Design Innovation

Ideation

Throughout the industrial design consultation process, we support you in identifying the potential pitfalls and the possibilities for the development of your product. An important stage of design thinking is ideation – the process of discovery to find the hidden gem.

The first step is to obtain a clear brief from you to understand the business challenge and objectives. Then we take time for research, brainstorming, exploring openly and without limit the potential for your idea. Our expertise is in bringing our creative thinking, knowledge and experience in industrial design together to consider an array of unique and potential solutions.

Finally, we create sketches, models and rigs as required to clearly demonstrate the creative product ideas to all stakeholders and how these add value and tangible results. We’ll also outline the pathway to implementation, with the best solution to exploit market opportunities.

Technology Research

As product design consultants, we’re always keen to investigate futuristic design and the latest developments across the range of technologies. We believe that design is instrumental in finding pathways to address challenges, improve society and make life easier and better for humanity.

Our involvement with ground-breaking research, in both the physical and digital worlds, gives us the advantage of understanding the potential in innovative technologies and applying that knowledge to solve problems. By exploring these possibilities, we benefit from new technology, identifying solutions that change the way products are designed, manufactured and used.

This is why we work collaboratively with businesses, universities and research organisations. Adding to our knowledge and applying it commercially to your application to develop innovative new products. We have worked as a partner on many Innovate UK and Medical Research Council projects and can assist with the bid process for new technology-led projects.

Technology Development

Technology is driving change in every aspect of society. Our innovation service supports next-generation product development through the stages of the TRL model, both in the initial exploration and in supporting businesses to move from proof of concept to market.

We assess the potential of your project in detail, put theory into practice and determine how best to apply technology to your products. From observing basic principles and understanding the science through to experimental and technology demonstrators, our goal is to find ways to utilise and commercialise the output of the development to support you in meeting your business objectives.

Intellectual Property

Managing your intellectual property strategy correctly is as important as an effective product design process. It’s crucial that any patents are obtained at the right stage and time in the development cycle of your idea.

As part of the design process, we research existing intellectual property (IP), to identify possibilities, and to be sure your concepts does not infringe any existing IP. If this becomes an obstacle, we’ll explore ways your concept can progress, even looking at the possibility of acquiring existing IP.

Liaising with IPR specialists on Patents, Design registration and Trademarks, we can help you manage the IP process to the greatest commercial advantage.
