Test & Enhance Your Products

In addition to helping design your new product or perfecting your existing design, Metaltech ensures that your design works. Creating a prototype helps you test your invention and make necessary design changes before mass production. We create prototypes based on your design concept so you can test for fit, form and function with a physical part or an electronic simulation.

Our creative, degreed engineers will troubleshoot problems and come up with solutions to enhance an existing product or refine a new invention. Metaltech is dedicated to helping develop your custom metal parts through every stage of the process.

FAQ for Product Design & Development Services

Product design focuses on creating a manufacturable blueprint or prototype based on your concept or idea. Product development takes the design further by testing and enhancing the product for fit, form, and function, ensuring it meets practical and production requirements.

At Metaltech, the design phase is where we bring your ideas to life, ensuring they’re practical and manufacturable. Here’s a quick look at what happens during this phase:

  • First, we’ll collaborate with you to fully understand your project requirements and goals.
  • Next, we’ll select the best materials for your product, taking into account function, durability, and budget.
  • Then, our engineers create detailed blueprints or digital CAD models to guide the fabrication.
  • We also assess the manufacturability of the design, ensuring it can be efficiently produced.
  • Structural and functional analyses are conducted to make sure the design will hold up under real-world conditions.
  • If a prototype is needed, we’ll plan for testing and make any necessary adjustments.
  • Finally, we provide a cost estimate based on materials, design complexity, and fabrication processes.

Yes, Metaltech’s team can help perfect and enhance your existing design. Our engineers troubleshoot issues and suggest improvements to create a design that’s ready for production.

We work with you from concept to prototype, creating a design blueprint and model. Our engineers offer insights on manufacturability and recommend the best processes to bring your idea to life efficiently.

Metaltech creates prototypes to evaluate fit, form, and function, using physical models or electronic simulations. This testing phase allows us to identify any necessary adjustments before moving into mass production.

Yes, we specialize in creating custom prototypes based on your design concept. Prototypes allow you to test and visualize your product before committing to full-scale production.

 

Our engineers work closely with you to finalize a design that meets all technical specifications and is optimized for manufacturability. We use industry expertise to create a product that aligns with your production goals and quality standards.

The timeline for product design and development depends on the complexity and scope of your project. Typically, initial designs and prototypes can be completed within a few weeks, while more intricate projects may take longer to refine. Our team will work with you to establish a clear timeline based on your project’s unique requirements.
