Medical product development is pure Industrial Design about solving human factors problems on many levels. From pencil thumbnail sketches to 3D CAD color renderings the design process is about visualizing the possible solutions or design to meet the physical requirements. Industrial design embraces semantics and keep it simple with the use of figure ground presentations, 3D CAD, product engineering and rapid prototyping. The 3D CAD – shop drawings with all the dimensions needed is the key to working from paper to fully assembled prototype. The team has invested in a rapid printed prototype shop to complement the full prototype shop. New materials and production technologies are used to meet the product materials and performance demands. Our Designers look for the highest quality possible with sincere commitment to performance and human factors friendly solutions that compliments the environment. WhiteLight Design uses industrial design and product design engineering to create efficient and elegant product design and manufacturing solutions. From plastic to metal to aluminum to titanium, metal to plastic conversion our engineers work to model up the invention from the patent. If you and company are looking for product design give the shop a ring.
