EXPERTISE
Industrial Design
Our Industrial design team put the user at the centre of our product design and development process to design remarkable products. Understanding the requirements of the people who use products allows our designers to explore opportunities and refine features that lead to products being more desirable, efficient, effective and safe. At eg, we strive to maximise the appeal, usability and performance of the products that we design by following a proven industrial design process that gives them every chance of success in the marketplace.
Our Design Process
By gaining insight into product users, emotional and practical requirements, performance expectations and the marketplace, we are able to formulate a user requirements specification which details the needs and wishes of all stakeholders of a final system. This is a foundation upon which we can then explore functionality, colours, materials, finishes, performance, brand integration, and sustainability in an end-to-end design programme. The practical experience and pragmatism of our engineers ensure that design for manufacture, assembly, and cost are considered from the outset too.
Gaining a full picture of the product, and how and where it is used, is hugely important in the design process, especially with medical devices. Medical devices range from single-use mouldings to complex electromechanical assemblies that have to perform flawlessly with – or within – the human body. We work within an ISO 13485 framework to ensure any medical devices we develop are compliant with standards for safety, quality, risk management and traceability within the medical sector.
Forward Thinking
We understand that ‘extensibility’ is also a key consideration in the design process for many of our clients and our engineers will provide for this. This sometimes means designing a product with modularity in mind to ensure future iterations and functionality can be easily incorporated. Our team recognise that an expansive product range may follow a minimal viable development project, so we work with our clients to understand their vision, introduce a common design language, design modular products and explore future iterations and functionality.
Technology Solutions
We design across a range of platforms and technology and our refined development processes involve user insight techniques and testing, concept development, prototyping and feedback. This includes concept sketches, storyboard illustrating, 3D concept modelling and photorealistic renderings through to model making, rapid prototyping and practical testing. We also undertake graphical user interface design and integration of brand identity, as well as creating product graphics and peripheral design elements such as labelling and packaging designs.
