What is Product Engineering?

Product engineering involves researching, creating, testing and improving product ideas to ensure they are robust and work exactly as intended once manufactured. It interweaves through every stage of product design and is essential when bringing any new product to market.

Common types of product engineering that your product may require include mechanical engineering and electronics engineering. If you are looking for a team with specialist skills in product engineering, you’re in the right place.

Our expert engineers and designers can successfully carry your product idea from concept to production without taking any shortcuts and within tight deadlines. We’ll ensure your product is well-made and robust so you eliminate post-manufacturing quality issues right from the get-go.

Why Our Clients Love Working With Us

Types of Engineering We Can Help With

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering (also known as mechanical product design) relates to the design of components, parts and systems that make a product function. At Paraform, our mechanical engineers will pull apart and put back together multiple products and systems as we test the best option for your product idea.

Electronics Engineering

If your product idea involves electronic functions or components, we will also need to incorporate electronics engineering as part of the process. Not only will we design the electronic system, but we’ll also help you source the highest quality components and find the ideal manufacturer that will match your quality expectations.

FAQs

What products can mechanical engineers assist with?

Our mechanical engineers can assist with the design and engineering needs of any product that requires the movement of physical components in order to function.

It’s about more than just the nuts and bolts. One component out of place can impact the user experience and adoption of your product if it does not function the way your target market expects it to.

That’s why we go to the next level with our testing to ensure your design is not only mechanically sound but also user-centric and can make a real impact in people’s lives.

If I already have my electronics engineered, can you help design the rest of my product?

Absolutely. We can help you no matter what state your project is in. You’ll work closely with our directors throughout the entire journey as we plug any gaps you need to get your project through to manufacturing.

How much does product engineering cost?

Bringing a new product to market is no easy feat 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 also delivers a tangible benefit for its intended users. Not to mention the hard costs associated with 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 nimble. We leverage our engineering expertise and advanced processes to bring products to market fairly quickly compared to industry averages. This means we can often help you launch your product within a quicker timeframe but without cutting any corners along the way.

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 your goals can be met within your deadline.

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