About this service

Summary

Good ideas should be built, not forgotten.

Have you ever had an idea for a product? Thought that a product could be more efficient?

If you're ready to start the design process for building your product, I can help you get started today! Designing products for startups and entrepreneurs is something I've been very involved with for the last six years and it's something I'm extremely passionate about. People often overlook the design process, but it's one of the most critical areas vital to the success of brining any product to market. I'm here to help you build the future.

Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Process

The new product process is simple and straightforward; discovery call, project outline call, formal commencement call. Once we move past this, the design meetings and reviews are subject to the contract overview.

Discovery Call - We discuss what your product idea is, what you've done with it so far, product goals, budget, timeline, design options, etc. You will get an idea for a generalization of the process of building your product and rough estimation of what the project could cost (not an exact amount).

Project Outline Call - We've already gone over the essentials of your project and will figure out contracts, payments, deadlines/milestones, deliverables, intellectual property, data management, etc. before moving forward.

Formal Commencement Call - We have agreed to a project schedule and contract and this is just a formal chat before we get started incase you have any other questions or accommodation requests.

Once I start designing your product, we will have regular communication via private Discord server and regularly scheduled milestone meetings that will be in the form of a Zoom call. If you have any preferred specific communication methods, we can discuss them during the Project Outline Call.

*If you only have a single part that needs to be 3D modeled in a specific software, we can discuss hourly rates. This service is meant for project support on continuously active projects.

FAQs

What kind of support do you provide after the project is completed?
After project completion, we offer support that may include revisions, updates, and assistance with any issues related to the design or digital assets. The goal is to ensure that the final product meets your expectations and performs as intended, and we are available to address any questions or additional needs you may have.
Can you help with the implementation of the design in a real-world application?
Yes, I can assist with the implementation of the design by providing consulting on integrating the design into real-world applications. This may include support with manufacturing processes, prototyping, and ensuring that the design performs as intended in practical use. For more information, review the Functional Prototyping & Product Manufacturing service.
How do you handle confidentiality and intellectual property for my project?
Your product is prioritized confidentially and your intellectual property is safeguarded. All project details and design files are protected through secure systems/servers and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) can be drafted to ensure that your information remains confidential and is not shared without your consent. *NDA's drafted for the duration of the project.

What's included

3D Product Model
3D product models are digital representations of your designs that bring your ideas to life. By creating detailed and accurate models, we can visualize and refine your product before it's made. These models help in evaluating design features, detecting potential issues, and ensuring that everything fits together as planned, all while speeding up the development process and reducing costs.
3D Product Assemblies (Mechanical)
3D Product Assemblies involve the detailed creation and integration of individual components into a complete system. This process ensures that parts fit together precisely, allowing for the visualization and testing of the entire assembly in a digital environment. It includes evaluating the interaction of mechanical components, checking for clearances, and optimizing design for functionality and manufacturability, ensuring a seamless and efficient product development process.
3D Product Rendering
3D Product Renderings provide highly realistic and visually compelling images of your designs. By incorporating textures, lighting, and materials, photo realistic representations that showcase your product in its best light are created. Visualizing the final look helps make informed design decisions, and effectively communicate your vision to stakeholders or clients.
Simulation Testing
Simulation testing offers comprehensive analysis of product designs. A few product analysis testing options are: Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Modal Analysis. These simulations enhance product reliability and performance, reducing the need for physical prototyping. Feel free to ask about specific testing.
Generative Design
Generative design leverages advanced algorithms and machine learning to explore a wide range of design solutions. Starting with defined constraints and requirements, the software generates multiple design iterations that optimize material usage, strength, and weight. By simulating and evaluating each design, generative design ensures that the final solution meets all necessary specifications while pushing the boundaries of creativity and functionality.
Toolpath Generation
Tool path generation involves creating precise instructions for CNC machines to follow when manufacturing parts. By defining the path that cutting tools take, we ensure accurate material removal and optimal efficiency. This process helps in producing complex geometries with high precision, reducing waste, and improving overall manufacturing quality. It’s key to achieving consistent and reliable results in your production projects.
Digital Assets
Digital assets include all the essential digital files and resources related to your project, such as 3D models, renderings, and design documentation. These assets serve as the foundation for design development and production, ensuring that all elements are readily available and accurately represented. Managing and organizing these digital assets helps streamline workflows, maintain consistency, and facilitate collaboration throughout the project. *Digital assets are securely kept on server and are not exported.
