Concept Engineering

Scope of Concept Engineering Services

 

1. Ideation & Conceptual Design

• Brainstorming sessions & innovation workshops

• High-level sketches, renderings, and mood boards

• Functional & aesthetic design exploration

2. Feasibility Assessment

• Technical viability analysis (materials, manufacturing, assembly)

• Risk identification & mitigation strategies

• Compliance with industry standards & regulations

3. Proof of Concept (PoC) Development

• Rapid prototyping (3D printing, mock-ups)

• Virtual simulations (CFD, FEA, digital twins)

• Functional testing of core mechanisms

4. Technology & Material Selection

• Evaluation of emerging technologies (AI, IoT, robotics)

• Material optimization for performance & cost

• Sustainability considerations (lightweighting, recyclability)

5. System Architecture & Integration

• Modular design approaches

• Interface definitions (mechanical, electrical, software)

• Compatibility with existing infrastructure

6. Cost & ROI Estimation

• Rough order of magnitude (ROM) costing

• Manufacturing process optimization (DFM, DFA)

• Lifecycle cost analysis

7. Intellectual Property (IP) Strategy

• Patentability assessments

• Design-around strategies for existing patents
