Design Research

At Hamilton By Design begin with design research, turnkey innovation, & brainstorming the brief with the end in mind. We create truly fresh ideas from your design brief. We then begin concept design, & CAD development. 

Within our CAD model we begin validation, we can test physical properties like strength, toughness and flexibility. Then we rapid prototype the model, very useful in the design validation process.  

Manufacturing Hamilton By Design, we have in-house production facilities from plastic and metal extrusion, plastic injection molding & metal casting. Our manufacturing team offer a very attractive price points across a range of manufacturing processes. In many cases the manufacturing process is dictated by the initial concept development, far to often industrial design consultancies design products with out development.

Prototyping :




Prototyping at Hamilton By Design offers:
  • Prototypes incite communication about a concept, idea and or product stakeholders where there is an opportunity to that or input more of a personal stake to the process. If a user is presented with an early version of a system that has had substantial development work, they are more reluctant to criticize it an external set of eyes or prospective outside the development offers a more honest assessment.
  • Prototypes general have boundary conditions or a design brief that complies with the desired outcomes of the client.
  • Physical testing of prototypes have the advantage of grounding the discussion during a user session, making the sure the session does not get too much off track.
  • Not only can the prototype function as a discussion medium between designer and user but also between the members of the design team. Thus, prototypes may help facilitate work across disciplinary borders, bringing together a disparate team.
  • Prototypes incite and legalise experimentation as they are inexpensive to alter.
  • A greater focus on content, functionality and feel remove attention away from details of graphic design or an artistic impression.
  • Formal approval of the design from both manufactures and the client before you proceed to the development stage

Form - Function - Design


A core key competency of Hamilton By Design – Mechanical Design is an ability to provide a effectively functional Mechanical designs which are derived from a clients design brief.



The mechanical design process at Hamilton By Design in general terms strive to satisfy the design specifications or design criteria of form fit and function. 



The form of mechanical design, cover to the look, size, shape, mass, centre of mass along with the balance where the fit refers to the physical interface that connects to external elements or even humans

Product Design Vs Industrial Design

What is the difference between Product Design and Industrial Design. This question has puzzled many people. Many people use the terms 'Product Design' and 'Industrial Design' loosely and interchangeably. Many university students are taught that Product Design is a subset of Industrial Design. In Industrial Design the focus is on improving existing products or services, while Product Design deals specifically with solving problems through creating something that does not exist. For example, if you sit long on the floor your legs may ache. Hence from Product Design perspective you focus on inventing a large number of chairs, and choose the best one. While Industrial Design will also invent a chair and then focus on making this chair more comfortable, useful, beautiful, etc.

Further, some authors argue that Product Design is a specialization that deals exclusively with 'products' or something that can be produced, while Industrial Design is more general study that deals with products, services, installations, etc. Take an example of a house. Since it is a solution to living, it can be treated as a problem in Industrial Design, but again it is a product so it should be dealt with by Product Design. Such arguments are best understood if you choose one particular perspective and compare it over the other. By choosing Product Design, you will have a large number of different houses, which will suite the taste of different people. Then with Industrial Design  you will have one house, that will cater the likings of hundreds.

Then again a more commonly accepted approach to understand the choice in language is one of timing where Industrial Design is a step in the Product Design Process. As many Industrial Designers live in a world on their own with a focus on form and in some cases function with the Industrial Design is generally a pipe dream that is yet to be manufactured. Where Product Design is the complete process from Industrial Design including Toolmaking, Prototyping, Manufacturing along with life cycle testing. If an industrial Designer Designed a car or motor bike there would not be enough engineering for either of them to function but certainly it would look good.

Design to Manufacture

Hamilton By Design offer the complete Industrial design process from initial Research, Sketching, Developing, Virtual models, Finite Element Analysis, Prototype and tooling construction all the way through production in many cases. Hamilton By Design have a team of industrial designers, engineers, toolmakers and injection molders these function are preformed in-house.

Our view is that scalability and manufacture-ability is at the forefront for the design process without a depth of manufacturing knowledge it is impractical to consider researching. It is not practical to have design that look fantastic yet do not lend themselves to manufacturing process the some Sydney design companies come up with. Hamilton By Design assist Asian manufacturing companies develop manufacturing process based on Australian and or European standards  ensuring that the quality along with expectations are not compromised.

 Timing of tooling, lead times for smaller injection molds or press tools can take up to 5 weeks average size single cavity tools / molds from 6 to 10 weeks this is dependent on the number of cavities. Lead times  for
tools generally start at 10 weeks upwards with a direct relationship between the number cavities of forming stations in terms of press tooling. Tooling can be built and tested in Australia and shipped to any of our preferred suppliers across the Asian region.
