Consumer Product Development
From concept to shelf — we design and build consumer products that look great, work reliably, and can be manufactured at the cost point your market demands.
Challenges in consumer product development
Cost vs. quality pressure
Consumer products must hit target retail price points while meeting quality standards that protect brand reputation. Balancing these competing pressures requires DFM expertise from day one.
Aesthetic and functional demands
Consumer products must satisfy both engineers and end users — functional performance and visual appeal must coexist in the same design.
Getting to market before the window closes
Consumer product opportunities are time-sensitive. Slow development cycles mean competitors get there first, or market conditions shift.
How RMA solves them
Cost engineering from the start
We design with your target unit cost in mind. Material selection, tolerances, and assembly methods are all evaluated against cost impact before any design is finalized.
Design that works and sells
Our designers and engineers work together on every project — form and function are treated as equally important requirements, not competing priorities.
Streamlined, single-vendor development
No time lost briefing multiple vendors. Design, prototyping, and manufacturing happen under one roof, keeping your project moving at the speed the market demands.
"Working with RMA was a game changer for Shifters Eyewear. As a startup founder, I needed a partner who could take my design sketches and turn them into a real, manufacturable product. Reid guided me through every phase with patience and precision."
