INVENTORS & ENTREPRENEURS
PATENT - DRAWINGS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

We are now offering a new service working with inventors and entrepreneurs who are in the initial patent and or manufacturing - quotation development process.   
The purpose of these services is to get your product invention concept "idea" on to paper in a clear and concise, feasible manufacturing line drawing format to support visualizing and communicating the overall invention or product concept. 

Inventor Meetings by Consulting Agreement only.
We offer an hourly personal consulting meeting or teleconference to discuss, review and make recommendations on the potential of inventions, product or machine concepts and the relative production development issues.  The cost is $250/hr per Senior Industrial Designer or Engineer (2 hour minimum $500).  Additional MS masters and PhD doctorate level engineers are available upon request

Engineering (ME/EE) Technical Assessment: delivers written document as to the electrical – mechanical engineering – lighting technology, outlining production development issues and basic development cost estimates. Call for an estimate
 (no drawings)

Feasibility Study: delivers basic design, thumbnail sketches and design for mass materials and processes, production review and development costing information -  with recommendations for a development strategy.
Estimated Small Feasibility Review  $ 3,000.00 - $ 5,000.00
Full Feasibility Study $5,000.00 - $10,000.00

Product Invention - Drawing Service:   This service includes a personal meeting or telephone consultation to review your information.   Based on the information provided,  the objective is to develop and deliver a 1- 2 page Descriptive "Brief  Drawing" with basic dimensions, suggested materials and  manufacturing processes and descriptive, bullet statement, call-outs.   The drawings will be delivered in hard copy, fax and/or computer photo .jpg or .tif formats and may be used for business planning, preliminary patent searches and/or review with potential manufacturers.  *  Note: Final quoted costs depend on the invention design and drawing complexity.

1 page - line drawing sketch  Typically consists of a scaled front, top and side view with basic descriptions  with a 3/4 perspective view including 5-10 call-out descriptions, all assembled onto a 11x17 or reduced 8-1/2 inch drawing

Entrepreneurs can use these basic drawings to quickly communicate their ideas and Email or Fax to business associates, designers, molders and manufacturers.  

Industrial Designers can use them  to evaluate system level human factors, user interface design and engineering requirements along with estimating prototyping costs.  

Manufacturers and Molders can use the drawings to support initial  materials, manufacturing, tooling and molding quotations for mass production.  

Some programs require research and development phases and/or functional or proof of concept models prior to mass production development.  Full scale product design & development programs including Industrial Design, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering services are typically the next step. 

Taking your ideas, patent and models from paper to prototype to a fully manufacturable product is what we deliver.   Reducing your manufactured cost and time to market is why you invest in industrial designers. The closer you get to realistically visualizing your invention or product in production the better your chances of success.

NOTE: These preliminary design or development services include limited industrial design services, but does not include mechanical or electrical engineering level or CAD drawing, design services.    Additional services, pages and or costs may be necessary to thoroughly develop and communicate your ideas.  Upon initiation of the service WD will determine if additional services are necessary to do the job.   We are not a manufacturer, molder, marketer, or invention promotion company.  All services will be quoted prior to delivery.
