Design Services
End-to-end product development capabilities, from first napkin sketch to factory-ready specification packages.
Concept Development
We transform product briefs into comprehensive design directions through structured ideation. Our concept phase produces multiple viable design routes, each evaluated against market positioning, manufacturing feasibility, and user experience criteria.
- Market and competitive landscape analysis
- User persona development and journey mapping
- Industrial sketching and rendering (50+ concepts per project)
- Design direction presentations with evaluation matrices
- CMF (Color, Material, Finish) exploration boards
Rapid Prototyping
Our in-house prototyping lab produces functional and appearance models at every fidelity level. From quick foam studies to production-grade SLA prints, we validate designs physically before committing to tooling investment.
- SLA, SLS, and FDM 3D printing (in-house)
- CNC machined metal and plastic prototypes
- Soft tooling for low-volume validation runs
- Appearance models with production-quality finishes
- Functional testing and iteration cycles
Manufacturing Liaison
We bridge the gap between design intent and production reality. Our team works directly with manufacturing partners across Japan, China, and Southeast Asia to ensure your product meets exact design specifications at scale.
- Complete production drawing packages (2D/3D)
- Tooling design review and DFM optimization
- Factory sourcing and qualification audits
- First article inspection and quality standards
- Production ramp oversight through initial runs
Design Research
Data-driven insights fuel better design decisions. We conduct structured user research, ergonomic studies, and market analysis to validate design directions before significant investment in tooling and production.
- User observation and contextual inquiry studies
- Ergonomic analysis and anthropometric studies
- Competitive teardown and benchmarking
- Material testing and sustainability analysis
- Trend forecasting and technology scouting
