Our Product Development Process
Product Strategy
Your project begins with a kick-off meeting where we offer product strategy consulting. Depending on your project needs, our team of engineers will conduct a comprehensive patent review, gather valuable customer feedback, and thoroughly analyze competitive products, all while keeping in mind the specific requirements of your project. Next, we will work with you to create a product development specification (PDS). This crucial document outlines the design and functionality of your product, serving as the foundation for its development.
Product Design
After the kick-off meeting, our team of experienced engineers will begin designing your product. Our product design services include product ideation and concept development. We start by brainstorming innovative concepts using our extensive product development knowledge. Then, our industrial designers will transform these abstract ideas into 2D drawings. Next, we assess the concepts based on their ability to meet PDS requirements, selecting the most suitable one. The chosen concept will be developed into detailed 3D CAD models, and depending on your project needs, we may create one or two breadboard prototypes to test the proof of concept. At the end of this phase, you will have a refined concept ready for prototyping.
Prototype Development
Our prototype development services involve using the 3D CAD models of your product created in the previous step to create physical parts. Through different prototyping techniques, such as 3D printing or urethane casting, we create tangible models of your ideas. The prototyping method used depends on factors such as part complexity, the cost of the materials, the environment it will be used in, and the desired finish. Once we assemble your prototype, our engineers test and troubleshoot it against the product development specification. We repeat this process several times until we produce a completely functional and reliable prototype that meets all the PDS requirements.
New Product Introduction
We take your design from prototype development to contract manufacturing with our new product introduction services. During this phase we refine your production process and scale up manufacturing, focusing on reducing costs and production times. New product introduction is divided into three parts: design for manufacturing (DFM/DFA), pilot manufacturing, and pilot production. During DFM/DFA, we optimize your design for manufacturability and assembly, ensuring precise tolerancing, final material selection, supplier sourcing, and costed BOM creation. Pilot Manufacturing focuses on documentation, testing, and validation through activities like building pre-production units, developing fixtures and tooling, creating quality plans, and verifying regulatory compliance. In Pilot Production, we validate and qualify your manufacturing process through Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and produce traceable, sellable units to confirm process stability.
Contract Manufacturing
After perfecting the design and manufacturing process, your product is ready for our contract manufacturing services at scale. The Mack Group uses various resources to turn prototypes into production parts. We offer flexibility in design with plastic injection molding and can cut metal parts to size using CNC machining or sheet metal fabrication. Additionally, we enhance the look of your product with finishing and painting services. We also provide inventory and supply chain management services to help bring your product to market. For small manufacturing lots, we use our Woodbridge facility, while larger lots are produced at one of our Mack Molding facilities. Our lean manufacturing model allows us to continuously refine the assembly process and identify cost-reduction opportunities at every step.

FAQs About Our Product Development Company
Product development is not an area where you should cut costs. Cutting corners here can lead to costly consequences, such as lawsuits or product recalls, if your product fails. The cost of development varies depending on factors like complexity, materials, and the stage of your project. We offer fixed-fee pricing in all of our proposals, so you’ll know exactly what your costs will be from the start. For a customized proposal, simply fill out our contact form, and one of our product development specialists will get in touch to discuss your project.
Yes, we can consult with you on your current project. Most of our clients approach us with early-stage prototypes that are not functioning as expected. We specialize in collaborating with their existing development teams to refine, improve, and quickly get these designs working. We have experience working with both large and small development teams, often under tight deadlines and budget constraints. Our advantage lies in our ability to act quickly, avoiding the red tape and redundancies often found in larger organizations.
Yes! Our company offers a range of services including contract manufacturing, assembly, and distribution of your product. For small volume manufacturing, we have on-site facilities available.
