06. Rapid prototyping and models
A practical decision-making process
With our in-house 3D printer, we can quickly produce prototypes to evaluate, test, and visualize physical models firsthand.
We then take care of preparing the aesthetic models.

07. Creative engineering and R&D
We develop smart system
From analyzing existing patents to design and prototyping, all the way through to establishing test protocols, we design new mechanical systems or adapt existing solutions to meet real-world needs.
We design the mechanisms integrated into your products to strike the right balance between light weight, performance, and reliability, providing R&D support from design through validation.

08. industrialization
A smooth transition to production
Our R&D teams prepare for the transition to production by providing the files needed to manufacture the tooling and by ensuring that the assemblies meet the requirements for mass production.
We incorporate a design-to-cost approach from the very beginning of the design process to optimize production costs and cycle times. Depending on the project’s needs, Kairn can also draw on its network of suppliers and makers to manufacture parts for specific products.

09. Textile and bags design
We develop textile products too.
From backpack design to technical textile products, we apply our product design expertise to enhance functionality, ergonomics, and user comfort. Prototyping allows us to iterate quickly and refine each solution to best meet user needs.

10. UI/UX design
We simplify the user experience
Our services also include interface design to deliver comprehensive and immersive user experiences that are fully integrated into the product.
We work with the best creative tools to keep up a flawless workflow with the development teams.

11. Digital communication
We boost your marketing
Before a product leaves the factory, we create 3D renderings, ultra-realistic product shots, and technical video animations. Our Digital Lab provides your digital marketing team with the visual content needed to support your marketing and product launch campaigns.
