PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
OEM / ODM
01 / ESKY SUPPLY
Silicone Product Development from Concept to Production
ESKY works with product teams from early manufacturing review through tooling, samples, validation and repeat production.
Custom Development
Product development and dedicated tooling around your application.
Quality & Delivery
Quality control, assembly, packaging and shipment coordination.
WHAT YOU CAN SEND
Start From Whatever You Have
A complete CAD package is welcome but not required — we regularly start from less.
CAD
3D models in standard formats.
2D drawing
Drawings with dimensions and requirements.
Reference sample
An existing part to measure and review.
Sketch
A concept sketch with key dimensions.
Product concept
A description of the idea and application.
Existing failed sample
A current part that no longer works.

COMMON PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Where Product Teams Get Stuck
Most of our development projects start with one of these situations.
Current sample fails
Existing supplier cannot handle multi-material structure
Need a new mold
Need faster prototype
Need cost optimization
Need silicone + plastic / metal / textile
Need better consistency
