Product Design & Manufacture

I am able to provide:

  • Value Engineering studies.
  • Design concept and feasibility studies.
  • 3D Visualisation and animations.
  • 2D production drawings.
  • Materials and manufacture selection.
  • Marketing requirements and liaison with clients and suppliers.

The key element is a Value Engineering Study.

Value engineering is a process where each of your products is considered and analysed in relation to its function.  The outcome is to remove or redesign parts without compromising the original function for a low product cost, or indeed improve the function of the product.

This can be achieved through the following ways:

  • Simplifying the design
  • Reducing the number of parts
  • Optimizing part design to save on raw materials
  • Using substitute materials to save on costs

My aim is to provide innovative engineering design, whilst fulfilling functional requirements and creating an aesthetic appeal.  I can offer an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the design innovation process, materials selection, production process selection, including market research and commercial awareness.

Areas of interest include:

  • Industrial.
  • Scientific.
  • Commercial.
  • Domestic.
  • Medical.
