SVC-06Services

Product Development

Product development is where all of our services combine: discovery, CAD, prototyping, testing, iteration, and manufacturing under one roof. You bring the problem; we run the engineering process that turns it into a producible product.

01When to use this service

  • You have a validated idea but no engineering team
  • You need to go from concept to sellable product on a budget
  • Your prototype works but isn't manufacturable at target cost
  • You need one accountable partner instead of five vendors

02Why MLP

What you get beyond the part.

No handoff losses

Design, prototyping, and production are the same team. Nothing gets lost in translation between a design agency and a factory.

Stage-gated spending

Work is structured in stages with defined deliverables, so you can stop, pivot, or continue at each gate with full ownership of everything produced so far.

Honest feasibility calls

If the physics, the market math, or the unit economics don't work, you'll hear it early — not after the budget is spent.

03Process

How the work runs.

  1. STEP 01

    Discovery

    Requirements, constraints, users, and success criteria.

  2. STEP 02

    CAD

    Concept and detailed design, reviewed against manufacturing.

  3. STEP 03

    Prototype

    Physical builds of increasing fidelity.

  4. STEP 04

    Testing

    Functional validation against the requirements.

  5. STEP 05

    Iteration

    Revise until the design earns production.

  6. STEP 06

    Manufacturing

    Small-batch production and assembly.

  7. STEP 07

    Production support

    Revisions, spares, and scaling guidance.

05Questions

Asked before, answered plainly.

What does engagement look like?

Stage by stage. Discovery is a fixed, small commitment; each later stage is scoped and quoted from what the previous one learned. You own all deliverables at every gate.

Can you take over a half-finished project?

Yes. We start with a technical audit of the existing design and give you a straight assessment of what's usable.
