FAQ
Q1
What kind of design can you request?
A1
Product design is the main design work. We provide consistent product design development support such as product planning, styling design, CAD data design, 3D printer data design, and simple mockup creation. Of course, please contact us as we can handle design work alone.
Q2
I want to consult, what should I do?
A2
Please feel free to contact us by e-mail etc. After that, I would like to meet as much as possible to hear and share basic matters such as customer characteristics and business policies. At that time, I will explain how to work here.
(No charge for initial consultation, please feel free to contact us)
Q3
Please tell us about the work flow of the design?
A3
Basically, work is done with the following workflow.
1. [Hearing]
We ask about contents, conditions, and hopes.
2. [Survey analysis]
We will conduct market research on competing products and investigate the current situation.
3. [Basic proposal]
We will create a few rough draft presentation materials and decide the direction of the design.
4. [Final proposal]
The design proposal selected from the basic proposal will be reviewed again, and a final proposal will be made with a more detailed design design, rendering CG, and in some cases a simple mockup.
5. [Follow]
After the final proposal, we will respond to your request.
Q4
When is the official request timing?
A4
We will create a simple design proposal based on the initial consultation [Hearing]. There will be no costs at this stage. Please consider whether there is a contract based on the proposal. After that, if a contract is made, we will proceed with the design work by carrying out the detailed work after [Survey Analysis].
Q5
How much does the design cost?
A5
In product design, it is very difficult to set a certain amount of money because various conditions such as product function, required shape and manufacturing method are different. In the stage before the contract, we will provide an estimate that combines the creation costs + work costs + expenses. As a guideline, the minimum design fee for product design is JPY100,000.00 or more, but you can also consult us for your budget.
