A process including discussions and brain storming sessions that enable us to combine ideas and share critical thinking for the purpose of better understanding the future product and identifying ways to provide meaningful results. This service focuses on new, creative and unconventional approaches to problem solving, and is provided by designers, strategists, trend scouts and engineers.

A service designed to provide product shape definition as well as material, colour, pattern and graphic scheme proposals for various design applications according to the specific needs of the customer. This service is the most critical part of the product design process, producing first hand results that can be evaluated by key indicators. Usually, design proposals are delivered using a variety of different approaches according to the varying product strategies applied by different groups of designers. Shape creation is provided using various mediums such as sketch renders, clay models, CAD shapes, 3D laser scans and others. The results of the design process can be presented in various forms as renders or 3D animations. This part of the product design process is essential for product definition and the selection of optimal manufacturing processes. This service is provided by groups of industrial designers and material, colour or trim designers within the design team.

This service optimises mechanical engineering and manufacturing processes according to any key indicators that need to be added or modified. Optimisation can be used to minimise the number of processes involved in production, cost reduction and alternative material selection. All processes are supervised by the design team, ensuring a high level of design quality throughout. This service is provided by a multidisciplinary team of designers, mechanical engineers, material engineers and project managers.

This service provides 3D models in selected qualities and formats according to need and timeframe. The 3D virtual model is provided for shape definition, construction evaluation, measurements of key indicators, rapid prototyping processes, and presentation purpose renders and animations. The 3D virtual model can be used for real time conference evaluation in various locations to ensure better understanding of selected issues. This service is provided by designers and mechanical engineers using specialised CAD programmes.

To effectively assess and evaluate the design, manufacturing optimisation and aesthetic features of a product it is necessary to see a tangible and realistic version of it. In this case, nothing can replace the experience of seeing and touching a physical model. With mock-ups, we simulate the physical appearance of a product. Prototypes take this experience to the next level by adding the real, simulated or similar functionality of selected features. We can create both low-fidelity mock-ups and high-fidelity prototypes using various manufacturing processes. For example, we can provide you with clay models for shape evaluation or 3D scanning, full models for exhibition presentation and promotion, and mock-ups of interior spaces and complex objects, for which we use rapid prototyping that utilises CNC milling and vacuum forming technologies as well as certain hand-modelling processes.

With this service we simulate the physical appearance of a product with focus on specific features that need to be tested, such as the simulation of a dimensioned outer shape for component selection, material and surface texture, and colour schemes or other selected features that require physical appearance testing. With mock-ups we simulate the first hand product experience with critical focus on ergonomics in daily use. This process quickly leads to product optimisation and design enhancements, and is provided by designers, engineers, shape modellers and workshop staff.

This service provides rapid development of full models based on 3D virtual models provided by the design team. It is an enhanced mock-up manufacturing process that allows us to create complex parametric structures with inside cavities that are impossible to manufacture in any other way. We can work together regardless of location by sending and receiving the data required and communicating about manufacturing issues over long distances. This service is provided by product designers supported by mechanical engineers.

A service dedicated to high quality full scale working mock-up production for product promotion and usability testing. With this service we simulate the physical appearance of a product with a focus on specific features that need to be tested in physical appearance, for example, the simulation of shape, incorporation of selected components, material applications and tests, surface finish tests and more. Highfidelity prototypes can be manufactured in a selected quality and scale according to the needs of usability testing. This service is provided by product designers, mechanical engineers and workshop staff.

We can use a variety of approaches to promote your final product. Sometimes it is ideal to use a full-scale model that it is possible to interact with, which is especially beneficial when installed or used in a location suitable for photoshoots.
