The Need for an Industrial Product Design Service in Yorkshire

Posted by HJC Design Ltd on April 25th, 2016

Product design is a meticulous process of creating and developing a product to meet the needs of the customers. It is done systematically in stages by a product designer. These stages include understanding the needs and the demands of the client, analysing their feasibility, preparing the design, developing the product, testing the product then making the final product and launching it.

A product designer must combine technology, art, and science together to develop new products that can be efficiently utilised by people. Today, the process of product designing has become more advanced with the help of digital tools and technology.

The product designers can easily visualise and design much more tangible products with the help of advanced technology. Also, this technology has enabled product designers to provide some of the best services in Yorkshire. Let us discuss some of these services in detail.

•    Prototyping: The process of prototyping involves the creation of an initial model of the product and testing it to determine whether it can be replicated or improved. Visual prototyping highlights the appearance and the dimensions of the product design. The functional prototype will determine the functional aspects of the product design. Both these aspects of prototyping must be considered while designing a product. Prototyping gives specifications to create the real working system of a product.

•    CAD Engineering: Computer-aided design engineering services includes usage of computer systems to create, modify, analyse and optimise a product design. It helps in improving the productivity, design quality, and communications by documenting and making a manufacturing database. Often, the output of the computer-aided design takes the form of electronic data. This can be used for printing and beginning of manufacturing process.

•    Manufacturing: This process involves the production of goods that have been designed, analysed and improved. The manufacturing services in Yorkshire use high-tech machinery and tools for better productivity. They also offer moulds for manufacturing and ensure strict quality control and inspection of products.

•    Packaging: While developing a great product, designing the package is also done simultaneously. The process of package development involves creating the sample package, analysing the sample, taking feedback, improving the package design, if required, and then manufacturing. Packaging deserves a lot of attention as it helps in protecting the product and its functionality. Also, good packaging helps in marketing the product. Many products are often associated with the packaging they come in. Hence, the product design engineers in Yorkshire take special care in ensuring that the packaging is perfect.

Apart from the above-mentioned services, the product design companies in Yorkshire also provide market research services. The market research done in the initial stages is to understand the needs and demands of the customer. It is also done after the product is released to get customer feedback.
