Analysis & Planning
A new idea, new consumer insights, market research, an invention or new technology often form a basis for a new product. We analyze all relevant input and carefully define the project’s boundary conditions; its starting points and the product specifications or a specified product roadmap and we set up a project schedule in close consultancy with you. Simple or complex. In both cases all stages of development are in good hands under one roof.
Technology & Market Research
We are aware of recent technical innovations in a variety of professions. We research your market and the facilities within your company. And then we look far beyond. Symbiosis will induce ideas new innovations. We connect the dots by research so technology, materials and production methods can realize new ideas.
Concept Development
Every new idea starts with a sketch. Every good design starts with an inspired range of sketch proposals. Simultaneously we execute research where it is most needed; sketch models and proof of principles etc. This is what makes us different. In this phase we meet on a regular basis, hoping to promote interaction and to collect your feedback. Freedom of choice and the ability to estimate chances and threats are the very preconditions of success.
Engineering & Prototyping
The first stage of engineering is characterized by defining the raw structure and the main components of the concept. Decisions are made to achieve our goal in the best and most (cost) effective way. In-house model making, prototyping and 3D printing is a vital element of our working process. Early stage investigation of actual proportions and crucial mechanical solutions is our way to reduce the risk of delay or surprises to the absolute minimum. In the end we deliver all 3D CAD data for the manufacturing of your first prototype or first out of tools.
Testing & Optimizing
Evaluation of prototypes and first out of tools will be shared with production partners in order meet the highest possible quality standards. We advise extensive testing and reviewing by end users after which we set up a optimization report and carry out an updated package of drawings. Again, a distinctive and risk avoiding service from Promea is to physically iterate prototypes. This way we can safely look forward to second out of tools or first production runs. Finally, that is what you want.
Final Production Data
We will be happy to deliver the project with a complete package of production data following the latest updates. This will secure full independence and a warranty for quality when it comes to quotation requests and outsourcing at third parties.
