Product development
OSWORKS provides product development services for companies creating physical products or technical systems. Our process combines engineering design, manufacturability, and practical testing.
The goal is to develop solutions that work in real-world use and are ready for production.
Product Development and 3D Design for Industrial Products
Product development determines how functional, cost-efficient, and production-ready the final product will be. OSWORKS provides product development services for companies creating physical products and technical systems, where design, manufacturability, and practical testing work together throughout the process.
Development is always driven by the intended application, with early consideration given to component functionality, durability, assembly, post-processing, and the potential transition from prototypes to serial production.
3D printing and rapid prototyping enable an iterative and cost-efficient development process. Because product development at OSWORKS is integrated into a broader manufacturing workflow, the solutions we design can also be manufactured, finished, and assembled — resulting in functional products, not just concepts.
Practical Product Development with 3D Printing
Product development is an ongoing dialogue between the idea, the prototype, and the final product. We utilize 3D printing and rapid prototyping as part of the development process.
During development, we consider:
- Component functionality and durability
- Manufacturability and cost efficiency
- Future development and potential serial production
Manufacturability and Cost-Efficient Transition to Production
Manufacturing methods, assembly, and post-processing are considered early in the design phase. This speeds up the transition from prototype to production and reduces the need for changes later in the process.

Production scales flexibly from single parts to small production batches, without fixed minimum order quantities.
Product Development as Part of a Complete Service
Product development can be delivered as:
- A standalone service
- Part of prototype manufacturing
- Part of contract manufacturing
The client works with one partner throughout the entire development process, from idea to finished product.
We don’t just print parts.
We design and develop solutions tailored to your company’s needs.
3D design
OSWORKS provides 3D printing services for companies developing and manufacturing physical products. We produce functional, production-ready plastic components, from prototypes to small and medium production batches — delivered quickly, flexibly, and designed for their intended application.
Assembly
OSWORKS provides assembly and contract manufacturing services for companies that need a reliable partner for producing technical components and products. The service covers assembly of individual parts as well as small and medium production batches, where quality, flexibility, and reliable delivery are essential.
Frequently Asked Questions About Product Development
What Is Needed for 3D Printing?
3D printing requires a high-quality 3D model that defines the shape, dimensions, and structure of the part. The file formats we accept include STL, STEP, 3MF, and SLDPRT (SOLIDWORKS).
Choosing the right material is also important to ensure the product has the required properties. In industrial applications, materials often need resistance to chemicals, heat, and impact, while PLA is typically sufficient for prototypes. OSWORKS helps select the most suitable material and can also create the 3D model if needed.
Is There a Minimum Order Quantity for 3D Printing?
There is no minimum order quantity. We can produce a single part, a small batch, or a larger production series, depending on your needs.
How Can I Get a 3D Model for 3D Printing?
OSWORKS offers 3D design services to create a 3D model quickly and cost-effectively.
Options include:
- 3D scanning and reverse engineering – creating a 3D model based on an existing part
- 3D design – developing a model based on your idea or sketch
- Modification of an existing 3D model
