Concept, design & Prototype

Turning Your Product Ideas into Reality

We transform your product ideas and requirements into physical models and derive an opto-mechanical specification from them. Our team provides top-tier opto-mechanical design and assists in finding and liaising with suitable suppliers.

How we work

The Process

01

Concept Phase

We develop an initial specification for your idea, assess its feasibility, and provide a first draft. This includes performance analysis, tolerancing, and a cost-performance calculation.

If your idea is feasible and meets your requirements, we move to the next phase.

02

Detailed Design

We finalise the optical, mechanical, and metrology designs of your product. This phase includes final tolerancing and the development of an assembly and alignment strategy for the prototype.

You decide here if your product should be built.

03

Prototyping

We bring your idea to life by building a prototype! This includes managing the supply chain, sourcing, testing, documentation, and installation as per your requirements.
