How to Accelerate New Product Development with the Right Manufacturing Partner
Developing a new product is exciting, but it's also full of challenges. Tight timelines, budget pressure, and performance unknowns can slow down even the best ideas. Whether you're building a proof of concept or preparing for a product launch, the right manufacturing partner can make all the difference.
At MPC, we support New Product Introduction (NPI) from prototype to production with advanced polyurethane components engineered for both performance and scalability.
Here's how we help design teams and engineers bring new products to life faster and more confidently.
Step 1: Discovery & Engineering Input:
We start by understanding your application in depth: environmental conditions, load requirements, wear resistance, and more. Our team works directly with your team to shape the right approach before prototyping begins.
Step 2: Material Selection & Design for Manufacturability (DFM):
Choosing the right polyurethane formulation matters. We guide you through options for durometer, elasticity, chemical resistance, and temperature tolerance, while providing DFM input to avoid costly redesigns later.
Step 3: Prototyping & Iteration:
Need a quick sample or small batch? We offer rapid prototyping options to help validate your design quickly in the material suited for your needs.
Step 4: Tooling & Production Ramp-Up:
Once the design is approved, we develop production tooling optimized for your volumes. Our in-house capabilities reduce lead times and ensure consistent quality from the first run forward.
Step 5: Post-Launch Support:
We stay involved even after your product hits the market. If field performance data points to an opportunity for improvement, we help refine the design and scale accordingly.
Why Customers Choose MPC for NPI:
- Collaborative engineering support: Our team works hand-in-hand with yours to optimize designs before they hit the floor.
- Polyurethane expertise: We've been solving material challenges for decades, helping customers select the right formulation for performance, durability, and cost-efficiency.
