New Product Development

    Our engineers have the capabilities to design new and existing products to meet or exceed customer specifications. Our expertise has allowed us to create a proven process that collaborates with our customers every step of the way and include the following processes:

• Development proposal: includes gathering original samples, understanding customer specifications and requirements, establish sales volumes anticipated
• Feasibility analysis: includes gathering engineering properties (functionality, product structure, specific materials used, customer requirements) and production properties (specific tooling and specific equipment requirements)
• Engineering analysis: includes establishing bill of materials (BOM), tool complexity (number of molds, cavity number, mold material, etc), injection cycle time, packaging method, original sample testing under customer specifications
• Cost and budget analysis: includes mold costs, product costs, packaging cost, shipping cost, price quote proposal
• Project establishment: includes product development release, generate project management schedule, patent search, defining product specifications based on original sample test results as well as results from patent searches, requirements and customer specifications
• Product design: includes 2D and 3D CAD parts and assembly drawing and solid modeling
• Rapid Prototype: includes Stereolithography (SLA) sample
• Tooling design: includes defining tools necessary for production assembly, mold design, and mold flow analysis
• Packaging design: includes defining product packaging, master carton and product labeling guidelines
• Mold fabrication: includes mold drawing and mold base purchase, mold cutting, mold polishing and fittings
• Sourcing and procurement: includes sourcing materials from local suppliers in China, samples and evaluation
• Mold trial and engineering evaluations: includes plastic mold trials and retrials, engineering debugs, product assembly for product testing, perform functional tests, final sample approval
• Pilot runs: includes releasing molds for injection, procurement of outsourced parts, small pilot runs, quality checks and engineering changes where necessary
• Logistics: includes fulfillment of initial purchase order and coordination with logistics for shipment preparation
