PROCESS

Many steps go into engineering a successful product

We are proud to offer services from concept to production all under one roof. Below is an example of a project to outline the steps we typically take to create a product. This example uses the cup holder by Hallare Design to demonstrate our process.

 1. Design Requirements Established

Communication is key! We seek to establish and understand the inclusive and exclusive requirements associated with your project for the most streamlined innovation process possible. We design with manufacturing in mind from the start. 

Generating design ideas with pen and paper
 2. Concept Development

We develop one or more possible solutions to the challenge through a combination of research, brainstorming, sketching, and team collaboration as applicable.


Whiteboard concept development
3. CAD Modeling

Our team of highly-trained engineers uses Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to bring the concept into three dimensions. The design is then reviewed and updated.

4. Prototype

When an acceptable design solution is reached, our Rapid Prototyping department utilizes 3D printing capabilities to quickly transform a computer file into a tangible, physical part. These parts are ready to be milled, drilled, and tested in many applications to further refine the design.

3D printed fan parts
5. Tooling

Engineers with expertise in tooling design utilize the latest technology to develop prototype and production molds for the part. The molds are created in-house by CNC machinists with years of tool-making experience.

6. Injection Molding

The part can then be molded on one of our two injection molding machines. We provide many options in quantity, material, color, and texture to ensure your needs are met.

Plastic injection molding parts
7. Scanning

Our in-house scanning department uses one of our three scanners to thoroughly capture the part resulting in a 3D model of the physical part suitable for inspection.

8. Inspection

The parts are then inspected to ensure quality and cohesion to the original design. We use the 3D data to comprehensively inspect profile, form, location, and orientation to ensure quality of the new part.
