Product Design & Engineering

CADx Product Design Services are involved in the process of creating a new product design which is then manufactured by companies and later sold to customers. CADx Tools & Technology Pvt Ltd is one of the best product design company in India, It provides product designing services to many companies across various industries.

A product design process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a specific problem. Many times the solution involves designing a new product like a machine or computer code that meets certain criteria and accomplishes a certain task. Product design process is different from the Steps of the Scientific Method (which more often people confused), If your project involves making observations and doing experiments, you should probably follow the Scientific Method. If your project involves designing, building, and testing something, you should probably follow the Product Design Process, which is also known as Engineering Design Process.

Everything we buy or use today was once an idea in the head of a product design engineer. These product design professionals work for organizations to design new products that customers will want to purchase. Artistic individuals who know how to solve problems with a creative touch often excel in this profession. CADx being one of the leading product designing company in India have in-house creative product designers who have helped various companies in their product designing processes.

Steps In The Product Design Process

The way products are designed and built is changing rapidly. As per the product specifications, steps in the product design process varies but in most of the general cases, it has the set steps which needs to be followed during any product development process.

Define the Problem:

The design process starts with finding a solution to a problem. Here at this step, a goal is created, it starts with questions about problems that we observe. In generally here you try to find “[Who] need(s) [what] because [why]? So basically here you try to find what is the problem and why you need to find a solution to this problem.”

Background Research:

Once you have identified the problem the next step is to do some research about it. Try finding if there is an existing solution to your problem. Check if the existing solution can solve your problem too and if not why? See how you can improve the existing solution so that it works in your case. If the existing product does not solve your problem at all, we move to the next step.

Specify Requirements:

At this stage of design processes you specify the things you may require in the development process. You can do this by examining the current products or solution, if available. You need to list down everything that you may need so that you won’t stuck in between the development process.

Brainstorm Solutions:

Product design engineers go through the brainstorming process to find out the probable solution to the problem identified. It requires creative thinking and sometimes companies conduct a market research to find the probable solution to the problem. So that the product created will match best to solve the problem of the users.

Find the Best Solution:

In the previous step, you have got the probable solution for your problem. Now you have few solutions which could solve your problem. Here in this step, you need to find the best solution, from the available list of solutions. It again requires a bit of brainstorming, expert interview and opinion and market research. This step is important to ensure that the solution you are going with, will be the best to deal with the problem.

Development & Design Work:

At this stage actual product design and development starts. Product designers need to take into account how the item will perform its intended functionality in an efficient, safe and reliable manner. The detailed specification of a manufactured item’s parts and their relationship to the whole. The product also needs to be capable of being made economically and to be attractive to targeted consumers.

Build a Prototype:

A Product Prototype is an operating version of a product created using 3D Printers. Often it is made with different materials than the final version, and generally, it is not as polished. Prototypes are a key step in the development of a final solution, allowing the designer to test how the product or solution will work.

Test and Redesign:

This design process involves multiple iterations and redesigns of your final product or solution. You will likely test your solution, find new problems, make changes, and test new solutions before settling on a final design. In some cases, the whole process repeats again and once the product designed clears all the parameters, It goes through the bulk production and that’s how we get the products we use in our day to day life.

Product Re-Design Services

Product Redesign services are involved with redesigning a product that is already at least partially designed. A lab prototype exists, or it may already be in production in low volumes. Sometimes these products need to be redesigned to lower costs, improve manufacturability, optimize the supply chain, or even functional improvements.

At CADx, We can assess the existing design or partially designed products, analyze it for manufacturability, testability and the like, and then suggest or even do redesign work and get it ready to smoothly ramp into volume manufacturing. Designing a product from the scratch or re-designing an existing product prototype, We provide the complete one-stop solutions to our clients all over India.
