or organizations have ideas but do not have the capacity to turn that idea into a sellable product. Product development involves rigorous research, analysis, conceptual design formulation, prototype production, testing and design refinement in order to get the product technically ready for manufacturing.
Research
A significant amount of research is conducted in the very early stages to establish the feasibility of the product, the design standards and codes that a product will need to satisfy and the material and other technical specification requirements.
Conceptual & Detail Design
It should be noted that the research phase overlaps into the conceptual design phase. The specifications determined in the research phase are continuously refined with more insight. The main activity in the conceptual design phase involves defining the geometry of the product. This is where initial sets of design conceptual drawings are generated, thus enabling the team to visualize what the product looks like as a result of all the input from the research phase until this point. With further design input, the product progressively shifts from conceptual design to detail design phase, which is where the design is detailed enough for prototype manufacturing.
Prototype Development
At some point, the product is taken from paper to reality. It is at this phase that the product's intended functionality is tested. With more tests being performed, the design is refined and improved. Prototyping gives the team an idea of the practicality, manufacturability and aesthetic appeal of the product. Most design shortfalls are discovered with the alpha prototypes. Then later, beta prototypes are built with systems that mimic the real production processes.
The Isosceles team is able to take your idea through all development phases or offer services in any phase depending on your needs.
