Services
We’ve got your product development needs covered. From initial design to final manufacturing, let’s bring your vision to life with precision and quality.
Design
The final concept needs visualizing and prototyping to show how it might work, look, and feel.
This allows for better consideration of elements such as materials, manufacturability, mechanisms, and construction.
Our experienced designers create 3D CAD models and 3D-printed models for hardware, and wire-framing and design mock-ups for software.
Our rapid prototyping approach allows us to quickly identify problems and develop solutions early in the product development process.

Determining the market success of your new product idea starts with evaluating its technical and economic viability. This involves crucial questions: Can the product be manufactured? Is its competitive advantage sustainable? Are the necessary technologies accessible? Are the product and development costs within acceptable limits?
Collaborative Feasibility Assessment
At Vulcan, we collaborate closely with you to gather essential information and assess the feasibility of your product idea. Our process includes creating a detailed Product Requirement Document (PRD), conducting a comprehensive technology assessment, and defining optimal product specifications. This ensures that potential challenges are identified and addressed early, providing you with peace of mind and preventing costly scope changes and delays.
Product Discovery Phase
This initial phase is crucial in preventing unexpected changes in the project scope that could lead to additional costs and delays. By identifying and solving potential challenges early, we allow you to focus on your business, confident that your product development is in expert hands.
Advantages of Partnering with Vulcan
As an all-in-one product development company, Vulcan supports you throughout the entire product development cycle. Our integrated approach means that we can address and resolve issues identified during the feasibility study early on, helping you concentrate on your business goals with fewer disruptions.

Intellectual Property Protection
Safeguarding your idea with intellectual property (IP) rights is a crucial step in the product design and invention process. Once secured, these rights protect the unique and innovative aspects of your product from infringement, granting you exclusive rights to manufacture and sell your product within the patent's jurisdiction.
Expert Patenting Services
At Vulcan, we excel in helping clients bring new ideas to competitive and regulated markets through successful, innovative, and patented products. Our experienced team of designers and engineers has filed patent applications across various industry sectors for both startups and enterprises.
Collaborative Patent Search and Strategy
Working together, we will conduct a comprehensive patent search to identify any potential infringements related to your idea. Depending on the type of patent required—Utility, Design, or Technology—we will recommend the best strategy. Subsequently, we will shortlist concepts for a detailed review by our network of patent attorneys, ensuring you achieve Freedom to Operate (FTO).

Packaging now plays a crucial role beyond protecting products during transit—it is an integral part of the overall product experience. It is often the first interaction customers have with your product, distinguishing it in a retail environment and creating lasting impressions during unboxing. Our approach to packaging design integrates functionality, branding aesthetics, and protection. We consider how a package looks, feels, sounds, and behaves, creating a multi-sensory experience that connects people with your brand and product.
For new products, we can develop designs and branding for market launch. For existing product lines, we align packaging and design artwork with your current branding. Our flexibility and experience help startups and enterprises overcome constraints, from cost per unit to sustainability and environmental considerations. Partnering with our design firm in Mexico allows us to leverage lower costs while ensuring high-quality outputs.
