Ewan Wills — Product Development Studio

What does Ewan Wills do?

Ewan runs a one-person product development studio. Most engagements run in four phases: discover (the problem and the constraints), prototype (fast first-principles builds to de-risk the concept), refine (tolerance analysis, design for manufacture, iteration against real testing) and deliver (drawings, bills of materials and a supplier-ready package).

What disciplines does the studio cover?

Mechanical CAD, design for manufacture, machining, tolerance analysis. Electronics Custom PCBs, firmware, low-power and miniaturised design. Robotics Motion systems, gantries, controls, mechatronics integration. Product Prototype to market, supplier handoff, manufacturing packages.

What other projects has Ewan Wills built?

Past work covers client engagements, personal products and university coursework. A selection: EWrapper, a motorised device that rolls used combat-sports hand wraps back into a tight cylinder in about a minute. £29 (currently out of stock). Custom mouthguard cases, 3D printed in two colours so two otherwise-identical mouthguards can be told apart. £24, ships from the UK. Bulk and gym-branded orders available.

Who is Ewan Wills?

Ewan Wills is a product developer with a background in robotics engineering, based in the United Kingdom. It is a one-person studio, so there is no account-management layer: the engineer doing the work is the person you email. Clients arrive at one of two stages. Early-stage founders who need a concept proven before they raise capital, or startups with a working prototype that has to become a manufacturable product.
