California Design + Efficient Manufacturing Coordination
IDP’s integrated approach allows our clients to enjoy the benefits of Highly Creative California Design and Engineering science coupled with low cost China and US Manufacturing.
Our product development team members are not only highly innovative creators, but are practical and cost driven as well. IDP follows a DFM (Design for Manufacturing) philosophy. Tooling and unit cost investment along with manufacturing methodologies and efficiency are driving development factors from the beginning.
IDP has had a manufacturing coordination office in China for 20 years. Our bilingual China staff includes project management, manufacturing engineers, and quality assurance. We have an extensive network of factory relationships across multiple industries. We provide clients convenience and peace of mind by ensuring production through a reputable factory, with oversight from our Q&A and project management team.
Some of our clients prefer US manufacturing, and we have a network of domestic factories that can assist you.
From Idea to Market
Whether you are starting with an invention idea or refining an existing product idea, IDP can guide you through the entire invention process. From the earliest stage of the inventing to the creation of invention prototypes, our team provides expert product design services to help you shape your vision into reality. We transform your concepts into a prototype—starting with concept design, 3D modeling, and proof of concept models that reflect real-world applications. To protect your innovation, we can connect you with a patent attorney for both provisional patent applications and full filings, safeguarding your intellectual property. Along the way, we conduct market research to verify demand, benchmark against existing product designs, and provide guidance on pursuing licensing deals or preparing for manufacturing and marketing. Our goal is to help you develop successful products and bring products to market efficiently—whether you choose to license your product elsewhere, or handle manufacturing in-house. With our expertise in product development, we help you navigate each step toward your final product, offering support for both short-term launches and long-term growth. We can even assist if you decide to license your invention, guiding you through rapid prototyping, protecting patents and trademarks, improving existing products, and turning your great idea into a successful product to market with strong engineering design, ensuring your innovation reaches the market with maximum impact.
As a trusted design firm and prototyping company, IDP combines creativity, engineering precision, and industry knowledge to deliver solutions tailored to your needs. From refining early concepts to preparing product designs for full-scale production, we offer end-to-end prototype development services that bridge the gap between innovation and market-ready products.
