Detailed Course Plan:
SKETCHING
Rough concepts are generated from an idea. This step converts a rough idea into
something that can be seen and processed
FEASIBILITY STUDY
In this step, research is carried out to predict if the product specifications can be
met with the available technology in market. If off- the- shelf standard components
aren’t available, it must be designed which requires extra time
CONCEPT RENDERING
In this step a real life rendering is generated based on the selected concept which
gives a precise idea as to how the product will look like after manufacturing.
Necessary feedback can be taken form all stake holders
COMPONENT SELECTION
Based on the feasibility study, standard components are selected to achieve the
required design objectives. It is best if the 3D CAD data is available for it, if not, it
must be generated
ROUGH CAD MOCKUPS
Based on the component CAD data, a rough 3D CAD layout is developed which
helps in rearranging the components to achieve the desired form factor of
product. It also shows if design can be produced in the shape and size imagined

DESIGN/CAD OPTIMIZATION/ SIMULATION
The rough 3D CAD layout is not enough to get the manufacturing drawings, it must
be optimized for performance and costing. This stage involved running the FEA
simulations based on the design objectives to achieve the best performance in the
least cost
PRODUCT VIDEO
The product video shows an animation which demonstrates the product
functionality to the clients or stake holders. Assembly, disassembly and exploded
views can also be included which showcases the internal features
MANUFACTURING DRAWINGS
Form the precise 3D CAD of the product, necessary data must be translated to the
shop floor, which communicates the design effectively. The necessary 2D/3D
views, dimensions, BOM, annotations are included that effectively communicated
the design
PHOTO- REALISTIC RENDERINGS
At last a virtual photo- shoot is done and lifelike images are generated which help in
visualization of the product before manufacturing (which involves a huge cost).
Necessary feedback can be obtained and minor changes can be done at this stage
Benefit form our years of experience in translating rough ideas into functional
prototypes. Get the financial freedom everyone dreams about by learning
functional product design skills.

DEMAND BASED CURRICULUM
Product design and development is a continuous and lifelong process. Every
product is different and so are the skills required to design it. So, we focus on
the user requirement and tune the content to their preference. The proportion
of a module can be increased or decresed based on the requirement or
preference. Use our years of experience in turning ideas into prototype and
come to speed as fast as possible. For details please visit (concealed information)
