Talk Is Cheap, So Here’s How We Do It…
Research, Ergonomics, & Industrial Design
Humans are at the center of every successful product. We perform Voice of Customer activities including Usability Testing, Persona Development, and Experience Maps, to understand and optimize appeal to your target market. Using rapid prototyping methods, we can generate a product design that you and your customers will love.
Engineering & Prototyping
A medical product has to not only look good, it has to work. We are product development experts with extensive experience in medical device design and Lean Manufacturing. Our engineers average over 20 years experience. We have designed electromechanical handheld tools and disposables, to benchtop capital equipment, to initial set up and debug of Production lines. With our in-house machining and rapid prototyping capabilities, we can fast-track your builds. After all, you have to be able to make it.
We are an FDA and SAM-registered small business.
Verification & Validation
At Flying Pig Designs, we rely on a fast, flexible, fun, iterative approach to product development. We communicate, prototype, and test every step of the way, which means more creative product design solutions from us, and a better overall product for you. Our main goal is to get a high-quality, fully functional MVP as quickly as possible.
Manufacturing Transition
We are more than just product designers, engineers, and managers. Our team is skilled at executing product line setup, equipment validation, and manufacturing documentation to help transition the process smoothly. With our extensive network of highly-qualified and experienced vendors, if we can’t build it in-house, we know someone who can.
Project Management
Someone you trust will manage your project every step of the way. Our clients have a dedicated point of contact throughout the process who will provide weekly project status updates, track spending, and review open action items.
FPD has been instrumental to the progress and success of our company. The design creativity, engineering skills, and drive to complete critical tasks on time is why we consider FPD a key partner, an extension of our team.
Flying Pig Designs is one of those rare companies that just do what they promise on time and on budget. Their team is not only creative, but practical and energetic. I would recommend FPD over any other engineering firm I have worked with in the past!
FPD has been a trusted partner to us for several years due primarily to their consistency of execution but also due to their flexibility and adaptation to various pivots in our business and engineering objectives. They view our projects through the lens of our mission – our objectives are their objectives – and deliver.
