Mission StatementRDM is a product development company that streamlines the lengthy, expensive, and confusing process known as "R&D" for inventors and small businesses through its suite of engineering services. RDM produces functional prototypes at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches and bridges the gap between prototype and production with its proprietary low-volume manufacturing processes. The team at RDM combines 15 years of experience with a passion for building products with clients to create innovative solutions at the crossroads of Research, Development, and Manufacturing.Our Story-Since the beginning, the RDM founders had always shared a passion for tinkering. For 7 years, the collective traveled across the United States to compete in product design and engineering competitions. After winning several national championships in engineering design the team began thinking: What if there's more to product design besides winning trophies? What if we started a company focused on researching, developing, and manufacturing products with inventors?In 2015, the founders did just that, in a garage with two computers and a 3D printer. Working in the garage for two years, the team formed a bond and vision for success that followed them into their dorm rooms in pursuit of degrees at the University of South Florida and the University of Florida.During that first year in college, RDM partnered with a photographer to develop a product called the band.it. After securing a utility patent, managing a successful Kickstarter campaign, and winning the UF Big Idea and USF Fintech business plan competitions for band.it, RDM proved its business model as a unique product development company and scaled operations into a 3,500 sq.ft. office in Gainesville, FL. Since then, RDM has expanded its services and successfully developed products from consumer goods to medical devices. We set ourselves apart by building products with our customers, not just for them.
