Industrial Design Services for Electronic Products
A concept can win the design review and then fall apart at prototyping. The board doesn't fit, the hot spot sits right under the logo, and the mold quote doubles. Fixing that costs months, usually because design and engineering sat in two different companies.
Our industrial designers sketch around your real PCB, battery and display, and our mechanical and production engineers check every concept before you see it. You get a ready concept in about 2 weeks, and it moves straight into enclosure & mechanical design with the same team.
Products We’ve Designed
Why Product Teams Pick Promwad for Industrial Design
Designed around the board
We start from your PCB outline, battery and screen dimensions, then sketch.
Buildable from the first sketch
Our designers and production engineers review every concept for tooling, assembly, and cost.
One team behind the housing
Hardware, FPGA and embedded software engineers work in the same company.
Production-ready handover
And the IP is yours. You get design documents, functional samples and production support.

How We Take a Product From Sketch to Production
Every project starts with a short requirements call: spec, target cost, volume, production site and standards. Then 6 steps, each ending with something you can review.
Concept & 3D modelling
We sketch 2D concepts around your real PCB, battery and screen, test grip with foam mock-ups, then build the chosen one in SolidWorks or Creo.
Rendering & CMF
Photorealistic renders show color, material and finish before you pay for a single prototype. Approved colors go into the docs as RAL or Pantone codes.
Mechanical design
Our engineers handle the enclosure and mechanical design: wall thickness, draft angles, sealing and cooling for injection molding, sheet metal or extrusion.
Material selection
Plastics, metals, glass or ceramics, picked for your environment, volume and budget. See how we approach enclosure materials, recycled grades included.
PCB and enclosure prototypes, 3D-printed or milled, to check assembly, look and feel and lock in the final materials before tooling.
Mass production launch
We pick a factory in Europe or Asia, or prepare everything for your own line, then launch enclosure mass production and support the first run.

Redesign of a Product That’s Already on the Market
Plenty of our projects start with a product that works but costs too much to build or fails in the field.
We audit the current enclosure, list the cost, assembly and reliability problems, then redesign around your current board or a new one. You get updated drawings and a tooling plan that reuses whatever can be reused.
Typical reasons clients call us:
For a European intercom maker, we reworked the mechanical design with one goal: lower manufacturing cost.
Industrial Design Case Studies
Service Robot Platform on Qualcomm RB3 Gen 2
Task: a demo robot for tech events had to be compact and quick to assemble, with no budget for tooling.
What we did: an aluminum profile frame with laser-cut and 3D-printed parts. The base holds the lidar, cameras, microphone, batteries, fans and both dev kits.
Result: a kit clients adapt for hospitality, warehouse and healthcare robots, assembled without special tools.
Bluetooth Gateway for Parrot Flower Power
Task: Parrot (France) needed a compact gateway that collects data from Flower Power plant sensors over Bluetooth and sends it to the cloud.
What we did: hardware on a TI Sitara Cortex-A8, Linux software, prototypes and a thin enclosure. The Wi-Fi antenna sits on the PCB, so there’s no external antenna to pay for in mass production.
Result: the gateway survives a 1 m drop onto concrete. It passed pre-certification for impact, 0 to +40 °C operation, safety (EN 60950) and EMC (EN 55022), and draws about 1 W.
Industrial Network Switch for Dewesoft
Task: 16 × 2.5GbE and 2 × 10GbE ports in a rugged DAQ unit that runs from −20 °C to +60 °C.
What we did: thermal modelling of the whole enclosure, 3 intake and 3 exhaust fans on one PWM control loop, shock design to EN 60068-2-27 and MIL-STD-810D.
Result: the switch joined Dewesoft's product line, and the project grew into a dedicated team that now works inside their release cycle.
How We Keep Quality Under Control
Every project passes quality gates. You sign off each one, so nothing reaches tooling on assumptions.
- G0 Requirements: spec, target cost, volume, production site and standards agreed.
- G1 Concept: sketches, renders and CMF direction chosen.
- G2 Design freeze: 3D CAD passes DFM review and tolerance stack-up.
- G3 Prototype validation: fit, assembly and ergonomics checked on real samples. IP, drop and environmental tests run at our partner labs when the spec calls for them.
- G4 Production release: drawings, BOM and tooling approved; first parts checked against the golden sample.
Where heat is the risk, we run thermal analysis before the first sample.
What you receive (the IP is yours)
- native SolidWorks or Creo files, plus STEP
- 2D drawings (PDF and DWG) with tolerances
- renders and a CMF spec with RAL or Pantone codes
- BOM and material spec
- DFM report and assembly instructions
- partner-lab test reports
We work under ISO 9001 and sign an NDA before you share a single file.
Trusted by Product Companies and OEMs
"Our goal is to deliver the X-ray prototype to the government on time, and we've been able to do that. Their main strength is that they offer all the skills we need, such as mechanical design, firmware and software development, PCB layout, and schematic generation"
"Even in the cases when the requirements are not fully defined, they are able to suggest a solution and discuss it to come to the final solution quickly"
