Services
3D CAD Design
Turn initial concepts into creative design solutions. Our design team will transform your new idea into a high-quality 3D CAD model.
Prototyping
Whether your interest is in fundraising or pitching your idea to VCs, we canbuild prototypes that will impress your backers.
Simulations
Save time and money by checking the stand-ability of your design through simulation solutions.
Strategy
Take your product idea and turn it into a reality. We will help you make informeddecisions throughout the entire product development process.
Product Innovation
Innovate new products and technologies through a blend of design creativity, simplicity, standards, and engineering excellence.
Coffee Roaster
Designed a fluidized coffee roaster that allows users to roast 6 Kg of green coffee beans within 15 minutes. In addition, it has to cool down the roasted coffee beans within 3 minutes as well as it has to have chaff collector.
Lights Turbine
Design exhaust gas turbines to turn car lights by utilizing the exhaust gas. Also, conduct a flow simulation to get specific results to be used in mathematical modeling and validation.
AISA
Design a 3D CAD robotics toy for educational and entertaining purposes for children in an interactive way within a defined age period.
Foldable Grill
Design a portable grill that allowe users to save space while preparing for barbecue parties in natural parks or beaches where the grill would be stored in the car trunk.
Foldable Bed
Design a 3D CAD foldable bed that allowes the user to save the maximum possible area when the bed is folded. In addition, when the bed is unfolded, it had to give the user the experience of using a normal luxury bed.
Smarty Plug
Designed an Electrical Outlet Cover with a back cover and Stamp Terminal Clip that encapsulated the PCB and its component in order to allow it to do the desired functions with the very tight standard space available.
Prosthetic Hand
Designed a hand pone that could be encapsulated in silicone gloves with a real hand skin texture. The designed pone had to allow the user to be able to mimic normal hand posture and movement. In addition, it had to enable the user to grab items up to five kg.
Light Bringer
Designe a handmade sophisticated giveaway that allowes user to have more than one slice be used. In addition, it had to come with a variety of colors and light.
Flower Turbine
Designed Wind Energy turbines and embed Solar Panels onto the wings to utilize solar and wind energy simultaneously. Conduct a flow simulation and motion analysis study to get specific results to be used in mathematical modeling and idea validation.

Tell us the story!
The first step in our process is to start a conversation with you so we can extract as much information as possible. During this stage, we also conduct research to better understand theories and concepts that are related to your product, and its features, functionalities, and applicability.In order to reach your desired product structure, we must ensure that it fulfillsthe best definition of your business objectives. Therefore, fully grasping your domain of business, as well as your competitive landscape, are of paramount importance.Once we conclude this step, we are able to generate a proposal and set deadlines. At which point, our design process can be tailored specifically to your needs and wants.
Outcomes:
- Project needs clarification
- Stakeholder alignment
- Tailored proposal
What is the audience longing for?
In this fast-moving world, the end-user decides whether the product is successful or not. By uncovering the needs of the user, addressing their pain points, and researching into social trends, market segmentation, etc., we can uncover problem areas within the existing product. Once these problems are uncovered, we can troubleshoot and ensure that the new product fulfills the brand expectation, works better for the end-user and is supported by an appropriate and compelling business case that fits within the wider business strategy.
Outcomes:
- Prioritized Customer Requirements List
- Prioritized Engineering Characteristics Matrix
- Competitive Performance Benchmarking
- Defined and Prioritized List of Main Features and Functions
- Defined List of The Main Direct and Indirect Competitors
- Quality Function Deployment
- Product Design Specification Sheet
Write the Script!
After considering the knowledge that we have learned during the “listening” stage, our team creates several concepts, including digital rendering, concept selection, 3D CAD Modeling, and prototyping.
The Designer team will interview key stakeholders and user groups to get the creative juices flowing.
Outcomes:
- Concepts and Idea Generation, Brainstorming, and Matrix Selection
- Conceptual Mechanism Design
- The Selected Concept Transferred into 3D CAD Model
- Product Simplification Study
- Part Reduction Evaluation
- Design for 3D Printing
- Design for Assembly and Manufacturing
- Manufacturing Process Review
- Prototype Development, Testing and Refinement
- Initial Material Selection
- Functional Prototype
Edit the Script
It is time to make the user test the juice! During this stage, we invite the targeted user to try the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) – this allows us to apply a user-experience test. Our multi-disciplinary team evaluates the MVP, considers the results from the UX test, and determines what is needed to take the solution to the next level.
This stage resolves preliminary feasibility and functionality issues and transforms the concept into a solid, tested solution.
Outcomes:
- UX Design and Test
- Defined and Prioritized User Feedback on the Product
- Material Selection
- Manufacturing Process Selection
- Reliability Testing
- Mold Design (if required)
Tell them the Story
Semifinal products and advanced MVP are created. Final refinements are made.
Our team is well trained in ensuring our concepts are designed for manufacturing (DFM), so the transition from MVP to manufacturing is smooth.
Outcomes:
- The Product Functions as Desired
- Design for Assembly and Manufacturing Documents
- Technical Engineering Drawing – Based on ASME 14.5Y 2009
- Manufacturing Quotation (if required)
