Step 2 · Concept

Looks-Like Design & Functional Concepting  Starting at $300

Where an idea becomes a real product direction: the initial looks-like design, the functional layout — how the parts fit, move, and are held — and CAD modeling for appearance and ergonomics, with multiple rounds of refinement until the direction is locked.

STARTER
$300
Low complexity · 2 revisions

1 concept direction: looks-like CAD model + the functional layout (how it fits together, moves, and is held) + 1 render.

STANDARD
$600
Medium complexity · 3 revisions

Everything in Starter + CAD refined for appearance and ergonomics + multiple rounds of refinement + 3 renders. This matches the concepting milestone in ParcoTech's full-journey projects.

ADVANCED
Custom
High complexity · Custom scope

Everything in Standard + a physical concept model you can hold — made the way that fits the product, not just 3D printed + a summary of the path to a working prototype. Final scope and price are set in the consultation.

What you need to provide

  • Everything from Step 1: your idea, sketches, photos, or reference products
  • What the product must do, and what it has to fit or mate with
  • Look-and-feel direction if you have one — examples you like, or want to avoid

What you receive

  • A looks-like design in CAD you can react to
  • The functional layout worked out, not guessed
  • A locked design direction, ready for prototyping
Pricing note: the prices on this page are starting points, not final quotes. Final pricing is finalized in your free 30-minute consultation, once the complexity of your project and any testing it needs are clear. All prices are labor only — R&D costs and product costs (materials, components, and supplies bought to build or test your product) are extra.
