Concept development
From product idea to manufacturable laser work
Do you have a sketch, logo, or product idea, but no production drawing yet? We will technically elaborate it for laser cutting and then produce a first sample or the complete series.
From design concept to manufacturable product
A design on paper is not automatically suitable for laser cutting. Parts must fit, the material must be strong enough, and details must also turn out well in production.
We help with that. We translate your starting point into a production drawing, together determine the material and thickness, and work out connections, engravings, and mounting points. Where necessary, we first create a prototype. Once everything is approved, we produce the desired quantity.
Concept development is always part of a product that we then laser cut ourselves.
You don't need to have a production drawing yet
A sketch
Show what the product looks like, what it needs to do, and what dimensions are important. It doesn't have to be technically perfect yet.
A logo or brand mark
For a physical logo, we determine, among other things, its structure, size, material, and a suitable method of attachment.
Concept art or an example
A visual, photo, or existing product helps us understand the shape, appearance, and function you envision.
This is how we take your idea to production
We'll discuss your idea
What should the product do, how is it used, what are the key dimensions and how many units are involved?
We are working out the technical details
We translate it into components with appropriate connections, material and thickness, dimensions, engravings and, where necessary, break-off tabs or mounting points.
We test what matters
If the fit, size, construction, or use is still uncertain, we first create a prototype. This allows us to make adjustments before the entire series is produced.
We're making the agreed quantity
After approval, we cut and engrave the agreed-upon quantity. This can be a single product, a box full of parts, or a flat-pack construction kit.
This is what concept development looks like in practice
Dinosaur Model Kit for Naturalis
From concept art to a 3mm MDF building kit. We worked out the fit, numbering, engravings, and release tabs, after which the design was produced in large quantities and could be shipped flat.
Showroom Logos for Habufa
We translated various brand images into physical logo signs. The size, material, thickness, engraving, and mounting system were tailored to each design and then produced in series.
Then you probably don't need concept development
Do you already know exactly what you want to create and is the design in a vector file at actual size? Then you can usually proceed directly through the order portal.
If the file only needs to be exported correctly, please first consult our explanation for a suitable production file. Concept development is intended for products where the shape, fit, material, or construction still needs to be worked out.
From initial concept to a manufacturable product
Read how click, press, and finger joints work and why you should test the fit in your chosen material.
Frequently asked questions about concept development
Yes. Send us your best starting point and tell us what the product needs to do, its approximate size, and how many you expect to make. It doesn't have to be a production drawing yet.
Tell us what you want to create, what it will be used for, what sizes are important, and how many units you expect. Add your sketch, logo, concept art, photos, or existing drawing. The clearer the desired result, the more targeted our advice can be.
Concept development is part of products that we then laser cut ourselves. This allows us to directly align technical choices with our materials and production. If you only need help exporting an existing design, please check our file explanation.
Not always. A prototype is especially useful when the fit, size, construction or use still needs to be tested. If not, then after the technical elaboration, we can immediately produce the agreed number.
Our focus is on the development and production of laser-cut parts. Assembly kits, for example, can be supplied as a flat-pack. We only discuss alternative finishes or assemblies when they are suitable and feasible.
Show what you want to make
Include your sketch, logo, concept art, or initial drawing and tell us about the use, size, and quantity. Then we can assess what is needed to make the product feasible.
