DESIGN FLOW
DESIGN PLANNING - Asking the Right Questions
Establishing a solid foundation for the execution of a design process is a top priority, as it sets the stage for a smooth and efficient workflow. Carefully vetting all potential questions, considering every aspect, and leaving no detail unexamined ensures that the process unfolds with clarity and precision. By proactively addressing uncertainties and uncovering hidden challenges, our clients can achieve more successful results while minimizing unexpected obstacles and costs that could otherwise disrupt progress. This thorough approach fosters innovation, enhances problem-solving, and ultimately leads to a well-executed and refined final designs.
PRODUCT DESIGN - The Exploration
This is the part of the design process that we've all studied and perfected – sketching, rendering, and creating quick surface models. As a good friend of ours once humorously put it, 'makin' the fancy.' It's the stage where creativity and imagination come alive, and we get to see our ideas take shape in a visually appealing way. Fortunately, we're not just skilled in the creative aspects; we're also highly savvy in the rest of the process, from conceptualization to engineered execution. This well-rounded expertise allows us to seamlessly integrate our artistic vision with technical precision, ensuring that our designs are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound.
REVIEW - Development Collaboration
We understand that your time is valuable and that you engage our services to alleviate some of your workload. Our Zoom meetings enable you to stay informed about developments without dedicating hours to hosting meetings or traveling. Using our dedicated Zoom meetings and on-screen sketching, CAD viewing and note-taking capabilities, we can meet with you without disrupting your day.
ENGINEERING - Capabilities and 3D Data
We are frequently asked about the usability of our data. The answer is straightforward: our data is highly usable. Initially, our models are created in Rhino as surface models to convey the overall gesture and aesthetics of our designs. These surface models can be imported into various engineering platforms in multiple 3D formats, serving as guidelines for developing engineered parts. Additionally, we can take this process a step further by creating engineered parts in SolidWorks for your use or modification at a later stage.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT -Mapping the Way
Providing direction, support, and visuals is crucial for maintaining team alignment and efficiency throughout a project. Clear objectives and task assignments help ensure everyone understands their responsibilities and deadlines, while regular updates keep the team informed about progress and challenges. Supportive measures include feedback and mechanisms to help team members perform effectively. By utilizing visual tools like Google Slides, which allow real-time collaboration and easy sharing, our team can maintain a cohesive workflow and keep all stakeholders informed and aligned with project goals and progress.
