How to learn industrial design

To learn industrial design, you must complete formal study. The majority of Industrial Designers have a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design. In Queensland, study Industrial Design at Griffith University and QUT. Dienamics recommends that students completely internships with industry experts to gain real world experience.

Why learn Industrial Design

Industrial designers bring creativity into the manufacturing of products to make them the best they can be. If you’ve got both creative and technical skills, then a career in industrial design may be the way to go.

What is Industrial Design

Industrial designers combine creative and technical skills to design commercial and consumer products including tools and appliances. They take products from a concept in a customers head to a fully functional product.

How important is Industrial Design

Industrial designers design products that we use everyday, like fridges, appliances, laptops, and cars. They take these products from a concept in the customer’s head to a fully functional product. Industrial designers also play a role in establishing the aesthetics of the product to ensure that it’s ‘on-brand’.

What is product design

Good product design is all about designers aiming to improve how people feel when using the products they create. Designers assist brands to make more sustainable, long-term products.

Can a product design be copyrighted

Yes, applying for a copyright costs about $35 per work/product and can take approximately 6 weeks or less. For an added fee, you can apply for additional rights such as the right to file for statutory damages (you pre-designate how much your work is worth), which can be used later to increase the potential damages you might receive if another is found in court to have violated your copyright.

What is product design process

Research users and problems, Design and Prototype, Test with users, Refine the design, Launch product, Measure product success

How product design can change the world

Sustainable manufacturing is now more necessary than ever and product design plays an important role in creating the opportunity for sustainability in product manufacturing. Product designers can design products that are more Abundant, Easily reproduced, Renewable, Recycled or Recyclable; and/or, Biodegradable

As one of the only players in the product design game with a true in-house, end-to-end service, Dienamics offers peace of mind every step of the way.

From concept assessment to product design, prototypes to manufacture, we know the best way to keep control of a project is to keep it under one roof.

Welcome to the OneSource Product Development Process

A true end-to-end suite of services you can trust to mould your idea into a quality, cost effective product.

The Dienamics OneSource product development process comprises four clearly defined steps.

By accessing OneSource services in a staged fashion you can manage your exposure, and pay only for the services you commission, when you commission them.

Stage One: Concept assessment

Articulation and formalisation of your aspiration
The dream you have for your product. Harvesting as much information as possible at this stage will better inform the next stage of the process.

Write and agree on the design brief
Ensuring we’re on the same page regarding scope, objectives, requirements and budgets from the outset is essential in drawing up a roadmap for the journey we will take together.

Quotations
Presented in stages this projection of investment requirements means you can minimise any initial outlay and manage your cash flow more effectively.

Stage Two: Product design

Design drawings brought to life
Here initial concept design drawings are developed to ensure all considerations have been accommodated. Detailed consideration of issues such as end use, operational conditions, warping and material tolerances, through to packaging and distribution requirements, combine to mould your idea into a pre prototype drawing.

Stage Three: Prototype

The “proof of concept” stage
Your fully functioning OneSource prototype is used to test the product and identify any issues. The prototype is vital in pin pointing any production changes and/or rectifications which may be needed to ensure optimal performance and cost efficiencies. Should it prove necessary further prototypes are developed with a view to ensuring the tools and moulds used for manufacture guarantee a quality outcome.

Stage Four: Manufacture

Where Dienamics’ OneSource rubber meets the road
This stage is where the prudent and comprehensive preparation undertaken by our experienced professionals really pays off.

Here everything is considered. From the quality of steel used for tools, to mould flow and drops, allowances for latitudinal shrinkage and pressure application – this is (quite literally) where your idea is moulded by experience!
