Industrial Design
Disrupt the Norm, Innovate the Future.
The essence of Industrial Design involves defining a device's form, features, and overall user experience. Almost everything you touch in your daily life, from your toothbrush to your car, has been influenced by an industrial designer.
We believe in transforming visionary ideas into tangible, impactful solutions that redefine what’s possible.
Accelerated New Product Development
New Product Development (NPD) engages the creative process of rapidly turning ideas into achievable products. Caztek’s structured approach includes stages from market research, ideation, and concept development to engineering, testing, product launch, and post-launch evaluation. We’re here to get customers to key milestones from Minimal Viable Products (MVPs) to full-scale production.
​
-
Comprehensive Planning: We ensure all product development, project milestones and launch stages are planned upfront. You’ll begin your next project with open eyes and a roadmap.
-
Market Research: Working with our clients, we analyze market and user research to gather critical insights, informing design decisions that align with consumer needs and market trends.
-
Rapid Execution: Utilizing agile methodologies and lean principles, we can quickly transition from conceptual designs to MVPs, reducing time-to-market and enhancing competitive advantage.
Voices of Innovation: What Our Clients Say
We’ve used Caztek’s services on an industrial product for taking an initial concept from prototyping through to production. It was a smaller project with some fairly significant physical constraints. Caztek was very helpful with finding creative solutions, selecting materials, designing the assembly, working with our injection molder and other suppliers, and documenting the results. They were very responsive to all of our questions, and did as much or as little as we requested. Based on our experiences, we will definitely be sending additional projects their direction.

I worked with the team at Caztek over a three-year period developing a medical device. The team is very creative and enjoyable to work with. With a wide knowledge base, we were able to bring in other team members, as needed, to address unique challenges. The onsite machining and prototyping capabilities, along with the shop area, gave us the ability to quickly build or modify concepts and test out the changes.
Mark Oreschnick,
Evolve Engineering
Caztek did an outstanding job for my company, Nuwellis, on one of very complex product development efforts. Caztek engineers acted with a high level of professionalism, provided creative solutions, and completed their efforts on time and within budget. It was truly a great collaboration between an OEM and a contract design house. I would not hesitate to use Caztek again on future projects.

Designing for Engagement with UI/UX Design
User Interface and User Experience Design (UI/UX) is critical for a product's tactile and functional user experience. Our designers focus on these aspects to ensure a positive user experience.
​
-
Interface Design: Developing engaging and functional interfaces is essential to facilitate intuitive interaction. From wireframes to graphic design, our team is here to help you through each step of the journey.
-
Voice of the Customer (VoC): By incorporating direct user feedback and data-driven insights, we can refine design elements, ensuring the final product meets or exceeds user expectations.
-
Human Factors Engineering (HFE): We apply ergonomic principles and usability standards to design comfortable, efficient, and safe products. The goal is to improve the human experience and minimize the risk of user error.
Fast-Track Design Validation with 3D Rendering and Animation
3D Rendering and Animation produce highly realistic images, making them powerful tools for visualizing and presenting complex designs. These techniques allow clients to see their designs before a prototype is fabricated. Caztek extensively utilizes SolidWorks rendering programs in our creation process.
​
-
Photo-Realistic Rendering: We create detailed, lifelike images that accurately present the final product, aid in design validation, provide a clear visual reference for engineers, and enhance stakeholder presentations.
Cost Efficiency: Our high-resolution renderings help visualize designs to identify potential issues and make necessary adjustments before moving to the prototyping phase, saving both development costs and time.
Identifying Pain Points with Usability Studies
Caztek utilizes Usability Studies to evaluate a product’s design. These studies provide valuable feedback from real users, helping us create smarter designs and more satisfying products. We facilitate studies to observe physical interactions between people and the engineering solutions we produce with clients, ensuring end-user success.
​
-
Research Collaboration: We work closely with clients to conduct qualitative research to gather target audiences' feedback on product design and functionality.
Physical Interaction: We observe and analyze how users interact with products in real-world scenarios, identifying pain points and areas for enhancement to improve overall usability.
End-User Focus: We prioritize the end-user experience in all design decisions, ensuring that the final product is intuitive, effective, safe, and delivers a high level of user satisfaction.
