INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Industrial Design
Research, concepts, form, ergonomics and CMF, developed against manufacture rather than in isolation from it.
REQUIRED INPUTS
- Product intent, users and use context
- Commercial constraints and target cost
- Any existing hardware, benchmarks or brand direction
WHAT WE DELIVER
- Concept directions with rationale
- Resolved form, ergonomics and interaction
- CMF specification and appearance models
ROLES INVOLVED
- Industrial designer — form and CMF
- Mechanical engineer — feasibility review
- Project lead — scope, schedule and approvals
DECISION GATES
- Concept direction selected
- Ergonomics and form frozen
- CMF approved against appearance model
DEPENDENCIES AND HANDOFF
Feeds mechanical engineering with resolved surfaces and a CMF specification.
EXAMPLE SCHEDULE
Typically 3–6 weeks depending on concept rounds. Range, not a guarantee.
WHAT YOU OWN AT COMPLETION
Concept boards, CAD surfaces, CMF specification and appearance models, as agreed in contract.
Engagement models
Scoped stage
A defined stage with fixed deliverables, review rounds and a written schedule.
Embedded team
Ongoing engineering capacity across stages, reviewed monthly against the plan.
Programme
Concept through production under one project owner and one commercial agreement.
