From Concept to Product

Concept

Working with you to develop your product from orginal concepts.

Design

From concepts come product design, working together for the perfect design.

Build

Once product design is complete...
a product is born.

Design and

Development.

Our focus at Fringe is to work with our customers to build a long term partnership and our R&D team provide a design and development service from initial concept and design to product development, improvements and reverse engineering.
Prototyping is a big part of introducing any new product and something we are highly experienced in. We can offer small production runs for new products or as samples for you to critically review prior to placing orders.
Key areas of design expertise include:

• LED products – Linear, circular and bespoke light engines for the lighting industry.
• Analog – Switch mode power supplies, signal conditioning and sensing.
• Digital – Hardware and software, microprocessors – 8-32 bits.
• Mechanical design – Using solid-works for extrusions, enclosures, plastics etc.
  

Is your product destined for an enclosure? Our 3D printer is the ideal solution to create a prototype for your product. 3D printing is rapidly being introduced and cuts down lead times and costs prior to going into full tooling and production.

Design for

Manufacture (DFM).

If you are in the process of introducing a new product to the market, as well as the product working as expected, it may be important to ensure that it can be manufactured on a larger scale. Here at Fringe we can assist you with advice on your designs to enable the product to be manufactured in the most efficient way when in mass volume.
 
The main reasons behind DFM is to ensure Quality and Cost objectives are met in advance to full scale production. This investment early in the design process is invaluable when it comes to delivery promises to customers. A well designed product which can be built correctly first time, every time will ensure a smooth flow of product reaching their final destination.

Approvals.

The final piece of the design jigsaw puzzle is approvals. Many products will require some form of approval such as CE, EMC or LVD.
 
If you have a design that requires any of the above approvals, our in-house design team are able offer advice and guidance to help you reduce overall costs and timescales prior to sending out for final CE approval. We will carry out the necessary tests and create the files and relevant documents to enable you gain CE approval.
