ABOUT Product Design and Development
Technology: Product Design and Development Services constitute a suite of engineering, design, and testing services focused on bringing new products to market. Such services can include the making of models for prototypes, pilots, and production, project management, feasibility studies, etc. Testing services in this category relate to accelerated life tests, compliance testing, design verification, and so on. Product design and development firms routinely venture into other aspects of design and development, such as solid modeling, CAD, rapid prototyping, etc. but the fundamental aspect of design and development is concept creation and refinement.
Some product designers and developers specialize in a particular industry such as medical devices or in particular materials/applications such as injection molded parts. Others offer a more holistic approach, designing for any intention and in an array of materials.
Advantages: Product design and development services add technical expertise to firms that don't normally maintain a staff of experts in this process.
