After you have worked out the kinks and made your prototype more presentable, you can look into building a fully functional prototype. At this stage, you can find companies that can help you build a functional prototype that can further help you win investors and even file for a patent (since you will be the first to demonstrate a workable concept like this). Just keep in mind that your prototype still does not need all the bells and whistles included at this point; it just has to be good enough to show.

Once you get it to function properly, you just need to improve the aesthetics to make it more presentable.

By making it simple, we mean you should build a mini prototype first before anything else. Just make a list of the components you need, visit your local hardware store and construct the mini prototype.

This is where your investigative skills come in handy. This means going on the internet and looking at their website and social media pages, as well as seeing what people are saying about them on business review websites.

When you become your competitor’s customer, you can gain insights into your own business or the product you are developing depending on the good and bad things you learn from them. This goes beyond merely just buying from them, but actually interacting with them to see what type of service they provide to customers. Since you are researching your competition, do not be afraid to bombard them with questions and take note of important insights.

That is why it is a good idea to come up with a list of competitors so you know who you are dealing with.

The good thing about a prototype is that it need not be something fancy or expensive to produce.

Where possible, try to work with professionals that can ease the work; for example, to get your product manufactured, you can work with an experienced and capable manufacturer.

While being the jack of all trades means you get to enjoy a greater cut of the profits, it is impractical with the demands of modern life.

When you decide to take on every aspect of your idea alone, there is a chance you can end up being overwhelmed.

Get Others in Board

The best way to do this is to go directly and talk to the consumers using information gathering techniques like surveys, questionnaires and focus groups.

And before you enter the market, you must ensure that you researched it, gathering vital information that can help you take advantage of opportunities and gain a competitive edge.

Because of their control circuitry, brushless motors have a higher initial cost, which they more than make up for in efficiency and durability (no brushes to wear down). As you can see, brushless motors have ushered in a new generation of modern electric devices that are compact in size and offer better performance. Compared to conventional devices with brushed motors, the praise modern electric devices are getting is well deserved, despite the fact that they cost more. Modern electric devices are taking over, and many manufactures, as well as consumers, have wised up to their benefits and are not looking back.

Perhaps this is one area where brushed motors have a slight advantage – the fact that they cost less.

the motor of the modern electric will spin less.

Due to their brushless motors, modern electric devices are more efficient than conventional devices.

Product Ideas: The Feasibility Methodology is a white paper explaining how great inventors focus on creating great concepts, start-ups focus on cool prototypes, a bigger company wants to get into mass production. We have put together this white paper to decode the methodology required to achieve idea conceptualisation, prototype realisation, and product manufacturing.

Final technical drawings are created to allow accurate tolerance communication to vendors. These drawings clearly communicate the product specifications to vendors regardless of their experience or location. Next comes, vendors survey, selection, communication, and supervision, can take place. By the end of the production process quality checks are conducted to ensure conformity of the produced product.

design, optimisation.

ests are first carried out digitally by simulating real-world scenarios to estimate the product design ability and limitations. This helps identify key possible improvements required to overcome newly found limitations. Simulation simply helps identify how the product might change its shape or break when used by end-user. It could also highlight areas with excess material that could be removed; to save weight and cost without impacting functionality or looks. Filament based 3D printers are then used to create working models for mechanical parts. After which powder-based selective laser sintering (SLS) printers  are used to produce more accurate tolerances, which in turn helps improve tests accuracy. Some parts are usually CNC machined after this to make sure the test is as accurate as possible before the design optimisation is finalised.

At end of concept development the preliminary design is created. It focuses on creating the product framework, which is crucial for the product development. The visual representation is made using 3D CAD rendering which helps effectively communicate the product idea. The preliminary design bridges the gap between conceptual design and detailed design. At this stage, the overall product configuration is defined, and main features are outlined. Product specifications materialise and help the development team outline estimates of financial, technical, and manufacturing details of the product. By the end of this stage various stakeholders can easily provide feedback based on an accurate representation of the solution.

Abstract feasible ideas are developed to provide required solution and achieve set goals, turning vision into a reality. Features of the new products are selected from an array of possible features usually to provide most efficient solution. The concept is then sketched by hand to create visual representation of the idea and features and help the development process to proceed.

Some projects require onsite visits to evaluate operation challenges and better understand needs. For these projects the team travels to the site to observe and communicate with end-users within the client company to help set and evaluate design solution goals.

The research also investigates competition currently active in the market and relevant concepts and ideas that might develop into a competitor product in the foreseen future. A survey of prices currently offered for competitor products can also be done to estimate possible savings the new innovation could bring.

It is a process where success is an uphill battle and needs to be done with the appropriate steps to increase success.

With the information gathered from the market testing, a decision to launch the product or not is made. If it is a go, the marketing team comes up with a detailed plan to make the launch as smooth as possible. At this stage, a lot of financial resources are poured into manufacturing the product as well as advertising and other marketing activities. The company also comes up with a rollout strategy for the product, which normally starts with launching locally before going national and, if possible, international. Also, timing is crucial at this step and can lead to the delay of the product launch if it is not right. For instance, it would not make sense to launch the product in a time when the economy is down and people do not have money to spend on new products. New product development is a process that should not be taken lightly. Not every company that begins the process will see it through to the end, especially when they do not do it right. Furthermore, even if they manage to develop the product, they need to make sure it is something consumers want or need. The above steps make sure companies take a strategic and customer-driven approach to the product development process.

This is the final product testing before launch and commercialisation takes place. This is like a mini launch into the market to test the response of the users to make further tweaks if there are any minute complains. Furthermore, this allows the marketing team to strategise for the full introduction and get ahead of the competition.

If the company sees great potential in the product idea, a prototype will be made for testing. This process can take weeks or months in order to come up with a workable prototype and make sure it meets the safety and utility requirements of its target consumers. To make sure the prototype passes this stage, many companies involve the actual users and make adjustments based on their feedback.

Before they bring an idea to life, the company needs to determine if doing so will satisfy its overall objectives, which means there is a need for business analytics. This is where the company’s business analysts come up with projections in terms of cost, sales and profit. The analysed data is then sent up the management chain for a decision to be made on whether to go forward with the project or not.

Next, the company needs to know if they have feasible product ideas on their hands by conducting a feasibility study. To determine if they have a feasible product, the company has to evaluate the product idea financially and operationally. Not only that, looking at the feasibility of idea allows the company to determine the risks involves and take measures to minimise them.

Not all product ideas will be worth pursuing, and the bad ones need to be filtered out from the good. This is the whole point of idea evaluation stage, which involves screening each idea until there are only a handful of them left. This step is crucial to finding out which products are worth pursuing and will contribute to the company’s growth and profitability.

Evaluation of the Idea

NPD always starts with idea conceptualisation, which means brainstorming great product ideas. The aim of this exercise is to innovate, and usually leads to hundreds and even thousands of product ideas. At this stage, the company looks internally and externally, spending hours braining storming to come up with ideas to evaluate.
