Starting from an existing product, a quick sketch on a napkin or simply a stubborn problem that needs a fresh approach, Aria Group’s Design Department has the talent and resources ready to generate the solutions your project requires.

Aria's design staff has extensive experience in all manner of industrial design projects, from "blue sky" conceptualization to execution for production. The creative team uses a variety of media, from pencil sketches to full digital renderings to help realize designs. Aria’s design process expertise continues with 3-D execution in the form of mockups, digital models, and clay and CNC machined scale and full size models.

Our team is experienced in tackling design requests based on input in every format conceivable: from hand-drawn doodles to hundreds of gigabytes of laser scan data. Through every project Aria Group maintains a consistent digital workflow that allows the client to review the design progress as it evolves from two dimensional illustrations to three-dimensional photo realistic renderings to fully engineered virtual prototypes.

The tight integration of Aria Group’s design and engineering team maintains focus on the viability of the proposed concepts ensuring that the final solutions achieved don’t merely look good on the computer screen but meet all the real-world functionality, reliability, and cost targets for the project as well.

Digital modeling is fundamental in the new era of product development. Strong focus has been placed on investment in Aria’s capabilities in both the technology and skilled staff to provide a full range of digital modeling services. The software package “Alias” is the backbone of Aria’s digital modeling tools, complemented by “ICEMsurf” and “Rhino.”

Aria produces a wide range of 3-D digital models to support the design and prototype process through to Class A production release data. By combining the company’s strength in digital modeling with its milling and rapid prototyping capabilities, Aria delivers high quality with short lead times.
