Devising a completely new product and bringing it into a presentable form are vital parts of product development, but successful new product development rarely happens by accident. Successful product design includes ideation, technical design, market analysis, and product testing. Into this mix of creativity, HOFFMANN engineering solutions combines its problem-solving skills, design flair, engineering expertise, and manufacturing knowledge to produce a product that excites, simplifies lives, and redefines the future.
If you are seeking to conceive or refine a product idea, you can leave the process to us, and we will help you identify the product requirements. Or, sometimes, all you need is some support and guidance to get from a concept to a working idea that can be on its way to development. With the help of various creativity techniques, we help you make full use of your creativity and expertise. We will help you think through your product’s features and the problems it will solve and fully visualise the result.
You will then get a selection of ideas from us to be evaluated and narrowed down for further development. If you did not enter this phase with a pre-existing list of requirements, you will also receive one for the following stages. By the end of this phase, you will have answers to your burning questions and total confidence in the resulting go-forward plan.
The core activity of this phase is to figure out what components are required to make your product a success. Selections are made according to cost criteria and the degree of fulfilment of the key features of your product. We use our creativity with the latest development techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes.
It is imperative to get the engineering details right for product success. In this final product development phase, we use CAD systems to design your desired product based on your requirements, solutions, and specifications. We concentrate on quality engineering and product detailing to reduce the number of parts, facilitate smooth assembly, minimise production costs and provide optimum strength, durability and problem-free product use. We focus on innovation and creativity, high-quality design aesthetics, and reduced tooling and manufacturing costs to ensure maximised profits and maximum end-user satisfaction. Once satisfied with the 3D model, you receive an overview, assembly, and production drawings, together with a bill of materials. You will also receive product specifications and documentation – everything you need to get your product into manufacturing.
Our services don’t stop there. We help you find the best manufacturer for your product to guarantee the aspired quality. You can leave the technical but necessary communication and vetting of the manufacturer to us; our highly skilled engineers and purchasers will take care of it. In the end, you will get a list of suitable manufacturers and a concrete idea of the expected costs for your product.
