How does design development relate to product development?

Design development is a critical component of the product development process as it involves refining and perfecting the design of a product to ensure it meets the needs and wants of customers. During design development, designers work to create a prototype of the product and determine how it can be produced at scale. This stage involves creating detailed schematics and specifications that are used to manufacture the product.

Additionally, design development is crucial in ensuring that the product is feasible, safe, and cost-effective to manufacture. It helps to evaluate factors such as materials selection, manufacturing processes, and packaging.

Overall, design development works hand in hand with product development to create a successful product that meets the target audience's needs and expectations while also being practical to manufacture and cost-effective.
