Lighthouse offers comprehensive support at every stage of product development, from initial research and ideation, concept development, 3D modelling, prototyping, through to the final design. We can guide you through each step, ensuring your product is ready for market success.
Concept Development
Product development advances a new or existing product and moves it forward to the next stage of its evolution. Lighthouse can assist in getting your fresh idea off the ground into something tangible and continue that development right up to the final stage of design.
We implement industry leading software to enhance your design and give you more insights before investing in physical prototypes. To keep prototyping costs down we offer a 3D printing service to improve turn-around times too.
Whether you're developing a new idea or refining an existing product, we can guide its evolution through research, iterative design, and testing. Our approach ensures the final result meets both aesthetic and functional needs while also aligning with your brands identity and resonating with your target audience.
3D Modelling (CAD)
Refine your brand identity and enhance your design by identifying challenges early, before investing in prototypes and hardware. Creating 3D CAD models enable exploration of a wide range of design possibilities, from aesthetics and functionality to colours and assembly processes.
Our use of advanced surface modelling techniques pushes us past conventional forms, unlocking greater creative potential. Smooth, flowing surfaces can be used to enhance aesthetics, but also allow you the freedom to make the form without constraints.
Seeing your product in its final form gives you the complete picture before you bring into the real world. With the use of virtual assemblies, you test the alignment and clearance of moving parts, and identify construction issues early, preventing delays once the manufacturing process has begun.
Prototyping
Bringing a design to life for the first time is always an exciting milestone, and with 3D printing and CAD modelling, it’s easier than ever. We can help turn your idea into a tangible prototype, offering hands-on insights that virtual models alone can't provide.
Prototyping streamlines a product’s development. Testing designs early on preventing reworks later down the line, they help construct and refine your vision and enable you to communicate your vision with team members, stake holders and investors. Even small-scale models can be crucial for shaping the path for future development.
Functional prototypes not only allow for testing of individual parts but also give users the chance to trial the product during development, ensuring it's fit for purpose upon completion. At Lighthouse, we have extensive experience in creating a wide range of prototypes, from simple test rigs to exhibition-ready show models.
