About this video
Preparing your product design for manufacturing is one of the most important steps in product development. During this stage your concept is corrected taking into account production and assembly-related nuances. This is an opportunity to reduce the cost of your product by selecting a proper manufacturing technique and optimizing the design for it. This is one of the processes our team excels in. Having manufacturing and engineering background allows us to select the proper materials and methods, and prepare all the documentation required by manufacturing companies. This typically includes deta

Have a product to build?
We handle concept design, engineering, prototyping and manufacturing hand-off in house — the same process shown in these videos.

Almost everything on this channel was produced alongside a real client programme rather than as marketing filler. Some clips are product animations built to explain a mechanism to a licensee or a retail buyer, some document how a prototype was machined, printed or assembled, and some are episodes of our podcast covering developments in product design and manufacturing.
We publish them because most of the questions inventors ask are easier to answer by showing than by describing. Seeing how a part comes off a printer, how an overmoulded grip is cast, or how a concept is judged in a design review tends to settle expectations about cost and schedule far faster than a written explanation.
LA New Product Development Team is a US design, engineering and prototyping group based in Ruston, Louisiana. We take hardware products from an initial idea through research, industrial design, mechanical and electronic engineering, prototyping and a manufacturing hand-off, and every video here comes out of that work.
