In this edition, we explore how Idea's end-to-end design and development process helps clients turn innovative ideas into real-world products.
By combining creative problem-solving with technical expertise such as 3D CAD advanced assembly modelling, robotic movement engineering, design for manufacture and for Assembly, we reduce development risk and improve product outcomes.
The result is smarter, more manufacturable product solutions that are market ready and built for success.

Our client, a pioneering solar company called SunScout is dedicated to eliminating fossil fuels and achieving maximum environmental sustainability across robotic systems, vehicles, and mobile machinery.
SunScout approached Idea to design and develop a new solar-powered robotic lawn mower for their product range.
Collaborating closely with the client’s suppliers and in-house manufacturing team, Idea's industrial design and engineering team followed a strategic New Product Development (NPD) program to deliver an innovative mower design.
Utilising Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) techniques, our engineering design team developed detailed 3D CAD assembly models, transforming concepts into engineered products with prototype development, ready for manufacturing and global distribution of finished products.
