GID - Product Development Company - Client Interview

Client
Interview

Jim invites you to join him in a friendly discussion regarding your Project.

As the first important step for custom product manufacturing, we meet with you for a design conference to learn about your new product idea, your vision for it, and your expectations for success. It is very important to protect your intellectual property and the proprietary rights to your idea, so we always execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement—which we provide—prior to any in-depth discussion. This two-way interview and learning step allow us to review your documents and learn the details of your new product design so that we can customize our process and incorporate those steps that will be essential to bringing your idea to fruition. It also allows you to get to know us and learn how our design and development process works so you can ascertain if our product development services are what you looking for. The design conference is the important first step in our ongoing collaborative efforts.

Our design team will then review the results from the interview and determine:

  1.  Are we qualified to offer our design and custom product development services for your specific project?
  2.  Can we meet your expectations?
  3. Can we bring any added value to the project by improving upon your original new product idea?

To start, we work with you at no cost so we can present a well thought out and meaningful project development proposal tailored to your specific product idea. Experienced in bringing ideas to life, we’ll take you on the journey from concept to reality!

We investigate your expectations including short and long term goals to capture your vision. Next we allocate select stages from our proven design and development process to obtain a successful and profitable result for you.

Ideation - Product Development Service Provider in USA - GID Company

Ideation

At our centre for product development in California, our designers and engineers, utilize their unique skill set to generate abundant ideas about how to best achieve a unique and successful product design. With your project in mind, each of our design team professionals is constantly thinking about and visualizing your new product idea in the various forms it will take as it goes through its designated stages of the design and development procedure and onto manufacturing.

Ideas for the design of custom product manufacturing are also generated through collaboration with you as well as with other members of the design team. This ideation activity is continuous throughout the entire process… from idea to reality is the designer’s mantra our product development company.

Virtual Concept - Product Development Service Provider in California USA

Virtual
Concept

Being a professional plastic product manufacturer, our first tangible step in the design process is for the designer to create their vision of your new product idea. After extended thought and discussion in the ideation process, work is now done in a 3D virtual design world utilizing our state-of-the-art CATIA V5 3D design and engineering software. Deliverables are presented as 3D images and renderings of the design’s concept. As a part of our injection molding manufacturing, you are provided a viewer so that meaningful collaboration can progress with the designer.

Creating a virtual 3D image of your product design allows multiple changes to be made easily and quickly in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Costly physical mock-ups are not necessary. Your feedback and observations are invaluable. Combining them with the design team’s expertise ensures a product that meets your expectations but also considers the manufacturability of the finished product. We have already executed many custom product manufacturing projects; hence, we know that the conceptual design effort is likely the most time consuming stage. It is crucial to the overall success of the project because it drives the remaining steps of the design and development process. Only when you approve the conceptual design is the project moved to the next stage.

Functional Design - Product Development Service Provider in USA - GID Company

Functional
Design

During the custom product manufacturing, the design effort takes another important step toward reality as the virtual 3D concept is morphed into functional versions, which can be thoroughly explored and evaluated while still in the virtual world. As a structure takes shape and meaning, it invites scrutiny from the designer/engineer and client alike in the form of constructive collaboration. All mechanical elements are simulated, tested, and modified, as necessary, to ensure the product remains consistent with the inventor’s vision and expectations.

Being a plastic product manufacturing company, we strictly obey the design adage that “Form Follows Function” throughout this stage of the process to achieve the desired appearance of the finished product.

As in the previous step, attention is also paid to the product’s manufacturability to ensure its future cost-effective production while maintaining its designed utility.

Electronic / Electro Mechanical - Product Development Service Provider in California USA - GID Company

Electronic/ Electro
Mechanical

During our injection molding manufacturing process, the internal workings of products with electronic and/or electromechanical functions are developed as a discrete portion of the Functional Design effort. These functions may include simple to complex circuits, animatronics, or interactive electrical and/or mechanical devices. Whatever are your custom plastic injection molding requirement, it will be thoroughly integrated into the desired structure.

Software Firmware - Product Development Service Provider in California USA - GID Company

Software
Firmware

If a new product design requires a software or firmware during or after the injection molding manufacturing, a feasibility study is conducted at the Ideation phase that produces specifications and, if needed, an initial storyboard for the user interface design. Once you approve these deliverables, software development progresses in parallel with the mechanical/structural design at the Virtual Concept stage and continues throughout subsequent design and development efforts.

Being a globally reputed plastic product manufacturer, we understand that software functionality and ease-of-use are critical to a successful product, so a special design team is assigned to this important area and works in concert with the lead mechanical designer/engineer.

Mechanical / Structure - Product Development California - USA

Mechanical/Structure

During this key design and development step, the structural shape, appearance, and construction of the new product are determined. It must provide an exact fit for the internal workings, whether they are mechanical, electronic, or some combination, while maintaining the embodiment of your vision. The structural design captures the conceptual and functional elements determined during the initial design conference and incorporates them within the desired appearance.

This key stage of the design and development process will determine the manufacturing methods and significantly, impacts production costs. It is also during this stage that the materials used to construct the design are determined. Which materials are used affects not only the product’s functionality but also its production costs.

Integrations - Product Development Service Provider in USA - GID Company

Integrations

Assimilation of each function and feature into the final integrated product design confirms the compatibility between the structural shape, internal workings, software, and all other design elements. At our product manufacturing company, we always tend for success; hence, failure to integrate any of the design components into the finished product is not acceptable. We instantly begin the redesign work to correct the issue.

In the past, with physical prototype requirements, this would have been an expensive and time-consuming process. But, the interactive tools in our CATIA V5 state-of-the-art design and engineering software for product prototype development allow us to easily rebuild and restructure any of the design elements. This allows our lead designer for custom product manufacturing to revisit any segment of the work on your project and correct any functional or design mismatch.

Prototype Models - Product Development Service Provider in USA - GID Company

Prototype/Models

A product prototype development is a critical element of the design and injection molding manufacturing process. It is accomplished in two phases: Alpha and Beta.

The goal of the Alpha prototype is to produce a device that resembles the envisioned product shape and size with basic functionality. This allows the designer for custom plastic injection molding to validate the work already accomplished and provide you with a physical embodiment of your new product idea. A preliminary Acceptance Test Protocol (ATP) is developed for the Alpha unit to test and prove mechanical function and its basic design.

The Beta prototype improves upon the Alpha unit and meets the mutually agreed upon ATP. The Beta unit is intended to be an exact replica of the collaborative product design in all areas, including size, shape, and function(s).

Pre-tooling Testing - Product Development Service Provider in USA - GID Company

Pre Tooling & Testing

Designing the production tooling is the next essential step. Design is guided by prototype test data to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective manufacturing process.

At our product development California, production tooling can take many forms. A few common ones include injection molds for plastic parts, castings, stamping and extrusion for metal parts, and patterns for fabrics. Our custom product manufacturing experts know that a properly designed and constructed tooling will yield high quality and precision parts at the lowest manufacturing cost.

The initial tool components must pass a rigorous and thorough testing process before being released for production use. The product designer/engineer for plastic product manufacturing conducts visual and physical on-site validation to inspect and coordinate initial production tests and ensure that the tooling and products meet all specifications.
