Design & Development

We are an FDA-registered manufacturer with 60+ years of manufacturing experience across a range of demanding markets. Our highly skilled, in-house technical team works closely with you from start to finish.

• Design for manufacturing (DFM) principles applied at all phase gate stages of product design, development, and pilot manufacturing processes
• Material selection and polymer science expertise and approved suppliers near global manufacturing locations to facilitate on-time delivery
• Concept development and idea generation services
• Supply chain and vendor management
• Quick-turn prototyping and Component Webstore to accelerate design and development timelines

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) activities align engineering and production in the initial design phase, ensuring cost and time efficiencies, quality, and meeting customer expectations. At Spectrum, we are recognized by our customers for our strong up-front engineering support and DFM programs to prove design reliability and consistency. Having the ability to control risk probability for the end-product, provides confidence from development all the way to production.

DFM & Phase Gate Process:

• Concept feasibility and market assessment
• Design requirements/inputs
• Design drawings/models
• Tool/mold design, making, and prototyping
• Design verification and validation
• Production readiness
• Commercial transfer
• Postmarket launch & customer support

With decades of experience in injection molding and plastic design, our tooling and machining capabilities feature extensive, advanced wire EDM and CNC technology, coupled with a highly trained technical workforce.

• 3D solid modeling, manufacturing, and design software
• Detailed DFM activities with internal stakeholders, customers, and material suppliers
• High-volume Class 101, multicavity production molds with robotic assist
• Tool development ranges for prototype to bridge tooling in standard platforms to minimize cost
• On-site, same-day testing and revision of production molds
• Project management resources to manage requirements to customer timelines
• Complete confidentiality on projects to protect proprietary information and processes

Launch Pad is a focused brainstorming session, providing participants with a collaborative experience with our team of technical experts. Within the parameters you and your team set, the goal of Launch Pad is to generate applicable concepts by drawing on our vast knowledge base.
