Engineering the Idea, Capturing the Spark

At the conceptual phase of new product development in an established business, a new concept is created to solve a specific problem or fill a particular market requirement. It begins a fairly well defined engineering process, that for the select few results in reaching the consumer and goes on to fund the continuing success of the company. But how many truly ground breaking, game changing ideas remain ideas without the engineering resource to reach the initial stages of new product development, eventually to fade and be forgotten?

Validation to Support Key Stakeholder Development

At this stage, you need a partner who can help you validate your idea when you don’t have the knowledge and resources you need. By providing a service that supports the concept development process, this partner can add substance to your new product concept and provide the evidence to support its practical application and secure initial funding for its development. ‘Capturing the spark’ takes an idea through its first engineering steps to becoming a product. A service that provides expert engineering resources to define initial product concept designs and supporting engineering information, including:

• Engineering definition in CAD
• Performance and application verification
• Environmental and operational research and development
• Material selection and testing
• Component and product analysis
• Lifelike simulation of the product in use
• Prototype development and testing
• Preparation for industrialisation
