FAQs

1. How fast can you complete a new product prototype development?

Our product development process is built for speed. With design, engineering, and manufacturing all in-house, DEM can deliver a new product prototype development in as little as 10 weeks, helping our customers on their path to market and reducing handoff delays.

2. Can DEM handle everything from product concept to final build?

Yes. We offer turnkey product development, covering every step from early product design and development to PCB assembly and production. You won’t need to coordinate multiple vendors. DEM is your complete product development partner.

3. What makes DEM different from other product development companies?

Most product development companies handle only part of the process. DEM is vertically integrated, meaning we manage design, engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing under one roof. That means faster timelines, fewer risks, and better quality control.

4. Are you a good fit for custom product development with low volumes?

Absolutely. DEM specializes in custom product development, flexible order volumes, and flexible tooling strategies to help startups and OEMs bring new ideas to life without high upfront costs.

5. How involved should a design and manufacturing firm be throughout the new product development process?

A true product development partner should be involved from day one and stay involved at every stage. At DEM, our team collaborates closely from concept refinement and CAD modeling to prototyping, testing, and production. With everything in-house, we ensure your product is engineered for performance, scalability, and manufacturability without unnecessary delays or compromises.

6. Where does your electronics manufacturing actually take place, and is any of it offshore?

All of our electronics manufacturing happens in our Ohio facility. We are 100% U.S.-based across design, engineering, and production, with no offshore outsourcing, which keeps sourcing, traceability, and intellectual property under domestic control.

7. How long does moving from concept to commercialization usually take with your team?

Timelines vary by complexity, but our vertically integrated process can develop the concept into a marketable product in as little as 10 weeks, because design, engineering, and production collaborate under one roof without vendor handoffs.

8. What makes your electronic product development different from using separate design and manufacturing firms?

Our electronic product development keeps design, engineering, and manufacturing in one team, so problems surface early, changes happen in real time, and you avoid the costly handoffs and finger-pointing that fragmented vendor chains create.

9. Does DEM work with startups or only large, established companies?

DEM works with both. We support startups and innovators with flexible low-volume production and prototyping, alongside established OEMs, across defense, medical, first-responder, and industrial markets, adapting our process to each program's stage and volume.

10. What certifications does DEM hold?

DEM holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certifications, is ITAR registered, and maintains a CAGE code (52CQ1). Our medical division is FDA registered for Class I and Class II devices.

11. Can DEM handle both low-volume and high-volume production?

Yes. Our flexible production floor supports runs from a few hundred units to tens of thousands, so you can start with low-volume or prototype builds and scale up with the same partner as demand grows.

12. What industries does the company serve?

DEM serves defense, medical, first-responder and law enforcement, and industrial markets, building rugged, high-performance electro-mechanical products for customers who operate in time-sensitive, high-stakes environments where reliability cannot be compromised.
