Manufacturing Engineering & Industrialization
Designing for Manufacture, Built for Scale
CDP partners with organizations to help them move from early ideas to fully realized products. Because we consider the entire path to market from the outset, the transition from development to manufacturing becomes far more predictable and far less stressful.
Manufacturing transfer is often one of the most challenging stages of a program. We reduce that risk by exploring the manufacturing process early—well before the design is locked. Understanding how a product will be built while it is still evolving allows us to identify potential issues sooner, refine the design with confidence, and avoid late-stage surprises.
Our approach brings manufacturing engineering into the development process from the beginning, ensuring the design is practical to produce. As the product matures, we build the supporting manufacturing processes, supply chains, and automation strategies in parallel. Our ISO 13485:2016 certified quality management system (QMS) also enables short-run manufacturing, allowing us to supply pre-production units for extended testing, market trials, or clinical studies. When the time comes to scale, we provide complete manufacturing information so you can select the most suitable and competitive supply partners.
For clients already partway through development, or in full-scale production, we can help resolve manufacturing challenges, strengthen supply chains, and design assembly or inspection systems. Whether we join at the beginning or mid-project, our aim is consistent: to support the creation of breakthrough products and ensure a smooth, well-prepared transfer into manufacturing.

We Bridge the Chasm
Our integrated team of design and manufacturing experts bridge the design transfer chasm, avoiding expensive delays to launch.
We provide comprehensive design for manufacture while ensuring a strong user-centered approach. You own the process IP and you control the cost of goods.
Our short-run manufacturing capability removes the cost barriers by providing product for clinical and field trials.
Groundbreaking sustainability project addresses plastic waste
We’re proud to announce our work with Pulpex. A truly groundbreaking sustainability project addressing plastic waste, one of the most pressing challenges of our era.
Pulpex is a patented, first-of-its-kind pulp packaging innovation. Renewable, recyclable and biodegradable, Pulpex enables brands to completely rethink their packaging proposition. Chris Houghton and Wade Tipton describe our collaboration.
Clinical Manufacturing
We manufacture Class II and III medical devices – mechanical and electronic, durable and consumable – for our global clients.
Digital tooling to reduce time to market
Getting new products to market efficiently is crucial to maximising your return on investment.
“Efficient and reliable manufacture is a prerequisite for profitable innovation. Our capability in both regulated and consumer products will shorten time to market and reduce launch costs.”
