Product Development
Product development is the process by which an idea is transformed into a functional and commercially viable product. At Get3D, we provide comprehensive product development services aimed primarily at professionals, startups and industries that wish to move from the idea stage to manufacturing and ultimately production. At the same time, we support individual designers and creators who are looking for a reliable partner to realize their ideas.
What is Product Development?
Product development combines design, engineering, research and manufacturing to create innovative solutions. It involves every step, from the initial idea to the construction of the first physical prototype and preparation for production. A successful product depends not only on its aesthetics or function, but also on how effectively it is designed for production, use and commercialization.
Our approach at Get3D
Our process aims to deliver efficient, fast and technically sound product development. We understand the market requirements and work in collaboration with the customer to ensure that each new product is functional, aesthetically pleasing and constructionally feasible.
We approach each project in distinct stages:
- Preparation for small or large scale production
- Gathering requirements and understanding the product goal
- Industrial and functional design
- Selection of materials and construction methods
- Prototyping
- Testing and optimizations
From idea to prototype
By using technologies such as 3D design, simulation and rapid prototyping (rapid prototyping), we can turn an initial idea into a tangible model in a matter of days. The methods we use include FDM, SLA, SLS 3D printing, CNC machining, and even mold making for resin or silicone casting. You can see more about the printing technologies we offer here:
Where is product development applied?
Product development is essential in many sectors of industry, such as:
Consumer products and appliances
Medical equipment and aids
Tools and mechanical components
Frames, lighting and architectural elements
Electronic housings and caps
Plastic parts for injection molding
Design tools and methodology
We base our design on powerful CAD (Computer Aided Design) tools for precise modeling. Particular emphasis is placed on ergonomics, mechanical assembly and material strength, depending on the requirements of each project. Depending on the type of product and its application, we adapt the choice of materials, tolerances and surface treatments to ensure final quality.
We have experience in projects involving startups, architects, engineers and industries.
We provide rapid prototyping and feedback capabilities.
We support both the production of unique pieces and the development for mass production.
We ensure the confidentiality of every project with an NDA.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does it cost to develop a product?
The cost depends on the complexity of the design, the materials and the number of prototypes required. We provide customized quotes for each project.
How long does it take to see the first prototype?
Usually from 3 to 10 working days, depending on the type of product and production method.
What if I don't have a design or technical background yet?
We also undertake projects from scratch, starting from the description of the idea to the full development and execution of the project.
What are the key stages in product development?
Product development begins with the idea and the perception of the need, followed by design and prototyping, continues with testing and improvements, and ends with production and commercialization. Each stage requires the collaboration of many specialists and proper planning.
How does 3D printing help in product development?
3D printing speeds up the prototyping process, allowing for rapid design evaluation and improvement before final production, thereby reducing development costs and time.
What role does product design play in product success?
Good design is critical to functionality, aesthetics, and the production process. A product that is designed properly is easier to manufacture, more durable, and more appealing to the customer.
How long does it take to develop a new product?
The development time depends on the complexity of the product, the industry, and the resources available to the company. It can take anywhere from a few days to months.
