WHAT WE DO
We guide growing tech companies and outdoor brands through product development and design-for-manufacturing for greater company profitability. We collaborate with your team to complement your area of expertise in fields that range from outdoor recreation to wearable electronics and home appliances. Bright Product Development specializes in translating your technology and your market requirements into actual consumer products. We engineer the mechanical systems and we design each individual piece for specific manufacturing processes while simultaneously optimizing for production and performance. We solve engineering resource problems and our clients call us “responsive,” “quick,” and “client-focused.” We know high-volume manufacturing from design and drawings to vendor selection, and we know how long and how much it takes to do it.
WHERE WE WORK
We are in Austin, Texas, and we work with companies around the world. Starting 2024, we are in San Antonio once a week at the historic downtown Rand Building. Send a note to design@brightpd.com to inquire about possible projects, have an introductory discussion about manufacturing, or to set up an appointment.
“Working GREAT! Going to pilot production now... Thanks for all your help.”

How long does it take?I’ve written a whole chapter on this: Product Development Steps and Timeline The simplest project could be a few weeks of design and engineering and a few weeks for prototyping and testing. In reality, it usually takes way longer. We can discuss what it will take for your project.

How much does it cost?This is hard to answer; what exactly are you doing? The simplest project could be a few thousand dollars, but consumer product development usually tallies up to more than that. Let’s talk, and we can give you off-the-cuff ballparks before going to a detailed quote. You can see some sample project costs here: $39 Mustache Comb-CH13
