New Product Development
In this phase, the most important thing is a user-centric approach. It is useful as it guarantees that your product offers the solution the users want. Since the first prototype, invite users to test your product and constantly work towards improving the user experience.
Designing and Engineering Phase: After the idea and concepts have been clearly defined, it is time for you to start designing and engineering. The prime focus of the Design phase is on how the product feels, while the Engineering phase revolves around the functionality of the product.
The beginning of the design phase is with something as simple as sketches. It is important to understand the shapes and different parts that the design will have.
The aim of this phase is to have a non-functional prototype. When you reach this phase, you’ll need to define how the device you have in mind would entertain the cat. What would be the movement of laser or feathers? Would this be a rugged device or a designer product? To save time and resources during the next phase, refine the concept as much as you can.
Engineering phase: While you are designing the product, it is important to focus on the Engineering phase. This is because both take place at the same time.
It is time to check the reliability of the product and how it works. The engineering phase must end with a functional prototype that focuses on the core features of the product.
To find the most efficient solution, it’s normal to create prototypes that use different components. Hardware development should be a repetitive process. The improvement in the project is only possible when you test the prototypes with users and gather valuable feedback.
For instance, in the Engineering phase, 5 different functional prototypes would be created that would be tested by users and the feedback would be shared.
Prototyping phase: It is time to combine the results of the Design and Engineering phases. In this phase, it is to be checked that the resulting prototypes can be manufactured at large scale or not. If not, this means that some design or engineering features will need to be removed.
During the Prototyping phase, the product will be tested and validated from the perspective of design and engineering. In case the product is validated, one last step would be: production validation. As soon as the product and the manufacturing process are validated, the Prototyping phase ends.
