New Product Development
New Product Development
From Concept to Production-Ready Components
Kotran Engineering supports New Product Development (NPD) projects involving the development of new components and products from the initial concept through prototype and manufacturing.
Our NPD activities include understanding customer requirements, concept development, CAD modelling, engineering development, design modifications, prototype development, manufacturing feasibility, process planning, machining development, prototype machining, and component testing/support.
We support customers with a new component, product concept, drawing, or CAD model who require engineering and manufacturing support to develop the final component.
Our focus is on developing practical, manufacturable solutions and supporting the transition from concept to production-ready components.

Our Process
A Smarter Approach to New Product Development
At Kotran Engineering, our NPD process begins with understanding the customer requirement, concept, drawing, or CAD model. We then develop the engineering and manufacturing approach, followed by prototype development and machining.
Understand the Requirement
We review the customer concept, drawing, CAD model, specifications, and development requirements.
Develop the Solution
We develop the engineering, CAD, design, and manufacturing approach for the component.
Build & Machine the Prototype
The prototype is developed and machined according to the planned design and manufacturing approach.
Prepare for Production
We support manufacturing feasibility, process planning, testing, and development toward a production-ready component.
