Product Development Solutions From One Partner

One accountable partner for the whole product program — research, design, engineering, prototyping, manufacturing and launch — instead of four vendors who each blame the other when the product does not work.

Our Expertise, Your Innovation

We offer many product development services. They cover the whole process of making a new product. Our team helps from the first idea to the final launch. Our skilled pros handle every step with care and new ideas.

Our main services show the key parts of product development. This makes sure your project gets the focus it needs.

Tailored Services Across Multiple Categories

Understanding that product development is not a one-size-fits-all process, we have structured our services into distinct categories:

What a full product development solution covers

A product development partner owns the whole program instead of one slice of it — feasibility, concept and industrial design, mechanical and electrical engineering, prototyping, testing, and the manufacturing hand-off. LA NPDT has run that full path since 2015 on more than 1,000 products, so one team stays accountable from the first sketch to the first production run. Comparing scope and pricing across firms? Start with product development services.

What is included

  • Concept design, industrial design and human-factors work
  • Mechanical, electrical and firmware engineering
  • Prototyping, from looks-like models to working engineering builds
  • Design for manufacturing, tolerance analysis and material selection
  • Testing support: regulatory pre-checks, safety and durability
  • Manufacturing hand-off, supplier sourcing and short-run production

What is not

  • Legal opinions on patentability or freedom to operate
  • Ongoing marketing, advertising or retail account management
  • Software-only products with no physical hardware
  • Idea-submission or invention-promotion packages

The six phases, and what each one produces

Product development phases, deliverables and typical duration
PhaseWhat you getTypical duration
01 Discovery & feasibilityRequirements, risk list, budget range1–3 weeks
02 Concept designSketches, renders, chosen direction2–6 weeks
03 Engineering & CADProduction-intent CAD, DFM review4–12 weeks
04 PrototypingWorking prototype and test results2–8 weeks
05 Validation & complianceTest reports, design freeze3–10 weeks
06 Manufacturing hand-offTooling package, supplier, first article6–16 weeks

The full ten-stage version, including the licensing and venturing branch, is mapped on the new product development process map.

What a product development partner costs

Budget bands from real programs. Every quote is scoped to your product, but these are the ranges most projects land in.

Typical product development budget bands
EngagementScopeTypical range
Single-phase engagementConcept design or a prototype build only$5k – $25k
Simple mechanical productDesign through manufacturable CAD and prototype$25k – $75k
Electromechanical / connected productHardware, PCB, firmware, enclosure, validation$75k – $250k
Regulated deviceMedical or safety-critical, full documentation trail$150k – $500k+

Product development services: common questions

What is a product development partner?

A product development partner is one firm that owns the whole program — research, industrial design, mechanical and electrical engineering, prototyping, testing and the manufacturing hand-off — rather than one discipline inside it. The practical difference is accountability: when a prototype fails, one team fixes it instead of a design studio, an electronics contractor and a factory each pointing at the other.

How do I choose a product development company?

Ask four questions. Can they show finished products in your category, not just renders? Do the engineers who would do your work join the sales call? Do they quote phase by phase with a cost range for each, or one opaque number? And do you own the native CAD, PCB and firmware files as they are produced? A firm that answers all four cleanly is rare, and it is the whole selection test.

Is it cheaper to outsource product development or hire in-house?

For one product, outsourcing is almost always cheaper. A full in-house stack — industrial designer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, firmware developer, DFM lead — costs well over $500,000 a year in salaries, and you need each of them for only a few months. Hiring in-house starts to pay once you are running several programs a year.

What does a full product development solution cost?

A single phase such as concept design or a prototype build typically runs $5,000 to $25,000. A simple mechanical product from idea to manufacturable CAD and a working prototype usually lands between $25,000 and $75,000. Connected and electromechanical products run $75,000 to $250,000, and regulated devices start around $150,000 because of the documentation and testing burden.

Can you take over a project another firm started?

Yes, and a large share of our work is exactly that: CAD that will not manufacture, a prototype that failed testing, or a factory quoting a price nobody expected. We start with a paid audit of the existing files, tell you plainly what is reusable, and quote the recovery phase by phase.

Who owns the design and the CAD files?

You do. Every engagement transfers full ownership of the deliverables, including native CAD, drawings, PCB files and firmware source, so you are never locked into one vendor to build your own product.

Wonderful to work with. Very professional and very eager to meet your needs as a company starting up or starting a new division within your company. Could not be more pleased with our results.
Heath CragerHeath CragerFounder & CEO, CPA2GO
This company is awesome. I run a medical device company and we required a number of accessories to be designed and built for our medical device. They delivered a polished design and printed the accessories on time using high-quality materials. I continue to work with them for all of our material needs.
