CLIENT
Nanci Smith, founder of Nanciland Innovations, partnered with LA NPDT to develop the Stealth Shaft Support.
The idea for this product was born while Nanci was working in adult product retail. As she interacted with customers in that setting, she realized that there was a need for a product to assist people who have difficulty maintaining an erection during sexual intercourse. With the proper silicone product design and development services, Nanci’s product would help many people complete and enjoy sex.
CHALLENGE
The challenge was to develop a silicone product design that would be safe to use, easy to wear, and inexpensively manufactured.
For example, the materials used in silicone rubber prototyping had to be safe for the human body. Additionally, the team needed to account for manufacturing and 3D printing limitations.
THE SOLUTION
Silicone product design and development are services offered at LA NPDT. To make a silicone rubber prototype, the team created CAD files, then made molds (through 3D printing or CNC machining techniques) for casting silicone.
By pouring liquid silicone into a 3D printed mold, we created prototypes. Through iterations of this process, a safe, user-friendly product was successfully developed.
With these prototypes, Nanci was equipped to seek investors, raising funds to manufacture the product. In addition to silicone product design and development, the team provided packaging design and connected Nanci to a manufacturer.
THE RESULT
With these prototypes, Nanci was equipped to seek investors, raising funds to manufacture the product. In addition to silicone product design and development, the team provided packaging design and connected Nanci to a manufacturer.
The Stealth Shaft Support has gone on to be recognized at the AVN Novelty Expo by AVN itself and Venus Adult News.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Never expected to invent something but had an idea in my head and was needing to get it in my hand. So i went to LANPD with an idea I had drawn out.
The team worked hard for me to make sure they understood everything.
I am more a visual person where they are about no#s but we were still able to work to get it exactly right.
They were able to bring my idea to life.
They worked to make sure to achieve exactly what I had in mind. Now I have a product that is being sold around the world!!
Konstantin and his team did an amazing job and I definitely recommend them if you have a product you would like to get from your head to hand.”
