We have enjoyed working with them and many of their designs working with us have ended up top sellers for us. I would highly recommend their services.

Two men stand close together, smiling at the camera. The man on the left wears glasses and a black polo shirt, while the man on the right wears a gray zip-up jacket. One has his arm around the other.

A very talented Product Designer that knows the manufacturing process inside and out.

What We Do

Complete Product Development - Design Through Manufacturing Documentation

We take products from concept through manufacturing-ready files. Industrial design handles aesthetics and user experience.

Two computer monitors display 3D design software, one showing a building model with colored sections, the other a detailed image of a smartphone. A small potted plant sits on the desk below the screens.

Industrial Design

Form, aesthetics, and user experience that make your product appealing to buyers.

  • Concept development with multiple design directions
  • 3D modeling and photorealistic rendering
  • Ergonomic analysis and material selection
  • Brand alignment and design language

Engineering Development

Mechanical design, material specifications, and structural validation that make your product buildable.

  • Complete CAD development of all components
  • Tolerance analysis and fit validation
  • Material selection based on strength and cost requirements
  • Design for manufacturing and assembly optimization

Manufacturing Documentation

Technical packages manufacturers need to quote tooling accurately and build consistently.

  • Technical drawings with GD&T callouts
  • Bill of materials with specifications
  • Assembly instructions and process guidelines
  • Tolerance requirements for critical dimensions

Why Choose DesignBranch for Industrial Design and Engineering

Nearly 20 Years Developing Products for Mass Production

We’ve guided products through tooling, production launch, and manufacturing scale-up. That experience shows up in the designs we create – they’re attractive and buildable at reasonable costs. You don’t waste money on beautiful designs that cost too much to tool or engineering that kills your product’s appeal.

One Team for Both Disciplines

No handoffs between design and engineering firms. No information lost. No finger-pointing when problems emerge. We protect design intent while solving manufacturing challenges.

Transparent Pricing

Complete projects typically range from $15,000 to $37,000 depending on product complexity and component count. You’ll get a fixed price after we understand your specific product – no hourly billing that grows when problems take longer to solve.

We Test Before You Commit to Tooling

Prototypes validate form and function before you spend money on production tooling. Mechanisms get tested. Material strength gets confirmed. Problems get fixed while they’re still cheap to solve.

Our Process

From Concept to Manufacturing-Ready Files
1.
Project Discovery

We discuss your product idea, target market, competitive landscape, and technical challenges. What problem does this solve? Who’s buying it? What’s your target retail price?

2.
Concept Development

We create multiple design directions showing different aesthetic approaches and technical solutions. You see sketches, renderings, and rough models. We discuss manufacturing implications and cost targets for each direction.

3.
Design Refinement and Engineering

We develop your selected concept into detailed CAD models with complete mechanical engineering. You review iterations as we refine proportions, details, and technical solutions. We validate fits, test mechanisms, and confirm manufacturing approaches.

4.
Prototype Development

We build working prototypes to test form, fit, and function. You evaluate aesthetics and ergonomics. We test mechanisms, validate material choices, and identify engineering issues before tooling. Problems get fixed now instead of after you’ve paid for molds.

5.
Manufacturing Documentation

We create complete technical packages manufacturers use to quote tooling and produce your product. You receive CAD files, technical drawings, material specifications, and assembly instructions.
