Product Design -
Optimized for Manufacturing
Outdesign is a product design and development company. We help startups, inventors and small businesses around the world create innovate, easy to manufacture products that stand out.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
According to a study at Rolls-Royce, a product’s design determines 80% of it’s manufacturing cost. Keeping in mind the huge impact of product design on the overall business, we put DFM (Design for Manufacturing) at the core of our design philosophy.
Our holistic approach to product development enables us to create well balanced products that are much more than just look and feel.
As a demonstration of our philosophy put into actual practice for our clients, here is a
case study of how, when a client hired us and another designer to design the same part, not only did our design perform better and last longer but being highly optimized for manufacturing, it cost them 25 TIMES less to manufacture!
