Full ODM Development

From Concept to Manufacturable Product

For brands and projects that need a product which does not exist yet. Design, structure, optics, prototyping and tooling handled as one assessed project — with the commercial terms written down before tooling begins.

Stage 01

Requirement & feasibility review

We review the intended use, target market, installation conditions and volume before anything is drawn. Not every concept is worth tooling, and we say so at this stage.

Stage 02

Appearance, structure and optics

Industrial design direction, housing structure, heat path, lens and diffuser selection, and mounting logic are developed together rather than in sequence.

Stage 03

3D printing and prototype rounds

Rapid prototypes make the concept physical early, so fit, finish and light behaviour can be judged before tooling money is committed.

Stage 04

Tooling for metal or plastic parts

Extrusion dies, injection moulds or machined parts are produced as required. Tooling cost, ownership and authorisation are agreed in the contract before work starts.

Stage 05

Sample confirmation and written specification

Iterations continue until the physical sample and the version-controlled specification sheet agree. That pair becomes the production baseline.

Stage 06

Volume production and quality control

Production, in-process checks, ageing and pre-shipment inspection against the agreed baseline. Reference lead time is project-specific and usually at least two months.

Commercial terms to settle up front

  • Tooling cost and who pays for it
  • Ownership of tooling and of the resulting design
  • Confidentiality and non-disclosure
  • Authorisation to use the design, including after the project ends
