end-to-end ELECTRONIC PRODUCT DESIGN solutions
At GR8design we are focused on consulting, designing, developing and manufacturing customised electronic and electro-mechanical products.
We offer a concept to delivery approach with proof of concepts, or working prototypes built from existing specifications, or created from the ground up.
VISUALISATION
3D
Using the latest Autodesk Inventor Software, your concept is turned into a tangible product using CAD modelling. This can involve a number of ilterations dependant on your requirements.
CAD Rendering
CAD rendering is a method where we create photorealistic images of the concept. This is a cost effective way of understanding the benefits of your idea before committing to the costly stages of prototyping and manufacture.
CAD Prototype
The internal structure of the concept as well as the external is considered at this stage. Additive and Subtractive methods of manufacturing are used to produce fully functional working prototypes.



idea
As well as dealing with large companies, many of our clients are small businesses or individuals who have an idea for a product or design but don’t know where to start to get it designed or produced. This is where we can help.
Being a small company we are able to move quickly and accommodate the needs of our clients, giving you shorter lead times and quicker development cycles, enabling you to take your product to market much quicker.
Quicker time-to-market
Designing for manufacture
By thinking “out of the box” we can assist by eliminating costly prototype re-spins, ensure trouble free production of your product, and get you to market as quickly and efficiently as possible.

FIRMWARE
DESIGN
Firmware exists on most devices from everyday consumer appliances (toasters, kettles, TV’s) to custom electronics products. It is a specific type of software which is written into the memory of an electronic device.
We offer a custom embedded firmware service which allows us to tweak your existing firmware or start from the ground up using an array of microprocessors.
