Our Services

1

Concept Development & Prototyping

One Block works closely with clients to refine ideas through an iterative prototyping process, tackling functional challenges and integrating manufacturing best practices. Together, we blend creativity and practicality to lay the groundwork for successful production.

2

Industrial Design

One Block partners with clients to create user-focused products that balance aesthetics, functionality, and manufacturability. Through close collaboration and an iterative process, we craft designs that are ready to build and designed to be remarkable.

3

Product Design and Mechanical Engineering

A product is only great if its also designed to be robust, perform reliably, and fit together perfectly at a reasonable cost. We focus on the technical details that make this possible, ensuring every part and system is optimized for performance, cost and manufacturability.

​

• Develop precise, cost-effective assembly solutions  

• Collaborate with Electrical Engineers for electronics fit

• Design and refine parts for functionality and cost efficiency

• Run simulations and analyses to validate performance

• Evaluate fabrication methods for precise part fit and finish

• Select materials for strength, sustainability and cost​​

• Provide concise appearance docs (color, material, finish)

4

Pre-Production and Testing Support

Getting a product ready for mass production requires thoughtful review, thorough testing, and an understanding of manufacturing best practices. One Block supports clients through the critical production and validation phases, ensuring parts and assemblies meet design specifications for fit, function, and appearance. 

​

• Review parts and recommend tooling modifications 

• Evaluate assemblies meet design specifications

• Design Reliability Testing plans and review results

• Support packaging and shipping reliability testing

• Ensure all electronic components integrate properly​

5

Program Management

Developing a product is a complex process that requires thoughtful coordination, careful planning and alignment across multiple contributors. One Block can be your Program Manager, ensuring that schedules, resources, and contributors—including electrical, software, packaging, and soft goods engineers—are working in harmony, aligned and integrated, to bring your product successfully to production.

Advising and Mentoring

Sometimes, you just need someone to bounce ideas off of or help you navigate a tricky decision. One Block offers mentoring and advisory support, whether it’s an informal chat to brainstorm your next steps or an ongoing, formal role as a trusted advisor. We’re here to share our experience, offer guidance, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence—whatever your project or challenge might be.

Do you need an integrated engineer on your existing team, or perhaps just support for a specific task or service? 

Great! We do this all the time. Just reach out and tell us about your project needs and we'll jump in with sleeves rolled up and ready to get started.
