INDUSTRIAL AND MECHANICAL DESIGN
INDUSTRIAL and Mechanical DESIGN
Industrial and mechanical design are two key components of consumer electronics production. Industrial design is responsible for the aesthetics and user experience of a device, while mechanical design involves the engineering, materials and fabrication of the device’s components.Engineering is a complex process when it comes to product design. By using a complex approach to engineering, design can achieve superior results and create products that meet the exact needs of the customer.
When industrial and mechanical design are considered together, it allows for a comprehensive design process that takes into account both the aesthetics and functionality of the product. This ensures that the product will be attractive, ergonomic, and reliable.

Our design team boasts the specialized skill set and extensive experience required to develop revolutionary electronics products for both consumer and industrial applications. By bridging the gap between the desired features, user interaction, and the eventual functioning hardware, we strive to deliver the best possible results.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Industrial design focuses on creating an aesthetically pleasing product that is ergonomic and easy to use. It considers the product’s shape, color, textures, materials, and user interface. It also takes into account how the product will be displayed and marketed, as well as how the product can be used in different environments. We take a consumer-centric approach when designing industrial products. Using a rapid process to create these designs, which involves gathering feedback from consumers, we understand their needs, and leveraging the latest technology to develop innovative solutions.
Сollect requirements. Analyze competitors and similar products (1-2 weeks).
Сreate 20-30 early design sketches for initial discussion (1-2 weeks).
Usability testing using early low-fidelity prototypes - carton, plywood or 3D printed (1-2 weeks).
Select 5-7 design variants for more refined sketching (1-2 weeks).
Select 2-3 variants for detailed design. Prepare first batch of 3D renders (2 weeks).
Usability testing using medium-fidelity 3D printed prototypes (1-2 weeks).
Create high-fidelity 3D renders in CAD. Early CFM review (1-2 weeks).
High fidelity prototypes done with CNC machining or 3D printing with post-processing (2 weeks).
Customer beta-testing. Feedback gathering. Adjustments as needed.
Mechanical engineering
We create custom product designs and enclosures made from a variety of materials, including plastic, metal alloys, and fabrics. Our team of experienced designers have the expertise to craft bespoke solutions that meet your exact requirements.
- Product research and sketching
- Industrial design
- Detailed engineering in SolidWorks
- Rapid prototyping using 3D print / CNC machining
- Stress and Failure analysis
- Engineering Validation samples (EVT)
- Design Validation and Tooling
- Production Validation (PVT) and start of Mass Production
Plastic enclosures are typically produced by injection molding. Our experts have tens of thousands of unit samples produced
- Industrial design and CMF (Color / Material / Finishing)
- SolidWorks design
- Rapid prototyping using 3D print or Silicon molding
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
We have fully equipped prototyping lab to rapidly prototype and test new concepts. We have four 3D printers, milling machines, and expansive network of prototyping partners.
- 3D printing - when rapid validaiton is needed
- CNC machining - high quality samples out of solid piece of material
Our prototyping partners assist with:
- Silicon molding - when you need to impress someone with production-looking samples
- Laser Cutting and CNC bending
- Welding, Painting, Assembly
We love working with metal to create robust mechanical structures.
- Various materials - we work with Aluminum, Steel, and Alloys
- Sheet metal designs - when enclosure is cut, bend, and welded from sheet metal
- Stress and Failure analysis - simulate every operation condition
Our metal designs are used at Oil and Gas facilities, Factories around the world, and on
parking structures in Manhattan.
We help companies move from prototype to full-scale production at their selected Contract Manufacturer. Our clients own the IP and may work with any Manufacturer of their choice
