Our name exyo, short for express yourself, reminds us why we started our company. Our aim is to eliminate frustration.
We want to see problem solving ideas developed into well designed products that help people to express themselves more fully!
For us that means making it as easy as possible for clients to develop their ideas, turn them into market ready products, and providing support post development in manufacturing, supply chain management, and all the logistics of maintaining a device on the market.
Exyo Design Ltd is an engineering design consultancy specialising in assistive devices for independent living. Our service is a personalised one, that has at its core a user centered product development process that is directed by your goals. Clear communication, explanation, and opportunity to interact with the process at every stage are essential to our service. We’ll also seamlessly manage the transition from product development to market entry, production and post market surveillance.
Our clients said it best
“Throughout the [design] process the team at EXYO have been professional, innovative and problem solving - whilst listening to the brief. They [exyo] have a strong service user focus and have been able to translate our therapeutic intent into an end product.”

Fully understand the problem. What drives the product needs? What are the key design constraints? Finding the best solution most efficiently requires taking the time to look at the whole context of a problem, and outputting a robust Engineering Design Specification. This also lays the groundwork for any required regulatory work and greatly saves on project costs down the line.
What are the essential functions required to solve the problem and how can they be performed? Answering these questions allows us to show that the design problem can be solved before we go any further. It also gives us a full picture, allowing us to start to think of how these functions could fit together and which methods would work best together within a product.
How can product functions fit and work together within a system? What should that system look like? How should that system be interacted with? What could the system be made from? How could the system be manufactured? Prototypes start to look and feel like products, or start to function like products. These two paths converge throughout the configuration stage.
Refining design parameters to optimise performance. Tolerances, specific materials, finish, manufacturing processes etc. are evaluated and refined until the system meets the satisfaction requirements outlined in the formulation stage and maintained throughout the design process. Systems can then be tested to ensure they meet regulated safety standards.
Are there any minor modifications required as a response to system testing? What details, tolerances, and inspection requirements are required for batch manufacture? How will the system be packaged? Documentation for manufacturers, users, and regulators is finalised and regulatory hurdles to CE marking are addressed, clearing the way to market entry.
