Time is often the most expensive factor in product development. Every extra meeting, unclear drawing, or round of corrections slows down the path to production. Yet a faster lead time isn’t about working harder — it’s about working smarter. At Vormelijk Engineering, we shorten development cycles by bringing design, production, and feedback closer together.
1) Clarity before detail
Many projects lose time by diving into details too early. We start with a clear functional framework: what should the product do, how will it be used, and in what environment? Only then do we develop the technical details. This prevents repeated changes later in the process.
2) Working in parallel, not in sequence
Instead of waiting for the design to be “finished,” we involve production partners early on. This allows critical decisions on tolerances, materials, and processes to be made during the design phase. The CAD models are immediately aligned with real manufacturing practice — no time lost on post-iterations.
3) Reusable knowledge
We build on proven solutions — existing parts, standardized fasteners, and repeatable welding or bending processes. This not only shortens lead times but also increases the predictability and consistency of the final result.
4) One point of contact, fewer delays
By keeping design, coordination, and documentation under one roof, we eliminate miscommunication between departments and suppliers. The result: a faster and more reliable transition from CAD to production.
Smart engineering isn’t about speed at the expense of quality — it’s about clarity, structure, and collaboration that naturally make the process faster.
