For startups and scaleups in product development, the path from idea to launch is packed with critical decisions. Small batch production has become a game-changer, allowing companies to navigate the market faster, gather insights, and refine their products based on real-world feedback.

From the materials we choose to the finishes we apply, every decision in product design impacts durability, functionality, and sustainability. A well chosen material ensures strength and purpose, while the right finish enhances longevity and user experience.

Capturing your product in its best light is essential to showcasing its unique qualities. At our in-house studio, we specialise in photography and videography that brings your product to life, from the smallest detail to the overall design.

As we see it, your products should last a lifetime. With that in mind, we built a custom configuration tool to future-proof the EL4P, allowing you to adjust channels and settings as your needs—and the musical landscape—evolve.

By understanding how things are made—what’s called "Design for Manufacturing" (DFM)—designers can make prototypes that aren’t just pretty but also practical for production. They can avoid design mistakes and make sure everything works right before going into full-scale production.

In product development, 3D printing accelerates iterations, reduces costs, and enables innovation. Whether you need quick prototypes, functional testing, or small-batch production, understanding these technologies allows you to leverage their full potential.

Incorporating in-house 3D printing technologies, such as our Bambu X1-Carbon and UniFormation GK3 Ultra SLA printers, allows us to rapidly test and refine our designs, ensuring that each iteration meets both functional and ergonomic requirements.

Product design is a fascinating and challenging process that requires turning ideas into reality. At Engineering Lab, we understand that prototyping is a crucial step in the product design process. It allows us to test and refine the design, explore creative alternatives, and save time and money while improving communication with stakeholders. Let's dive into the awesome benefits of prototyping.
