Innovative Product Development Process
To achieve the highest quality, our product development process is divided into several stages. It starts with preliminary research and feasability study, where we develop conceptual solutions and, if necessary, aesthetic design development in collaboration with our permanent partners. We evaluate the materials and methods to be used in production. This is followed by design, prototyping, and final product manufacturing. This process is iterative to ensure a better, user-oriented product.
Product Development Stages:
-
Initial consultation, requirements gathering
-
Preparation and approval of the technical task
-
Technical design phase
-
Prototype development
-
Project improvements, if necessary, and next iteration of the prototype
-
Final product manufacturing
Prototyping is one of the most important steps in product development.
Prototyping is a crucial phase in the product development process, allowing engineers and designers to test their ideas before full-scale production.
A prototype enables the early identification of potential issues and improvements. Through iterations in prototype development, engineering teams can validate design choices, optimize functionality, and ensure that the final product meets both technical requirements and user needs. This iterative process not only saves time and costs in the long run but also enhances the overall quality and reliability of the product.
Types of Prototyping
1. Conceptual Prototyping
For quick visualization and idea testing, suitable for initial testing of a mechanism or mechanical assembly, to implement a verified solution in the project.
2. Functional Prototyping
The development of fully functional mechanisms or mechanical assemblies that replicate the functionality of the final product, suitable for performance testing under working conditions.
3. Aesthetic Prototyping
A model made to real size or scale to evaluate the aesthetic design and ergonomics.
4. High-Detail Prototyping
A model that closely resembles the final product version with precise details, suitable for testing under working conditions and approval before mass production.
Advantages of Prototyping
1. Risk Reduction
The ability to identify and address design issues early, preventing costly changes during production.
2. Cost Efficiency
The opportunity to refine the design before mass production, avoiding expensive modifications once production has started.
3. Time Savings
The ability to accelerate product development and reduce development time by understanding the correct technical solutions early on.
4. Testing Capability
The ability to test and understand how all necessary functions work to achieve a successful outcome.
Compliance with industry standards
We ensure that products comply with the most commonly used standards and directives, guaranteeing safety and quality.
This includes:
-
Machine Safety Directive (2006/42/EC)
-
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive (2014/30/EU)
-
Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU)
-
RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU)
-
ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU)
-
EN 13814: "Safety of amusement rides and amusement devices"
Compliance with these standards is essential to ensure the safety of products and equipment, as well as to allow companies to operate legally and be certified.
Turning concepts into tested, reliable solutions.
Prototyping is where ideas meet reality—it's the bridge between concept and creation, allowing us to test, refine, and perfect before committing to full-scale production.
At Design Tree, we meticulously craft prototypes that not only bring ideas to life but also ensure functionality and user satisfaction through rigorous testing and iteration.
