Who are weApplied Industrial Design

Welcome to Fripp Design and Research. We are a Product Design and Research Consultancy offering product design, applied industrial design, concept design, product development and research including concept development, CAD realisation, rapid prototyping and research services. We are based in the Advanced Manufacturing Park Technology Centre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. We live and breathe product design & development and have developed product designs for customers in a multitude of markets and industries. Not only do we do Design, we help many of our clients in the areas of Research, Intellectual Property protection and Business Development too. Please browse our portfolio to see case studies explaining the variety of design disciplines and other services we can offer you.

With our track record in the commercial development of Intellectual Property (IP) we have strategic partnerships with many leading UK Universities; where we help them to commercialise their IP. This service we brand as Applied Industrial Design, or Applied IDTM for short. 

Because of the strong relationship we have with many of our academic centres of excellence, Fripp Design and Research are the ideal private sector partner for sourcing funding from organisations such as the Technology Strategy Board and Framework7 (FP7) particularly as both organisations emphase the need for having project proposals lead by SME organisations in the private sector. Fripp Design and Research have a track record in leading such collaborations, securing publicly funded grants to help our clients de risk the necessary investment required to commercialise Intellectual Property (IP).  

We at Fripp Design and Research realise and understand the importance of product design to you and the need to provide value for money, whatever size organisation you are and whatever your budget may be.
