OSM Group is pleased to announce the opening of our new Product Development Lab at our manufacturing facility in China. The lab strengthens our end-to-end product development services, enabling faster innovation and closer collaboration between our Engineered Soft Goods and Electronic Engineering Teams.
A Space Built for Real Product Creation
In addition to specific lab based machines that enable rapid prototyping, we typically aim to utilise the same machinery, assembly techniques, and technologies applied on the production floor to gain early insight into potential risks and process challenges—reducing surprises later in the manufacturing stage.
The lab reinforces our role as a Global Manufacturing Partner for brands across Engineered Soft Goods, Industrial/Consumer Electronics and hybrid solutions.
What Happens Inside the Product Development Lab
- Prototype builds – functional to cosmetic representations
- Material selection, verification, and development
- DFM validation
- Small pre-production runs using real production equipment
The lab is well equipped with a full range of capabilities and technologies, including Heat Press, Forming, Die Cutting, High-Frequency Welding, Ultrasonic Welding, 3D Printing, Assembly.
Reducing Time-to-Market Through Integrated Testing
Typical production runs involve several verification phases— Engineering Validation Test, Design Validation Test, Production Validation Test, and RAMP—often extending timelines. Our integrated approach helps brands streamline this process during the initial stages with fail fast sprints.
From Concept to Scalable Manufacturing
The new lab supports our position as an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) for brands seeking premium product solutions with production teams in China and the Philippines, we’re able to help customers move seamlessly from idea to scalable production.
