Start at the end

At Design For Industry, we begin with the end in mind. Our process starts by capturing all aspects and expectations of stakeholders in a verifiable Program of Requirements. This comprehensive document includes considerations such as cost, lifespan, usability, logistics, installation, and recycling.

 

During the technical concept development phase, we explore multiple directions. The requirements serve as a guiding framework for making informed decisions. Balancing these requirements is an integral part of our design process, ensuring that there is always a viable solution.

 

Advanced Methodologies and Tools

Following the concept development, we employ a range of advanced methodologies and tools to refine and realize our designs. These include:

• 3D CAD Software: For precise and detailed design modelling.

• Ergonomic Analysis: Ensuring user comfort and safety.

• Life Cycle Analysis (LCA): Assessing the environmental impact of products throughout their lifecycle.

• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA): To identify and mitigate potential failure points.

• Design for Manufacturing: Ensuring designs are optimized for efficient production.

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA or FEM): For structural and stress analysis.

• Mold Flow Analysis: To optimize the injection molding process.

• 3D Printing and Model Making: Rapid prototyping to visualize and test concepts.

• Material Selection and Analysis: Choosing the best materials for performance and sustainability.

• Testing and Evaluating: Rigorous testing to validate design performance.

 

Our approach is characterized by thorough planning, innovative exploration, and a commitment to meeting stakeholder expectations efficiently and effectively.
