As Print My Part continues to enjoy rapid growth, the vast majority of my time is now devoted to Product Design work. My unique skill set and in-depth understanding of mass production processes coupled with in-house prototyping facilities offers clients a comprehensive product development process and a clear route from concept to production . We are small enough to offer an unparalleled level of service and personal attention. By taking on a limited number of clients at any one time we can ensure we can fully immerse myself in your project, considering every aspect of the design whilst remaining personable and communicating in simple terms. This approach results in a fast paced product development process so projects are delivered on time and on budget. ​We are highly proficient in CAD packages such as Solidworks and we have substantial knowledge of designing parts for mass production, in particular Injection Moulding. Furthermore, through my industrial experience we have gained valuable contacts with factories in the UK and Far-East. We can therefore establish and manage Far-East mass production opportunities. We also have experience bringing products to market through tradition B2B and B2C routes as well as through crowdfunding campaigns such as Kickstarter™. This unique skill set enables us to design products which are much more than 'just a visual'. We are able to design fully functional products with commercial viability and real world application in mind.
