Great textile products start with design decisions that respect both performance needs and manufacturing realities. Our product design consulting brings materials engineering into the design process early.
We help designers and engineers choose structures, materials and construction methods that deliver function, comfort and durability.
Common problems we're called in to solve
- Designs look good but fail performance testing.
- Products are difficult or expensive to manufacture.
- Design teams lack materials engineering input.
- Iterations take too long.
Our approach
- 1Join design reviews from the concept stage.
- 2Recommend materials and constructions for each function.
- 3Assess manufacturability and cost.
- 4Plan prototype testing and iteration.
Outcomes and benefits
- Designs that pass testing the first time.
- Lower manufacturing cost.
- Shorter development cycles.
Serving Pleasant Hill and the Bay Area
