Product Development Process - Engineering

Individual part design is a foundational skill for product designers or design engineers. The best part designs are simultaneously driven by form and function. Manufacturing constraints, performance requirements and product life cycles are also woven into the process. 3D CAD modeling software is the primary tool used to develop parts

A mechanism is a part or set of parts that receive an input and converts it into a useful output. Many seemingly simple consumer products have very clever mechanisms built into them while other products are themselves integral mechanisms. Mechanisms range greatly in size and complexity.   These mechanisms can be

Electromechanical design deals with electromagnetic principles. When designing a device such as an enclosure for a PCB or a user interface that utilizes electronic components, special considerations must be taken. For example, many electronic enclosures need to be designed to resist electromagnetic penetration and reduce their electro magnetic emissions. Some

How a product is made and at what scale has a massive impact on the actual geometry of the product at both the component level and the assembly level.  At the component level, there are many nuances for each different type of manufacturing process such as plastic injection molding, sheet

How a product is made and at what scale has a massive impact on the actual geometry of the product at both the component level and the assembly level.  At the assembly level, the process in which a product is assembled can have a massive impact on the cost of

When a product is ready to be made there are specific types of documentation that manufactures need so that they can make the product. These documents are typical 2D Drawings and 3D CAD files. These documents are used to communicate all the information required by the manufacturer so that they
