Industrial design and development services

Our industrial design services are specifically designed to assist you in realizing your ideas. We understand that industrial design is much more than just creating a good-looking product; it's about creating a product that meets your needs as well as the needs of your target audience while also being manufacturable, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable. That's why our industrial design services start with extensive research, preparation, and communication with you and all other stakeholders involved in the project.

But first, what exactly is industrial design? Industrial design is a relatively young field, emerging during the Industrial Revolution—barely 200 years ago. As factories began mass-producing goods, there was a shift from handcrafted items to products made on a large scale. This change brought about a need for designers who could blend the functionality of mass production with the artistry and soul of craftsmanship.Penny Park, a design historian, defines design as "a process of shaping surroundings and objects in that surrounding in a way to make them function and look as we want them to." This elegant definition perfectly captures the essence of industrial design—a field that balances creativity and practicality to shape the world around us. At the heart of industrial design lies the challenge of creating products that are not only efficient and functional but also aesthetically pleasing, bridging the gap between art and industry.

Before we start any design work, we conduct a thorough analysis of the market, your target audience, and your competition. This research helps us understand the current trends in the market, your specific needs, and the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors. We use this knowledge to inform our design decisions and ensure that the final product is not only visually appealing but also meets your needs and the needs of your target audience.

We work hand in hand with your experts

Once we have a solid understanding of the market and your specific needs, we work closely with you to define the scope of the project, set clear goals and objectives, and establish a timeline and budget. This stage is critical to ensuring that you and all other stakeholders are on the same page and that everyone understands what is expected of them. We believe that clear communication and transparency are key to the success of any industrial design project.
During the design phase, we work closely with you to create a product that is not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also manufacturable and cost-effective. We use the latest design tools and software to create detailed 3D models and prototypes, and we use our extensive knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes to ensure that the product can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively.

We consider good communication a key design element

In the world of product development, understanding key terms is crucial - whether you're dealing with 3D models, prototypes, or methodologies like agile. Clear definitions can make the difference between a smooth process and a frustrating experience.
At Mindsailors, we recognize that confusion over terms can be a significant pain point. That’s why we start each project with an educational phase, helping clients build a common language and align on critical concepts.

Our structured approach, including the Mindsailors industrial design process, is designed to clarify these essential terms and ensure everyone is on the same page from the outset.

Throughout the entire design process, we maintain open lines of communication with you and all other stakeholders, including manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users. We believe that collaboration and feedback are essential to the success of any industrial design project, and we encourage you and all stakeholders to provide input and feedback at every stage of the process.

In summary, our industrial design services are focused on research, preparation, and communication with you and all other stakeholders. We believe that by starting with a solid understanding of the market and your specific needs and working closely with you throughout the entire design process, we can create products that are not only visually appealing but also meet your needs and the needs of your target audience, are manufacturable, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable.
