Concept Development
Concept Development is the process of generating
ideas and technical solutions, development of the more intricate
systems and reiteration of the original ideas with the ultimate
design goal and technical specifications in mind.
At DESIGNLORE
we begin concept development early in the product design process
addressing the majority of the design goals and specifications.
Concept developed addresses mechanical aspect concurrently with
the product style and aesthetics. By addressing both style and
product aesthetics and technical aspect of the product early in
the concept development stage we create fully feasible concepts.
Product ideas generated in brainstorm sessions are developed in
continual improvement process by multi disciplinary team of
members assembled and seamlessly integrated with the view of the
specific project requirements.
Both mechanical solutions,
preliminary engineering and Industrial Design activities take
place until concept is defined and presented in the form of
renderings which are ready for presentation to the client. From
multiple proposed raw concepts which typically address the same
product design goals but going in different design direction,
the most appropriate raw concept is selected together with the
client on design review meeting, The selected preferred Concept
is than further refined into Final Concept . The end of Concept
Development phase is acceptance and approval of the Final
Concept renderings by client.
While there is common opinion that
Concepts are not as valuable as final developed designs there is
much work and planning required to set the product development
and future product onto the right course. From preliminary
planning and selection of manufacturing process over the
engineering to preliminary selection of materials are all
possibly key factors of your future product. Extensive research
of both existing and similar product, market trends end user
requirements all add to this list of important activities.
