Product Development Solutions

No. These are typical solutions — the requests we actually get, grouped by the situation you are in and what you need to walk away with: "I need a prototype built", "I need to know whether this is even possible", "we need engineering capacity for our innovation group".

Several solutions draw on the same underlying design and engineering work, packaged differently. The development process itself, stage by stage, is mapped separately on the new product development process map.

Match it to what you are asking for. You want one team to carry the product all the way to manufacturing: Turnkey Product Development. You are not sure what to build or whether it fits your business: Product Discovery.

You need to know whether it works and at what cost: Feasibility Check and Proof-of-Concept. You need the product defined — components, materials, assembly: Technical Concept Design. You just want it in your hands: Prototype Development.

The concept is settled and you need a factory: Engineering and Design for Manufacturing. You need ongoing capacity for a team: Innovation Partnership and Execution.

No. Every solution is scoped and quoted on its own and ends with files and findings you own, so you can stop or take the work elsewhere at any point. Most clients book one, see the output, then decide. Turnkey exists for people who would rather not manage the hand-offs between solutions at all.

Product Discovery runs $10k–$25k, Feasibility Check and Proof-of-Concept $5k–$50k, Technical Concept Design $15k–$40k, Prototype Development $5k–$150k+, Engineering and Design for Manufacturing from $30k, and Innovation Partnership $20k+ à la carte. A Turnkey Product Development program starts at $35k. Part count, electronics and regulatory requirements move those numbers most.

Product Discovery 4–8 weeks, Feasibility Check and Proof-of-Concept 4–12 weeks, Technical Concept Design 6–12 weeks, Prototype Development 2–24+ weeks, Engineering and Design for Manufacturing 8–20 weeks. Innovation Partnership is ongoing. A full Turnkey Product Development program runs 3–24 months depending on complexity and regulatory burden.

Yes. Prototype Development is a standalone solution, $5k–$150k+ over 2–24+ weeks. You tell us what the prototype needs to accomplish — we work from sketches, AI renderings, a written description, or existing CAD — and we determine the design, engineering, and fabrication required to get you there, then build it in our own shop. We will also tell you plainly what that prototype will and will not prove before you spend the money.

You do. Every solution is work-for-hire: the CAD, drawings, BOM, test data and reports are yours as they are delivered, not at the end of some longer program. We sign an NDA before technical discussions.

Yes. Design, engineering and prototyping happen in our own shop in Ruston, Louisiana, and we run projects remotely for clients across the United States with weekly working sessions. There are no offshore hand-offs on our side.

Yes. We handle prototyping and low-volume production in house and manage tooling and higher-volume manufacturing through vetted partners, so the same team that engineered the product owns the transfer to production.

Fixed fee. Each solution is scoped and quoted against a written deliverable list, so you approve a number before work starts. Changes to scope are priced when they are raised, never billed as a surprise.

A Turnkey Product Development program — discovery through engineering, prototyping and the first production batch — starts at $35,000 and runs 3 to 24 months, with complexity, electronics and regulatory burden setting where inside that you land. Booking the solutions separately usually totals a similar range. Tooling and ongoing production runs are separate and quoted by the manufacturer.

You get a manufacturing package, and we can run the supplier search, quoting and first-article review with you — or keep low-volume production in our own shop while volumes are still small.
