Phase 2: Engineering Design & Development (DEVELOPMENT)
Objective: To conduct technical validation, confirm quality standards, and ensure seamless transition to mass production.
1. 3D Design & Engineering Blueprint Confirmation
Our engineering team translates your concepts into comprehensive 3D designs and technical blueprints. These documents define material grades, structural specifics, and manufacturing processes (e.g., injection molding, thermoforming), serving as the definitive "Single Source of Truth" for all subsequent tooling and production.
2. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Review
We conduct a rigorous DFM review to optimize manufacturability, material yield, and cost structures without compromising product functionality. This ensures the design is perfectly primed for large-scale industrial production.
3. 3D Prototyping & Mock-up Creation
Utilizing high-precision 3D printing or CNC machining (wooden molds), we create physical prototypes to verify ergonomics and dimensional accuracy. This allows for tangible validation before committing to high-cost production tooling.
4. Pilot Tooling & Specialized Fixtures
We develop core molds for base sizes along with high-precision custom fixtures. This infrastructure is essential for maintaining stability and dimensional consistency during high-volume manufacturing.
5. Initial Samples & Material Compliance
Initial samples are used for mold calibration and internal performance testing. All raw materials must be supported by compliance documentation (e.g., REACH, RoHS). Third-party laboratory testing can be arranged to ensure safety and performance metrics are met.
6. Full-Size Range Tooling & Golden Sample
Upon completion of the full-size range tooling, we produce the Golden Sample. This master sample requires formal written approval from the client and serves as the ultimate quality benchmark for all future mass production batches.
7. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Development
Our production and QC teams establish comprehensive SOPs, defining every step of the production flow, quality inspection criteria, and packaging requirements to achieve end-to-end quality control.
