As 2021 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on the changes that this year has delivered to the design industry.

As you take your concept from an idea to a product, it’s essential to test it along the way. Testing your product is the key to success in the product design process.

When products are manufactured, the process follows a set of instructions laid out by the designer in their bill of materials (BOM).

Two highly effective and time-tested manufacturing techniques are Injection Moulding and Rotomoulding. Both techniques have their own distinct advantages and disadvantages and may or may not be suitable for your moulding requirements. 

If you’ve got an idea for a product, the prototyping stage is one of the most important steps. There is a lot of different jargon used around prototyping that can make it confusing, especially with the varying types and processes.

When you’re in the process of taking your idea from a concept to a product, creating a bill of materials is an important step.

When you’re looking to take your concept to the next stage of mass production, it’s important to approach manufacturers with the right set of details.

Prototyping helps you to validate your idea, get feedback, and visualise your idea in real life. To prototype means to develop the functionality, assembly, chosen material and mechanics of a design and to look at the technical aspects of your idea.

To prototype, means to develop the functionality, assembly, chosen material, and mechanics of a design; to look at the technical aspects of your product idea. At Dienamics, we offer both model-making & prototyping services, however generally speaking prototyping is a more worthwhile endeavor.

So, you’ve got a killer idea for a product that’s going to revolutionise your industry. But, how do you take your product from design stages to reality?

You might already know some of the key benefits of rapid prototyping from checking out our previous blogs. Here, however, we are going to let you in on the specific reasons why we use rapid prototyping.

As materials, technology, and circumstances change, so must the way we design and innovate products for manufacture… or they won’t be successful. Here we explore the reasons why design innovation is important in product manufacture.

In this article, we will dive into the top reasons why you should utilise rapid prototyping for your ideas, parts, and products.

When it comes to product design, I’d go as far to say that it’s impossible to reinvent the wheel. This is because the ability to create new things is founded on copying, transforming, and combining things with other things that already exist. Yes, the end result may be unidentifiable from that which inspired it, though it’s still integral in the process.

We will take a look at the 4 main steps you need to take to manufacture products: tool making, mass production, assembly and packaging.

DFM’ isn’t a service, it is an inherent requirement of a products’ design. If your product hasn’t been designed to be manufactured, it isn’t a product design at all, simply an expensive and unusable CAD file. 

China was long thought to be the top player in the cost-effective mass production of goods. However, the coronavirus crisis has highlighted Australia’s need to move away from our large reliance on overseas production.

Sustainable manufacturing is now more necessary than ever and product design plays an important role in creating the opportunity for sustainability in product manufacturing.
