A solid concept should also have some level of flexibility as the development process is dynamic as changes can occur during the development process.

​

Milestones:

• testing various layouts for the concept

• testing different shapes that express the concept coherently

• styling, color materials and finish are taken into consideration

• ergonomics

• initial thinking on production and assembly

03

Implementation

Implementing a good concept is a delicate art that requires balancing the preservation of its core values and aesthetics while addressing practical constraints like manufacturability, ergonomics, cost, and regulatory requirements.

​

Milestones:

• styling, color materials and finish are finalized

• all components are in place and work flawlessly with the design

• ​manufacturing methods and compatibility

• how will the product be boxed shipped and distributed 

• assembly

• target price

• prototyping and proof of concept 

04

Final Design

Detailed design and design for manufacturing bring the product to a level it can be produced to meet target price and regulations

• manufacturing support

05

Production

Full production file is handed to the chosen manufacturer, and production begins.

​

Milestones:

• testing first samples

• approving samples for mass production

• assisting and guiding the manufacturer
