Industrial design consultancies assist companies in developing concepts into physical products, reducing costs, selecting materials, and registering patents. They can also generate design concepts and help with product development and manufacturing contracts.
An industrial design consultancy is a type of firm comprised of industrial design professionals who assist a company or individual in developing a concept into a physical product through the application of their professional knowledge. This industrial design consultancy also helps clients achieve various manufacturing and production goals by using its expertise to reduce end-to-end overhead and direct production costs. They can also help their customers in the area of selecting the various materials for the production process, as well as in the area of registering patents for their products.
Assuming that a company is trying to create a specific concept for a vacuum cleaner, it can hire the services of an industrial design consultancy to fulfill this mission. The industrial design consultancy will analyze the company’s concept in order to discover the various attributes such as the company’s objective, which may be the development of a more ergonomic or aesthetically pleasing product. In cases where that company has not yet completely defined the concept, industrial design consultancy will help with this, developing a complete concept that can be used as a springboard for product development. Once that’s done, they’ll push the concept further, developing a sort of physical look for the company to give an idea of what the product will look like after production. In the vacuum area, this could be a vacuum prototype or a three-dimensional representation of the proposed product, giving the customer the opportunity to review the product and share constructive feedback.
Where the client has no concept, industrial design consultants can help generate design concepts. After prototype approval, industrial design consultants can also help with product development by registering patents and arranging the contract to manufacture the product for the customer. During this process, they will use their considerable in-house knowledge of the industry to offer the customer a competitive agreement on a pricing structure for the mass production of the product, with the aim of providing the customer with options that will lead to a reduction in costs by the manufacturing process.
