Please make an approximate guess about the complexity of your product
Thanks for your choice!
a key fob is a relatively simple product that consists of maximum 2-3 custom parts.
Products with similar complexity are light switches, combs, toothbrushes.
Thanks for your choice!
a toaster consists of roughly 10 custom parts.
Products with similar complexity are helmets, desk lamps & coffee machines
Thanks for your choice!
a medical device consists of roughly 15-30 custom parts.
Products with similar complexity are office chairs, forklifts & barbecues.
Thanks for your choice!
a motorbike consists of various assemblies with more than 100 custom parts.
Products with similar complexity are industrial machines.
Thanks for your choice!
space shuttles are quite complex products that consist of numerous assemblies and thousands of parts. Probably we should talk directly about your project, but for the sake of the rough estimate, let's continue :-)
Does that description fit to your product?
What is the input data, that you can provide?
Ok. We'll be happy to define (or design!) the product together with you based on your idea. Of course that process is hard to guess in terms of timing and cost. We try to do it anyway...
Sketches are a good starting point!
We will need design sketches with orthographic views of the product.
Great! An existing physical model of your product helps to understand its complexity. We will ask you to provide us the model while we're working on the project.
Excellent! A digital model of your product is the best asset to speed up the duration of our modeling work. We're familiar with any commonly used 3D file format on the market.
Is that definition correct?
What is the intended output quality?
3D models made for render quality can be modelled much faster than models for production purposes. Please note that the rendering itself is not part of this calculation (though we'll happily provide rendering services).
3D models made for prototyping don't need to have the same precision that is needed for production quality and therefore the creation can be cheaper and faster. Depending on your further roadmap it might be a good idea to already target for production quality. We'll discuss that in further project steps.
Great! 3D models for production quality need to comply with industry standards of manufacturers (mold makers, etc.). We will create deliverables in native file formats to keep compatibility and editing ability, that allows the supplier to optimise the parts for the specific manufacturing process.
Does that definition of the output quality match with your plans?
What's your intended timeframe for the project?
Perfect, we can optimize our workflows and assign resources whenever they're available. This will reduce organisational cost.
Alright, we will try to keep a good balance between optimized workflow and urgent delivery.
Ok, I get it. The project gets highest priority then.
May I proceed to the last question?
An important factor about project cost is about how much control you need across the process. Whether you know already exactly what you need or you want to evaluate intermediate results during the process, you should have control.
How many revisions do you think will you need?
Cool, this will ensure a fast and smooth process.
Ok, we'll be happy to be your sparring partner.
Ok, we love complex projects :-)
It could also be a good idea to discuss a "flatrate" based collaboration then. We'll come back to you for that purpose.
Thanks for your input. We now have all the data to do an initial rough estimate. Are you ready?
Taking into account all the parameters, I roughly estimate a timeframe of about 0 days to ∞ days and a budget of about 0 € and 0 € for the execution of your project.
Does this sound reasonable to you?
Great! I think it's time for a human to take over.
Do you want us to contact you to further discuss your project?
Cool! Just leave your contact data here and a specialist from our team will contact you as soon as possible.

Thank you

We will come back to you as soon as possible!

About 3D Unit

Behind 3D Unit is the team at Sintesi Labs Design GmbH. Our mission is to support design firms, start-ups and manufacturing companies with the technical implementation of their product development processes.

For over 20 years, our design agency has been executing projects in the field of industrial design. Early on, we learned that even the best product ideas, with their carefully balanced design, often lose quality unnecessarily at critical junctures—or even fail—on the path to industrial feasibility. We have identified the integration of engineering processes and, subsequently, the creation of high-quality production geometries that remain true to the design as critical junctures in this process.
That is why, over the years, we have systematically honed our expertise in these areas, invested in skills and industry-standard software, and obtained certifications to protect confidential customer data.

Our services, whether seamlessly integrated into our clients’ service offerings or provided as part of external project support, clear the way for the design, engineering, and manufacturing teams involved to deliver high-quality products.
