Simple and cost effective design for manufacture

We consider in detail the Design for Manufacture DFM and Design for Manufacturing and Assembly DFMA with clients and contract manufacturers CMs. Detailing components and optimizing the selection of materials and manufacturing processes such as additive manufacture, injection moulding and CNC machining through to regulatory support. Our engineering and design methodology focusses on simplification and cost efficiency to improve manufacture, fabrication and ease of assembly. Considerations cover part count and standardisation, sub-systems, modular design, production processes, tooling design, quality control, environmental impact and meeting industry standards. The end goal is making a better products that are inherently recognisable at a lower cost.

What We Do

We design products for manufacture and embrace a Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) approach. Using our network of suppliers and supply chain partners our priority is to ensure that your product is not only technically feasible but also commercially viable. We provide all manufacturing documentation including tolerance analysis and FEA, delivering a final design data pack ready for transfer to manufacture and long-term successful product launch.

We engaged DesignEdge Cambridge Ltd over the course of three iterations of our in-ear headsets (our Biometric headset, Qualcomm TrueWireless Earbuds and sports wired version of the Qualcomm TrueWireless Earbuds). Our engagement lasted several months and resulted in the production of three form factors for our projects for our internal use during which time DesignEdge provided us with extremely valuable technical guidance, design help and support for our projects. We unveiled the headsets at CES in January 2018 and they have since received positive recognition in the market.

With the now well established relationship between DesignEdge and the Genevac development team our latest system builds on and complements the cutting edge design of the award-winning Rocket. Design Edge worked patiently and effectively with the Genevac team, guiding us through numerous iterations of the concept whilst adapting to our constantly evolving requirements. They enabled us to achieve a final design which represents the now recognisable Genevac brand image of sleek lines combined with rugged functionality. One of their the best designs yet, we are delighted with the reception the Series 3 HT has received in our industry and look forward to working with DesignEdge on future projects.
