For OEMs, product development can be a complex and costly process. Between designing, prototyping, testing, and full-scale manufacturing, companies often face inefficiencies that slow down their path to market. A full-service manufacturing partner eliminates these obstacles, handling everything from concept to production. This partnership streamlines the entire development process, reduces costs, and ensures seamless execution.
In this blog, we are going to go over what a full-scale manufacturing partner does and some of the major benefits it brings OEMs when developing new products.
A full-service manufacturing partner isn’t just a contract manufacturer—it’s an integrated team that manages the entire product lifecycle. From initial design and engineering to prototyping and full-scale production, a full-service partner ensures that every stage of development is optimized for efficiency and manufacturability.
Many OEMs struggle with:
A full-service partner like DEM Manufacturing eliminates these issues by offering a turnkey solution that integrates all aspects of development—helping OEMs launch products faster and with lower risk.
OEMs designing a new product for the first time often run into unexpected challenges that delay production and increase costs. Common mistakes include:
A full-service partner like DEM Manufacturing has the expertise and technology to proactively identify potential issues before they cause delays. Because DEM designs with manufacturability in mind, every product is optimized for cost-effective and high-quality production from the start.
This means fewer design changes, faster iterations, and lower production costs—so you don’t waste time fixing avoidable problems. With rigorous in-house testing and compliance expertise, DEM also ensures that your product meets ITAR, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485 standards before it reaches full production.
Hiring separate teams for engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing can be extremely expensive—especially for companies working with low to mid-volume production needs.
When you hire a full-service manufacturing partner, there is:
One of the biggest challenges OEMs face is ensuring a smooth transition from design to production. When working with a dedicated engineering firm and a separate manufacturer, companies can often run into miscommunications between engineers and production teams. This can result in designs that require extensive modifications to be manufactured, leading to increased costs and delays.
At DEM Manufacturing, we have a cross-functional team that works together throughout the development lifecycle—from design and engineering through production. This minimizes chances for problems to arise between each stage and allows for faster problem solving if they do.
When working with DEM Manufacturing, you don’t just get a manufacturer—you get an end-to-end development partner who helps you:
