Our world-class New Product Introduction (NPI) engineering team has commercialized hundreds of products throughout consumer, industrial, and medical industries. Our NPI team sets a firm foundation for each customer-specific manufacturing solution and engages closely throughout the process to ensure products achieve required functionality, quality, and standards. NPI activities include:
Headquartered in suburban Chicago, the Optimal Design Manufacturing facility and co-located with the engineering hub span +50,000 sq ft. Onsite test labs for electrical, mechanical, and RF/antenna testing accelerate speed to market and de-risk product launches.
Product development is fast moving and requires capabilities that accelerate the development process. In order to compress timelines, Optimal Design leverages its own prototyping facility to expedite design iterations and time to market.
Our teams have sourced and qualified hundreds of prototype and production tools both domestically and offshore for our clients. We have spent the past two decades identifying, qualifying, and working with our global tooling partners and are able to provide a single point of contact and preferential pricing.
