We help leading consumer product companies develop innovative, production-ready products with our advanced design, engineering, and prototyping services.
Our firm takes your project from basic design to a manufacturing specification that will meet your product cost targets. We do this through our unique “team design” approach to design for manufacturability.
Common Product Development Challenges:
Pressure to create new products faster and at lower costs than before.
Need for high-quality prototypes that can be rigorously tested and quickly iterated.
Requirement for a sure hand-off from development to manufacturing - yielding a product that can be produced as specified.
What Creative Mechanisms Provides:
Company philosophy that relishes in-group diverse approaches and areas of expertise to develop innovative product solutions.
An intentional collaborative structure.
Breadth and depth of engineering and product development experience.
A relentless focus on manufacturing viability and cost-effective solutions for our clients.
You deserve the world-class expertise, innovation, speed, transparency, and product viability that our firm can provide!
What are your firm's most pressing product development needs?
Innovation and Creativity
Our team conceives original and sometimes unusual solutions and then implements those prototypes into successfully-developed products with marketable value. We always seek to efficiently develop high-quality products that impress consumers.
Faster Product Development
It is a fact that, when products are developed faster, they go to the market more quickly and can be purchased by consumers earlier - though, in many instances, product quality is sacrificed. Our prototyping, mechanical engineering and design expertise provides our clients with the benefits of both speed and product quality.
Engineering for Manufacturability
Creative Mechanisms is committed to solving product development issues by making products easier and more cost-effective to manufacture. When we finish our job, you should never hear that your factory cannot manufacture your product.
After thinking there was no way to develop and prototype living hinges, Creative Mechanisms were recommended to me. I quickly learned they offer a rare and sought after service, ideal for any early stage prototyping through to production level injection molding. They were hands down the best external contractor I can recall working with. From their highly effective "BaseCamp" communication tool to keep me updated on their entire design process, CAD files, images and videos, to their unparalleled turn around time, I cannot recommend Michael and his team highly enough. I found it extremely refreshing to consult with a company that exceeded all of my expectations and delivered impressively high quality prototypes in a very short time frame. From the moment I engaged them, Creative provided me with a very transparent and honest service; I had full visibility into the work that was agreed upon and what Michael and his team were working on. I will, without a doubt, be coming back to Creative Mechanisms for any future prototyping of this nature, and pushing for my colleagues to do the same!
Firms who work with us tell us that they are:
Less stressed about deadlines.
Comforted by our transparency throughout the development process.
More confident in better product solutions.
Pleased with development and manufacturing efficiency through our fast and effective product issue resolutions.
Assured of better hand-offs to their manufacturing teams.
