Product design & development

We love creating new things, whether physical, digital or a combination of both. Do you have an idea for a new product? We accompany you throughout the entire development process, from user research to design and engineering to prototyping and implementation.

Sustainable products for tomorrow

Product design

Product design is not just about creating beautiful objects, but also about developing products that offer real added value. We think in terms of sustainable cycles throughout the entire product life cycle and attach great importance to the resource-saving use of environmentally friendly materials.

In doing so, we take current trends into account and research the needs of users.

From the outset, our product designers work closely with our engineers to develop forward-looking and innovative products that combine aesthetic appeal with technical feasibility.

In addition to virtual 3D visualisations, we can create physical prototypes in the early design phases to check the overall effect, such as aesthetics, ergonomics and functionality.

Project examples:

Product development in fast forward

development sprint

Development teams in large companies often face the problem of lengthy iteration loops and coordination with production. This is particularly pronounced in the initial idea phases, as workshops have to work through prioritised projects.

Start-ups often lack manufacturing capabilities or experience in technical implementation.

This is precisely where we are setting new standards with our development sprint in the interaction between creative space, development environment and prototyping implementation options.

Designing the interface between humans and machines

User Interface Design

As part of product development, we design intuitive interfaces between the people who use a product and the technology.

This includes the design of graphical user interfaces for apps and websites, but also interaction with physical devices, e.g. in the form of voice control, auditory feedback or haptic input and output.

In doing so, we draw on findings from  user research  and view the design of user interfaces as part of a holistic  user experience design.

We review the design of user interfaces at various stages of development in terms of their usability and user-friendliness (joy of use).

Project examples:

Holistic feasibility

Engineering

With our wealth of experience in a wide range of areas of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, we turn ideas into viable products.

Our expertise includes research, development, conceptualisation, design, construction and production planning in the fields of mechanics and mechatronics. With the help of programming and implementation of mechatronic systems, we develop technically highly functional yet cost-effective prototypes.

Our aim is to combine existing guidelines, standards and technical restrictions with unconventional and visionary approaches to innovation. In doing so,  we prioritize local manufacturing opportunities and value sustainable resource use and social manufacturing conditions. 

With our industrial-grade development workshop , we can quickly and easily turn intermediate solutions into reality in order to test their feasibility and functionality.

DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICAL PRODUCTS

MEDICAL ENGINEERING

We provide comprehensive support to medtech companies until their product is ready for market.

Medical technology demands the highest precision, not only in design, but also in safety, usability and sustainability.
We combine innovation and technology to create products that meet the most stringent requirements and truly help people in their everyday lives.

In collaboration with our
cooperation partner Barski Design, we create solutions that
combine design quality and technical
excellence.

Turning designs into reality

Prototyping

An idea becomes an innovation when it not only solves problems in theory, but can also be put into practice.

To this end, we have established a modern development workshop that combines both industrial and craftsmanship aspects.

Thanks to our in-house manufacturing capabilities, we always keep actual feasibility in mind during development. This saves us unnecessary iteration loops between development and production.

Project examples:

Diverse manufacturing options

Prototyping-Workshop

Our development and prototyping workshop, with its wide range of manufacturing capabilities, is perfectly tailored to our requirements in product design and engineering. Here, we can verify our designs at any time, quickly and cost-effectively: from model making to near-series, technical prototypes, almost anything can be realized.

Our equipment includes rapid prototyping systems, modern CNC technology, an electrical engineering laboratory, and traditional wood and metal construction.

In addition, we maintain a broad network of manufacturing partners to complement our own capabilities.
