Transform Ideas into Market-Ready Products with Industrial Design Services
Industrial design is relatively straightforward. It is about designing accessible, functional, manufacturable, and beautiful products. In theory, this may seem simple, but creating these types of products is far from easy. Consider the complexity of a typical product blueprint. Every change, no matter how small, directly affects the end product.
Gecco Vision’s industrial design services include thorough processes that ensure each measurement, procedure, and material choice is best for your product and the end-user. This is how we help customers choose your product over everyone else’s.
What Does It Take To Design A Product?
What Is Industrial Design?
Industrial design involves blending creativity, functionality, and practicality to shape the objects we use in our daily lives. The goal is to find innovative solutions that enhance a product's form and performance, making it more enjoyable, efficient, and user-friendly.
For the manufacturer, this means taking the time to ensure the product looks, feels and works precisely as they envisioned it. From sketching initial concepts to prototyping and refining, industrial designers can help turn ideas into tangible, market-ready products. After all, well-designed and engineered products ensure that every unit off the production line is impeccable, free of defects, and provides a compelling and easy-to-use customer experience.
Streamlining Product Development with Design for Manufacturing
How Does Industrial Design Differ From Other Design Principles?
Unlike other design principles, industrial design focuses on creating functional and aesthetically pleasing products for mass production. Designers carefully balance form and function, considering factors like ergonomics, materials, and the manufacturing process to ensure their design can be efficiently and economically produced on a larger scale.
This is in contrast to other principles, such as graphic design -- which focuses on visual communications -- or interior design, which concentrates on the arrangement of physical objects, their usability, and convenience. Similar design disciplines also tend to focus on artistic expression or conceptual ideas that may not work in a real-world setting.
Industrial design instead takes a pragmatic approach, combining a designer’s creativity with a deeper understanding of user needs, market trends, and technological feasibility.
The Workflow of Industrial Design Services
Our collaborative process starts as soon as we discuss your business objectives, timeline, product requirements, and other necessary facets of your project. This is normally done during the briefing phase. From this, a design brief is put together outlining the product specifications and helping us to keep accurate track of all design specifications throughout the project.
The Foundation of Product Design Through Research and Analysis
Industrial designers create a beautiful product that attracts customers with a compelling design behind it. Our team will research and compare existing and new technologies to determine the best components for your product while carefully considering costs, supply chains, manufacturability, and performance. In addition, we’ll work closely with you to define your target audience and discover opportunities to capitalize on gaps in the existing market based on the vision you have for your product.
Creating Initial Product Ideas
In this Ideation stage, our design and engineering team examines the individual parts and overall theme of the design to ensure the user experience, functionality, and appearance align with your product vision and business objectives. Though rough, the ideation phase is the best time to find the best draft solution for your product.
Perfecting The Refined Concept
Based on the initial sketches and earlier product research, the Design Detailing phase combines all the pieces into a single concept. This allows our designers and engineering team to reflect on the product as a whole and make any final edits or adjustments before proceeding to the next phase. Edits in this phase are relatively quick, so we make the most of them before getting into the heavy-lifting work of 3D modeling, engineering, and prototyping the final product.
Bringing Designs to Life Through Prototyping
This phase gives you the opportunity to learn how the product looks and functions in the real world. Prototyping also allows us to refine and perfect the final design even further to minimize manufacturing costs and risks before going into full production. Gecco Vision's process ensures that products are ready for user testing, investment pitches, and all stages in between.

Transitioning Designs Into 3D Models
During this part of the process, we take the concept and use the industry’s best 3D-modeling CAD software to create the initial conceptual design of your product. The purpose of this modeling is to ensure that the design is feasible and functional from a visual perspective. This step also makes the design and engineering process much smoother and helps transition into the manufacturing phase of product development.
