01
Research
Understanding user needs, market trends, and technical constraints is the foundation of industrial design. This phase includes competitor analysis, ergonomics research, and defining the product's functional and aesthetic goals.
OUTCOMES
USER & MARKET RESEARCH
COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
ERGONOMICS STUDY
FEASIBILITY STUDY
02
Discovery
Early ideas take shape through sketches, rough models, and digital explorations. Multiple directions are explored, focusing on usability, form, and manufacturability while aligning with brand and user expectations.
OUTCOMES
IDEATION
3D MODELING
RENDERINGS
ROUGH PROTOTYPING
UX CONSIDERATIONS
03
Refinement
Once a direction is selected, details are refined, including materials, finishes, and mechanical components. Digital prototypes and refined physical models help evaluate performance and ensure feasibility.
OUTCOMES
CAD DEVELOPMENT
MATERIAL SELECTION
HIGH-FIDELITY PROTOTYPING
ENGINEERING COORDINATION
04
Documentation
Finalizing specifications for production by collaborating with engineers and manufacturers. Design intent is documented through detailed 3D CAD files, technical drawings, and manufacturing specifications.
OUTCOMES
TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
TOLERANCE & FIT ANALYSIS
STATIONARY & PROMOTIONAL
PRODUCTION READY CAD
MANUFACTURING COORDINATION
05
Production Support
Supporting the transition from design to production by reviewing prototypes, refining specifications, and ensuring design intent is maintained. Iterations may be required based on tooling constraints, material feedback, or remote user testing.
OUTCOMES
PROTOTYPE EVALUATION
DESIGN ADJUSTMENTS
CROSS TEAM COORDINATION
WHAT THE PROCESS
LOOKS LIKE
An overview of the key phases in the industrial design process and what to expect. Whether it's a fully developed product, a refined concept, or select design enhancements, the approach adapts to fit your needs.
