What is Industrial Design?

Industrial design services focus on designing and developing products for mass production.

Industrial designers work to create products that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and user-friendly, with an emphasis on efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the manufacturing process.

At Paraform, our ability to blend creativity, technical engineering skills and problem-solving set us apart. Our industrial design process is lean and agile, allowing us to significantly reduce your costs and speed to market.

Our Industrial Product Designers Merge Artistry With Engineering

Good design is felt, not spoken. It’s aesthetic yet functional. And it sells out fast.

We’re in the business of bringing innovative, user-centred and sustainable designs to life. With over 30 years of combined industrial design experience, we have worked with countless organisations to bring new products to market in record time and without sacrificing quality or aesthetics.

FAQs

Can you work as an outsourced industrial design company?

Yes, we can. We frequently work as an outsourced industrial design partner for corporates or large businesses that need specialist skills that we can offer in-house. 

Does industrial design involve robust product engineering?

Yes. Our team includes both designers and engineers, which is why we’re able to merge artistry with engineering excellence in every design we work on.

How much does industrial design cost?

Being able to mass produce a product is no easy endeavour and generally costs upwards of $20,000. 

There are many aspects involved in research, development, prototyping and testing to ensure the product meets your expectations of quality and delivers a tangible benefit for its intended users. Not to mention the hard costs of material sourcing and manufacturing your product.

I’m on a tight deadline for launching my product. Can you work within the timeframe I need?

Our team is lean and agile. We leverage our expertise and advanced processes to bring products to market quickly compared to industry averages. This means we can often help you launch your product within a shorter timeframe but without cutting corners.

If you’re under a very tight deadline, it is best to book a free consultation with one of our directors so we can assess if you can meet your goals within your deadline.

As many aspects are involved in bringing a new product to market, we need to allow enough time to complete each stage correctly.
