Project Scope

Together with you, we clearly define the project scope. We’ll define functionality, design, and outline parameters. Having a clearly defined project scope in the early stages, saves time and money further along in the project.

In most cases, defining the project scope is included as a service to our customers. Depending on how large or complex your project is, and whether you need other specialized services, we may charge a project consulting fee.

Conceptual Design

We help make your product dreams into realistic 3D model renderings. Whether you only have hand-drawn sketches, or already have 2D or 3D drawings, our designers can help improve on your design. Our engineers and mold designers will also give input on design for manufacturability. This helps to make sure your manufacturing goes smoothly and saves tooling costs. If you have in-house designers, we can also co-design to combine the best of both worlds.

3D Industrial Design

We knock out the external and internal structure & design with molding in mind. Shape Point has in-house industrial designers you can use or we can work together with your engineers and designers to collaborate on design.

Mechanical & Electrical Design

We take your industrial design and make 3D models with information needed for creating tooling molds. Our mechanical engineers work closely with our mold designers and assembly line to make sure production goes smoothly.

We also often begin developing firmware, prototyping PCB boards, and begin programming designing mobile apps during this process.

Prototyping

ShapePoint can help you rapidly prototype practically any part or product you need made. CNC machining, carbon fiber prototyping, rapid injection molding, 3D printing are just some of our prototyping specialties.

Tooling & Molding

With Design for Manufacturing (DFM) in China in mind, we design and tool your molds with high precision. Our engineers generally think of what could possibly go wrong, before opening the tool. This extra step before cutting steel, helps to eliminate headaches later down the line during production.

Product Testing

Thoroughly testing your product before going into mass production can prove crucial when it comes to ensuring your product launches without a hitch. Treating testing lightly can result in costly product recalls and loss of customer confidence and loyalty towards your brand.

Quality Certifications

ShapePoint can help you get the required certifications needed for each market you’re exporting to. We can work together with your testing agencies or we can use our own. We can help with UL, FCC, CE, ROHS, and TUV.

Mass Production & QC

After your prototype has been approved, tested and certified, we go into full production. This is what we’ve all been waiting for! While everything has been confirmed and verified at this point, QC plays a very crucial during this step, especially in China. On the ground Shape Point inspectors will help oversee production, or, we work together with your QC inspectors to make sure your product launch goes without a hitch. Then we can either fully inspect or inspect a certain percentage of final production units before they ship.
