Product design is an iterative process，including imagination、Draft and design products，To meet the needs of the end user or fit into the overall system of parts in the assembly。The main characteristics of a product are its appearance and functionality。在 Rapidefficient，We have experienced industrial designers and highly qualified mechanical engineers，to ensure your product is attractive、Meet customer needs and meet customer requirements and resources。

Our services are tailored to each client’s needs。We’ll help you turn your ideas into a practical reality，From drafting to detailed design、manufacture、Process selection、Manufacturing and quality control。

Product Design Process Overview

The product design process consists of six steps：

imagine：
at this stage，A product is just an idea。We discuss with customers to understand the thinking behind the product：

• What is the main function?

• What problems does it solve?

• Who is this product intended for?
• Where will it be used?
• How to improve?
• Market researchers，Who are the competitors?
• Is there a similar solution?

definition：
Start from the previous stage，Product main functions、Appearance and selling price have been determined，We need to define its characteristics accurately：
• What are the overall dimensions?
• What are the materials and their aspects?
• What does it need to work?

draft：
at this stage，All characteristics of the product have been defined。Our designers will produce sketches as well as preliminary and feasible designs，Then share with customers to get their approval。We will also help customers choose the right manufacturing process and materials。We will provide customers with a variety of solutions。The product is now a sketch or rough model。

design：
After our client settles on a concept，Our engineers will develop technical solutions，Define materials using CAD software，Prepare manufacturing technical documents，and assess risk and ergonomics。We also provide customers with realistic renderings，to help view the final product before manufacturing。We organize design reviews with our clients，We then decide to confirm or improve the design before starting prototyping。

prototype：
This is a crucial step to get the final product and test its functional and visual aspects。Prototyping can help significantly reduce product costs。it may increase development time，But will benefit the production line by minimizing tooling costs and functional or visual issues。

verify：
It describes the testing of the prototype and compares it with the customer’s requirements。Validation helps decide whether to start manufacturing or improve product functionality。If the prototype is not verified after review，The product will be returned to draft、Design or prototype。Successful product design goes through all six steps before it can be manufactured
