David Berk

I am a passionate and driven professional with 25 years of experience in product development, specializing in prototyping and manufacturing. With a background in Industrial Design, I have honed my ability to transform conceptual designs into functional prototypes and guide clients through to full-scale production. I collaborate with engineers, designers, product developers, and independent inventors across diverse industries—including automotive, consumer goods, medical devices, packaging, Point of Purchase displays, and trade show exhibits. My expertise is in leveraging cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing, CNC machining, urethane casting and vacuum forming to create precise, efficient models that inform design and manufacturing decisions. With a deep understanding of the complexities of prototyping, I focus on material selection, process optimization, cost management, and iterative testing to ensure prototypes are not only functional but also scalable. I am committed to ensuring that prototypes meet both design specifications and real-world manufacturing requirements. My experience also extends to Designing for Manufacturing (DFM), where I provide cost-effective solutions and guidance to make critical adjustments before production. My sales background has sharpened my ability to understand client needs, communicate solutions effectively, and build lasting relationships. I excel at translating technical concepts into compelling value propositions, helping teams collaborate to manage project timelines, costs, and expectations. Driven by a passion for innovation, I am excited to continue pushing the boundaries of prototyping to support more efficient, high-quality production outcome.
