A guide to transforming your concept into a tangible reality.

The first step is to create a list of the features you require, with the most essential items at the top. Once you have sketched your initial concept and refined your list of requirements, it is time to collaborate with industrial designers and engineers. This should only occur once you are satisfied with the sketch and have identified the product functionalities.

Industrial designers are responsible for the product's visual appeal, tactile quality, and ergonomic design, while engineers oversee the product's internal functionality. Both teams are available to address any questions or concerns related to your wish list. Once the product's functionality has been defined, the design and engineering teams will proceed. Designers begin the process by sketching initial concepts and developing the case design, while engineers create a proof of concept using off-the-shelf development kits and pre-made modules. Any high-risk components identified are given immediate attention.

Once the preceding steps have been completed, the engineers will proceed to create a schematic. During this phase, the team integrates the necessary components to meet specifications while adhering to best practices for manufacturing and testing. Once the schematic has been approved, we will proceed with the development of the alpha printed circuit board (PCB) layout.

The initial version of the design, designated the Alpha iteration, may undergo significant changes and updates, including the addition of test points and debug headers for troubleshooting purposes. Once the Alpha design has been finalized, the engineering team will send the design files to a PCB manufacturing house for production.

Create a prototype version

The typical timeline for this process is between two to four weeks, depending on the product timeline. However, we can accelerate it to around one week for an additional fee. Once the boards are received, our engineers will power them up and begin electrical testing using the test code.

During the development and testing phases, each engineer is assigned a specific board for their use. Furthermore, the design team utilizes the board to assess any necessary modifications to the enclosure design. Once the engineering and design teams have completed their initial development, they will deliver a fully functional prototype to you for your approval.

This stage requires extensive collaboration, including several web meetings to refine and strategize the final design. Once all new design concepts have been approved, the engineers will integrate them seamlessly into the project.

Following a series of revisions, we are pleased to confirm that you now have a fully functional beta prototype. The next step may involve sending it to various testing laboratories, depending on the product in question. Our engineering team is available to provide guidance throughout this process.

They can help connect you with a manufacturer for high-volume production of your product. For large orders, a production calibration or test fixture may be required. Your product is now in the hands of users, bringing your idea to life.

Bringing a product to market can be a challenging journey. It is not a mystical or random event. Instead, successful entrepreneurs follow timeless principles that enable them to achieve their goals.
