Services
Product Design
Synectic's product design services transform concepts into functional, market-ready solutions. Our engineers use 3D CAD modeling and collaborative brainstorming to create designs optimized for manufacturability. Clients receive multiple concepts, sketches, and detailed prototypes, ensuring alignment with user needs and regulatory requirements. With expertise in medical devices and consumer products, we prioritize usability, compliance, and scalability.
Prototype Development
Our prototype development services enable rapid testing of concepts through 3D printing, CNC machining, and urethane casting. We produce functional prototypes to validate design performance, reduce risks, and accelerate time-to-market. Specialized testing methods ensure designs meet specifications before transitioning to full-scale manufacturing.
Electronic Design
Synectic provides end-to-end electronic design services, including embedded systems, PCB design, and wearable device development. Our team ensures compliance with IEC 60601-1 standards for medical electronics, delivering reliable, user-friendly solutions. From hardware-software integration to wireless communication, we address complex technical challenges.
Quality and Regulatory Services
We specialize in FDA-focused quality systems and ISO 13485 compliance, supporting regulatory submissions for medical devices. Our services include risk management (FMEA), design controls, and documentation (DHF/DMR/DHR). Early integration of quality processes reduces costs and ensures compliance with global standards.
Design for Manufacturing
Our design for manufacturing services optimize products for cost-effective production. Engineers analyze components for fabrication methods, perform tolerance stack-up analyses, and redesign parts for assembly efficiency. This phase ensures manufacturability, reduces part count, and prepares detailed documentation for seamless production transitions.
