Can you do CAD design? This is a common question that needs clarification. Generally what is meant by this question is: Can you turn my simple sketch into a CAD model that contains all the detail necessary to take it to manufacture? The short answer is: Yes! However there are some considerations you should make. Firstly, product development is a complex process – don’t expect that your sketch can fully resolve all the issues involved. Even experienced industrial designers run into complications once they translate their ideas into 3D. Secondly, you may have spent quite some time on your concept but there is almost always an alternative that has merit. So the long answer to the question is: yes, but in most cases it would be advisable to allow us to do some product development work on your idea. Our experience in product design will ensure that your concept turns into a successful and affordable product, specifically designed for particular manufacturing techniques and target markets. In short – as industrial designers we can take the guess work out of your product development! Contact us with your ideas now and we will suggest the best way forward. |
