At the proof of concept stage, we work with you to transform your idea, thought, or sketch into a design with a working and functioning prototype that mimics the intended component and prospective use in a device.
High-level outputs
- Execute agreements and open a design history file (DHF)
- Capture concept development ideas
- Begin prototyping and performance testing
- Assess the manufacturability of the concept component
- Complete cost modeling scenarios
- Initiate a risk management plan
Results
We construct a prototype to demonstrate the concept. The Component Design team reviews and approves the prototype and other deliverables before moving on to the next phase.
Tools
We use a detailed design development process—following established standard operating procedures and ISO requirements—to consider and plan for every requirement for your component, including user needs and indications for use, if applicable, and performance requirements. We work closely with you to discuss trade-offs, align on key decisions, and find the best solutions for your goals.
