What Services I Provide ?

Marketing products research

If you're in manufacturing and aim to identify high-demand products, conducting a market analysis before product design is advantageous. This will help you understand the market capacity of similar products, trends in the cross-section of your products, recommended retail prices for your products, and the expected turnover after certain time periods. Based on this information, you can make informed decisions about the profitability of your products. I can take it upon myself and provide you with a full report. As a result, you will get:

Market capacity report of similar products
Trends report in the cross-section of "your" products. Which sets of functions and in which segments are in demand by customers
Recommended retail prices "on the shelf" for your products
The author's supervision of the results of the industrial designeers' work.

Based on this data, you will be able to "estimate" the planned turnover after certain periods of time. With a proper understanding of the manufacturing processes of these products and your own expectations of marginality, you can already talk about future profits. After this, you will be able to accurately set the Terms of Reference for industrial designers, what exactly they should "draw" in what aesthetics, with what set of functions and at what production cost.

P.S. Moreover, product analysis can be performed in partnership with a large marketing agency like NIQ (ex JFK), for example, if such power is required.

Industrial product design

If you clearly understand the type of product you require or have a market analysis, I can help with the design. You need to provide information about the product's functions, aesthetics, and production costs. If you have your own manufacturing facility, please indicate the tools/equipment/machines you would use. After approximately some rounds of discussion, we will produce:

A set of design sketches visually describing your product
Description of the functions included in the visual part
Technical processes involved in the product idea
Specification for purchased parts
The author's supervision of the results of the engineers' work.

3d modeling in SolidWorks for production

Based on the design specifications and the description of the processes used by the industrial designer to create the product image, I can assist you with the industrial creation of your products in SolidWorks. Depending on your production requirements, such as the availability of tooling and machinery, the expertise of your workforce, preferences for hardware/fasteners, and the presence or absence of inter-factory cooperation, among other factors, we can provide you with:

An industrial model of your product, with a clear understanding of the manufacturing process
Technical information for production, including DXF cutting patterns, assembly drawings, welding drawings, and specifications for components and hardware.
Author's supervision during the production of a first product sample
Recommendations for product launch
