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.
