Case Study: Paragon Filter and NCD Pulse – Precision Coffee Tools from Design to Market

Problem: Specialty coffee tools required precise plastic engineering, ergonomic form, and production readiness while preserving the designer's intent and barista performance goals.

Approach: Early DFM collaboration with Formswell Design, in-house tooling, and iterative engineering builds. Rapid prototyping enabled market launch of the Paragon Filter in approximately three months; NCD Pulse combined pulse vibration technology for top-layer coffee distribution.

Result: Production-ready precision components that elevated extraction consistency. The project demonstrated Threegon's ability to support design-led specialty consumer products with transparent communication and flexible scaling.
