There
is much more to industrial design than the generation of appealing
concepts. What good is a clever design if it can't be manufactured?
Services include the determination of the materials, construction,
mechanisms, shape, color, and surface finishes of the product, taking
into consideration human characteristics and needs, safety, market
appeal, and efficiency in production, distribution, use and maintenance.
Concepts:
Define
the product and the process. Production planning and control and
study of current trends and issues, comprehensive services include
all phases of bringing a product to market, from analysis to manufacturing.
With imagination and manufacturing knowledge, Daniel Soergel will
produce concepts that are surprising, generate excitement, and that
will accomplish your goals while outperforming your competitors.
Some of the tasks he may perform in this phase include:
brainstorming
sketches: 2D and 3D
mockups
planning
market studies
merchandising options
competitive product investigations
preliminary cost analysis
feasibility studies
product ergonomics and human factors analysis
product requirement documentation
Design
Development:
Explore
the requirements and goals to create answers. At this point the
product takes on form and scale. Daniel Soergel will investigate
a variety of manufacturing processes and determine what effect each
would have on the final function, form and cost.
develop product documentation and specifications
2D and 3D studies
work directly with vendors
what will it look like?
what's it made of?
how much is it going to cost?
Target
Market Analysis:
Analysis
of industrial products, competitors and consumers.

Manufacturing
drawings:
Computer
aided decision making and problem solving in industry utilizing
CAD and other computer and communication applications software.
A full 3D CAD service producing high quality drawings with the aid
of AutoCAD 2000.
virtual models
shop drawings
solid & surface modeling for prototyping
CAD illustrations
2D and 3D renderings
product graphics and type setting
preliminary tooling analysis
product control drawings
Prototyping:
Application
of manufacturing processes and testing including base material preparation,
forming, fastening and finishing processes. Model-making and prototyping
capabilities include machining, molding, and forming of metals,
plastics, and other materials. Based on your needs, Daniel can use
many methods to prototype the first articles of your project. The
best choice could depend on cost, accuracy, speed, appearance, ruggedness,
or any combination of the above.
Engineering:
Fuse
conceptual design with production realities. Manufacturers and other
vendors are brought into the development process to assure a smooth
and quick transition to production. Daniel Soergel will develop
a matrix to assure coordination of tolerances, specifications and
production schedules. This process results in a long-term comprehensive
manufacturing plan.
