Market Research
Evaluate the size of the market and the potential market opportunity for the product. Competition Analysis Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the competition and determine gaps in meeting customer needs. Industrial Design Research the market opportunity, gather customer input and then develop innovative, user friendly product concepts that meet customer needs and are designed for manufacturability. Product Design and Development Multiple product concept renderings are developed and evaluated. Detailed CAD drawings and product specifications are developed to fully document the design. Coordination of Patent Searches and Patent Applications Will work with intellectual property law firms to establish patent-ability and start provisional or utility patent process. Rapid prototyping We use 3D printing or conventional machining to rapidly develop product prototypes. Functional and Visual Product Evaluation and Testing Evaluate the test needs for a product and develop a detailed test plan to ensure a high quality, reliable product is achieved. Risk Analysis A systematic process is used to identify potential hazards and rate the risk. Failure Modes Effects Analysis A systematic process is used to review components and subsystems to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects. Sourcing High Quality Manufacturing and Packaging We have many years of collective experience working with high quality ISO certified contract manufacturing and packaging companies. Process Development and Validation We work with contract manufacturing companies to develop detailed manufacturing processes for a new product. A process validation is performed on the manufacturing of a product in order to confirm that the process can reliably output products that meet appropriate quality standards. Process Failure Modes Effects Analysis A systematic method is used to evaluate a process to identify where and how it might fail and to assess the relative impact of failures to identify the parts of the process that are most in need of change. Medical Device Quality Management Systems We can help with your FDA or ISO 13485 quality management system. Coordination of Product Licensing Efforts We can use our network to help with efforts to license a product. |
