Your idea
Our expertise
We're your kinda people if...
- You have an idea, but don’t know where to start
- You want to know your idea is commercially viable
- You believe there could be better way to design, manufacture or assemble your existing product
- You want to work with a straight talking, problem-solving product design studio
Our Process
Concept Development
Establish a concept
A clear vision, function and plan. See what your product would look like, how it would function, it’s value proposition & know that the product won’t cost more to make than the sell price.
Concept Validation
Prove that it works
Validate that your preferred conceptual approach works and can be manufactured before getting into the nitty gritty of detailed design.
Detailed Design
Go deep on the details
Translate your idea into a clear detailed design that is optimised for use, manufacture, maintenance, assembly & the end user. Also work out all the nitty gritty details; fasteners, inserts, tolerances, materials, etc.
Prototyping
See the product in real life
This phase is all about building a prototype for testing purposes. Ensuing manufacturing processes, materials, assembly methods, function & styling are accurate before manufacturing specifications.
Manufacturing Preparation
Get ready to manufacture
We will prepare all necessary digital files and hard copy drawings needed to manufacture your product. We can also create a shortlist of possible manufacturers for you to work with.
Tooling and First Inspection
Proof the first real product
We will help you get the tooling and production parts right by inspecting the first article, making improvements and making sure your parts are better than imagined.
Manufacture and deliver
Get it made
We can manufacture for you or provide engineering support to your selected manufacturer to ensure the product is efficiently produced, production costs are cut and quality is achieved.
Throughout the entire process, we can assess product viability and potential returns through the DA Signature Cost Modelling process.
