Product Development
Developing your own product is a big endeavour. That’s why our team of composite experts can support you with the complete process from detailed design to manufacture and more.
Our capabilities
Decades of composite experience supports the product development process by inspiring innovative designs whilst ensuring solutions are practical to make bringing your idea to life, realistic.
How does product development work?
You drive the product vision; we sign the NDAs to keep it top secret but, in the background, bring it to life in detailed design. We have the software and skills to make the product development and production process seamless, safe and enjoyable.
Why is skilled development key?
To avoid costly production changes, your product idea must be robust. That’s why we only manufacture composite products or parts that have been detailed designed to support you to manufacture your product in a practical way.
The Process
At Composite Products we offer a complete service from product design, through to tooling and manufacture. Here are the main process stages and we’re happy to support you at one stage or several.
