INDEX / SVC.02 NPD / SVC.02.A — CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

From rough idea to a concept worth building.

Concept engineering that turns a problem statement into modelled, costed options — packaging, mechanism and manufacturing route weighed against each other long before geometry hardens.

FROM PROBLEM STATEMENT TO A COSTED CONCEPT — TRADE STUDIES, MODELS AND HONEST FEASIBILITY
.01Requirements & Design Brief CaptureUsers, duty cycle, volumes, standards and cost targets written down and agreed — the brief every later decision is measured against.
.02Concept Sketches & Layout StudiesHand sketches worked up into CAD layouts fast, so the shape of the problem is visible rather than argued about.
.03Packaging & Envelope StudiesBoards, batteries, motors and service access packed into the available envelope, with clearances and routing proven in the model.
.04Mechanism & Kinematics ConceptsLinkages, hinges and drives laid out and motion-checked in SolidWorks before anyone commits to a housing around them.
.05Trade Studies & Concept ScoringWeighted scoring across cost, risk, manufacturability and timeline — the reasoning written down so the decision survives staff changes.
.06Early Structural & Thermal ChecksFirst-order hand calculations plus coarse FEA and thermal runs in ANSYS — enough to kill an unworkable idea early.
.07Material & Process SelectionMoulding, casting, sheet metal, machining or fabrication chosen against your volumes, with material grades called up by name.
.08Concept Models & Photoreal RendersKeyShot renders and clean concept CAD for stakeholder sign-off, investor decks and early supplier conversations.
PROCESS — FOUR CHECKPOINTS

How a concept gets proven

STEP.01
Brief & constraints
We capture the problem, the users, the volumes and the hard limits — envelope, cost, standards — before a single line is drawn.
STEP.02
Concept generation
Three to five credible routes modelled far enough to be judged, not just sketched. Each one costed against the same brief.
STEP.03
Trade study & selection
Concepts scored on weighted criteria with your team in the room, and the scoring issued alongside the recommendation.
STEP.04
Concept pack issue
The chosen route ships as CAD, renders, a costed bill of materials, a risk register and a test plan — ready for detail design.

Before you ask

A problem statement, target volumes and any hard constraints — envelope, cost, standards. Sketches, a competitor sample or a half-finished CAD file all help, but none are required.
