Hi. Welcome to the office of Idea Zone Product Development. My name is Myles Christensen. New product process. We’ll start the project by signing an NDA. I’d be happy to sign one that you provide, or if you prefer, we can use the NDA that I have. The next step is for you to send me a description of the concept. Let’s say that you have an idea for combining a pencil holder and a tape dispenser. You can send me a picture using the art tools in your word processor, or you can combine photos of existing products and add descriptive notes, or you can try your hand at sketching the product. Using the description that you provide, I will create 3D CAD files of your new product. My preferred design software is Pro Engineer Wildfire 3. But I do have previous versions of ProE back to version 2001. Review & Tweak. So now that we have the design finalized and looking the way you want, it’s time to get a prototype made. There are a wide variety of prototyping processes, and you should choose the one that is the best fit for your particular product. I can coordinate the process of choosing a prototype vendor and ordering the prototypes. I can also have the prototypes sent to me for assembly and testing. The final step of the product development process is manufacturing. I can help you find the manufacturer that best fits the needs of your new product. My contacts include manufacturers who do both Asian and domestic tooling and production. Show less
