This includes full support for any required prototypes and testing.
Our team comprises highly skilled engineers with diverse and extensive experience. At ACO Technology Centre, we are dedicated to continuous improvement, striving to evolve into a One-Stop Shop by consistently upgrading and enhancing the technical expertise necessary to meet the growing demands of our industry.
Services
Our services in New Product Development Include:
- Concept(s) development
- We provide concept development by thoroughly analyzing product or customer requirements. When necessary, we apply Brainstorming/Pugh concept selection principles to ensure the most effective solutions are identified and refined.
- Concept(s)/Design Optimization
- Involves refining and enhancing initial product concepts to maximize their effectiveness, efficiency, and alignment with customer needs. This process typically includes evaluating design alternatives, optimizing features, and ensuring that the final concept is both technically feasible and commercially viable. The goal is to arrive at the most robust and practical solution before proceeding to detailed design and development stages.
- Detailed Design
- This involves creating detailed specifications, engineering drawings, and technical documentation that define every aspect of the product, including materials, dimensions, tolerances, and assembly instructions. The goal is to ensure that the product can be manufactured, assembled, and function as intended.
- Prototype Development
- At ACO Technology Centre, we have consistently supported our valued partners in their prototype development needs through active external engagement and diligent follow-up to ensure the highest standards of quality and timely delivery.
Concept(s) development
Our Concept Development process is focused on deeply understanding and analyzing customer requirements, leading to the creation of tailored and feasible concepts. Our team excels in guiding the concept selection process, employing tools such as the Pugh Matrix to rigorously evaluate options. When appropriate, we integrate the best elements into a hybrid concept that meets the specific needs of the project. To ensure clarity and ease of communication, we deliver concept models in a variety of accessible formats, including neutral format CAD files and high-quality rendered files.
Design optimization
At ACO Technology Centre, our team is frequently engaged in the optimization of products, with a focus on key elements such as cost, material weight, and performance. We employ advanced software tools to enhance and refine designs, ensuring the production of superior products.
Our approach to design optimization includes a thorough analysis of products to provide solutions that improve:
- Functionality
- Material selection
- Aesthetic
- Weight reduction, among other factors
Our goal is to deliver optimized designs that meet or exceed customer expectations while maintaining efficiency and quality.
Detailed Design
Upon finalization of concepts, the ACO Technology Centre team undertakes a comprehensive process to develop the selected designs. This includes:
- Conducting functional analysis of individual components and overall product performance.
- Evaluating design aspects related to the assembly and the functionality of assembled components.
- Designing each part to ensure manufacturability.
- Performing feasibility checks for assembly, including interference analysis and tolerance stack-up assessments.
- Utilizing available standard components from our standards library in the design process.
- Preparing detailed production drawings to guide manufacturing.
- Drafting final technical requirements and designs for customer review.
- Incorporating customer feedback to finalize the detailed design.
