User-centered engineering product design

Award winning DesignEdge has over 30 years of experience in developing successful products from technical innovation, 3D CAD modelling, prototype engineering and mechanisms through to simulation and analysis. CAD software is used to create highly detailed 3D product models and generate fully toleranced technical drawings for manufacture and assembly. Our comprehensive product design engineering service delivers intuitive user-centered design (UCD) with long-term appeal. Our clients benefit from extensive R&D, simulation, testing and mechanical engineering expertise.

What We Do

We provide engineering design service and integral electro-mechanical, supporting in-house skills with complex mechanisms, test fixture and jig design. Our designers support both complex and simple mechanisms, integrating mechanical and electronic solutions into functional prototypes and production intent systems. Aided by CAD, testing and analysis the aim is to engineer outstanding results as part of the product development process.

  • Reverse engineering, teardown and analysis
  • Mechanism development, analysis and testing
  • Finite Element Analysis FEA and mould flow
  • Develop and produce test rigs and jigs
  • Design optimisation through simulation and analysis
  • Engineering for DFM and DFMA
  • Proof-of-principle, stress and tolerance studies
  • Testing support and compliance with various standards

Product design engineering can be utilised to improve product quality, reduce time to market, lower costs and encourage innovation resulting in fully functional designs that stand out from their competition. By providing engineering and analysis we ensure product performance, safety, reliability and product design excellence.

  • Competitive advantage including patents generation
  • Cost efficiency and resource optimisation
  • Accelerated innovation though product engineering
  • Identify, minimise and negate risk
  • Improving product quality and engineering reliability
  • Faster time-to-market

“DesignEdge delivered a number of innovative concepts for both the mechanics and styling which allowed us to move the design forward with speed and confidence. The finished product not only looks impressive but it integrates innovative security features within a space saving form factor. I would have no hesitation in recommending DesignEdge’s development skills to any company needing to successfully bring products to market on time and within budget””

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.
