Product Development
I2M - IDEA TO MARKETING
Growth Through Innovation From Idea to the Market (i2m) – We have the background and experience to give life to your idea. Product design and development is an engineering process to convert product idea into finished products. It’s a series of steps that include the product concept, structure, material, manufacturing, and marketing. Even though product development steps might vary a lot from different business size and different project management style, however most projects follow the six main steps in the product design and development process as below: Creating a great product design is not enough. Your design also needs to be engineered for mass production. And that’s where we come in: we optimize your design for manufacturing in China. Translation of your design into production drawings When we design a product, or work with a designer, we keep the production process in mind from the beginning. We also advise you on material selection to save costs, time and create a better product. We both re-engineer products in-house and work together with specialized design partners to create new products from scratch. Prototyping and testing your product Prototyping your product is crucial to validate your design on form and functionality. We offer several prototyping options to test your product before commencing mass production. Our prototyping options include 3d-printing, conventional CNC prototyping, foam modelling, reverse engineering, vacuum molding and rapid tooling (i.e. producing a small quantity for testing). Our engineers conduct reliability testing and we work together with local regulatory institutions to ensure compliance (UL, CE & VDE) from the beginning.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
At this stage the idea is translated to the first sketches, then a concept 3D is generated. Normally here colors, shapes and finishing are chosen and inputs for the engineering drawings and specification. Industrial design is a product engineering process to make a product concept into mass production based on product function, aesthetics, ergonomics, value, and industrialization. A successful industrial design requires the designer to have rich knowledge, experience, and creativity on society, market, user, and product. Industrial design is a critical part in the product design and development process, as it plays an important role from project inputs to project sign off. It should be scientifically and systematically carried to cater the end user's demands as well as manufacturing process. Our industrial design team consists of mechanical designer, electronic designer, graphic designer, and project engineer. they collaborate internally and externally closely to ensure each project is successfully developed. a project manager is our soul person to embedded timing, cost, and quality targets to be achieved at us.
CAD - CAE/ FEA
CAD
Here the concept becomes technical, dimensional and manufacturable.
The main outputs are 3D, 2D drawings and specification.
Years of experience and a huge portfolio of developed products on different fields you can find in the hands of N-Tech.
A Strong Mechanical Design has:
-Product Investigation and Design Definition.
-Mechanism and Structure Design
-Aesthetics and Robustness Design
-Tolerance and Manufacturing Consideration
-DFMEA and DFM Analysis
-Assembly and Production Optimization
-Continual Product Improvement
CAE/FEA
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software to aid in engineering analysis tasks. It includes finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multibody dynamics (MBD), durability and optimization.
This is a standard process for all tools/ Devices developed by NTech, necessary to avoid production problems and to define components characteristics.
