1. Define the Product
Clarify function, dimensions, material, appearance, target market, quantity and target cost.
2. Manufacturing Feasibility
Determine likely production processes, tooling needs, realistic MOQ and missing engineering information.
3. Supplier Matching
Product-development suppliers need more than low prices; they need appropriate process capability and willingness to support sampling.
4. Preliminary Cost Structure
Development cost can include prototypes, tooling, molds, testing, sample shipping, packaging, unit cost and MOQ.
5. Prototype / Sample
Different products may use a 3D print, hand sample, functional prototype or production sample.
6. Modification
Expect revisions to structure, material, dimensions, finish, cost or packaging after initial samples.
7. Final Sample
Establish a clear production reference before bulk manufacturing.
8. Production
Move into production follow-up, quality control and shipment preparation.
9. Scope Boundary
Daro coordinates sourcing and manufacturing development. Specialized engineering and industrial-design work may require qualified external professionals.
