The APTUS DesignWorks team is ready to take you from product idea to production reality.  Our experience in concept development, functional prototyping, and design for manufacturing can help you prove your product concept, create detailed documentation that defines and protects your product, and create an effective supply chain.  We have helped customers move their products forward in such diverse markets as consumer packaging, residential architectural products, internal combustion engines, and automotive driveline components.

 Low Volume doesn't mean Low Quality.

Many companies become buried under the "product maintenence" load of poorly engineered specialty products.  Soon the attractive profit margins disappear behind high overhead and a continuous customer service burden.  Eventually these niche products die off as the company is forced to redirect limited resources towards new markets.

There is an appropriate approach to the challenges of producing a low-volume product with stable quality and reliable supply.  The key is to engineer the specialty product using appropriate design principles so that it fits the supply chain plan.  Production processes and tools must support the reality of the planned product volume.

With wide-ranging experience in the design of low to medium-volume (10’s to 1000’s per year) niche products, we can help you move from the concept stage to inventory on the shelf.  You supply the idea, the sales know-how and the market knowledge, and we’ll get the well-designed product developed and tested...with production parts made correctly and ready to ship.
 

A better approach to new product development.

The process of inventing and bringing something new into the world, and developing it into a manufacturable product, can be an enjoyable one.  We will help design your product and optimize it into a manufacturable item, then help you set up a smooth and profitable supply stream so it is ready to sell.

We constantly strive to exceed our customer’s expectations of communication and service, and we will work smoothly with your team onsite at your facility or remotely.  Our consistent focus on excellent communication and a positive customer experience will be evident from the first conversation.  We are prepared to support a specific stage of your product development effort, or walk with you through the entire process from beginning to end.

Contact us to set up a phone consultation or onsite visit to learn how we can help make your product rollout as profitable as possible.
