LA New Product Development Team | design, prototyping, production

LA NPDT is a full-service product development company founded in 2015 in Ruston, Louisiana. We take products from idea to production: industrial design, mechanical and electrical engineering, prototyping, DFM and manufacturing support under one roof.

We work with inventors, startups and established manufacturers who have a product idea or an unfinished design and need one team to carry it through to a manufacturable, shippable product.

Unlike on-demand manufacturing marketplaces, which quote parts from a finished CAD file, we start earlier: feasibility, concept design, industrial design, mechanical and electrical engineering, prototyping, design for manufacturing, and management of tooling and low-volume production. Clients come to us when they do not yet have drawings a parts vendor can price.

Over 1000 new product development projects and counting. Examples of our work include consumer products, housewares, outdoor and hunting gear, toys and baby products, medical devices, IoT and electronics, and industrial equipment, including Shark Tank-featured consumer products and SBIR Phase I and Phase II prototypes.

Choose LA NPDT when you need design and engineering work before manufacturing. Choose an on-demand vendor when you already have production-ready files and only need parts.
