Design Lab.
Turn your idea into a manufacturable product.
From concept to production-ready design, engineered for reality.
BMI’s Design Lab transforms early-stage ideas into practical, manufacturable plastic products. Working alongside experienced product engineers, we de-risk your concept through real-world design validation.
Consult with design experts
Speak directly with experienced product and manufacturing engineers under NDA. We’ll explore your idea, challenge assumptions and map a clear design route — giving you confidence, clarity and direction before you commit.
Design for manufacture
Once your concept is defined, we evolve it into a production-ready design. Every detail is engineered for injection moulding, from material selection and tolerances to tooling feasibility, with prototype samples produced to validate form, fit, and function.
A supportive approach
Product development can feel complex. Our role is to simplify it. We work as an extension of your team — educating, guiding and problem-solving at every stage to keep progress moving smoothly from idea to outcome.
Design solutions that deliver.
Bring your idea to life, quickly and effectively.
New concept or existing design challenge? We can help.
Manufacturing-led designers
A senior engineering team that designs with production in mind, combining creative problem-solving with deep injection moulding knowledge.
Design engineered for reality
We balance form, function and feasibility. Designers, toolmakers and machinists work as one team to ensure every product detail performs in the real world.
Technology that accelerates
From advanced CAD and functional 3D printed prototypes to rapid tooling, CNC machining, laser cutting and engraving, and UV colour printing.
Design built on manufacturing intelligence.
Where product design meets production certainty.
Our Design Lab is embedded within a live manufacturing environment, meaning we remove handover friction, eliminate costly redesigns and give you a clearer, faster route to market.
