Some of the steps of designing a new product:

The first initial ideas get sketched out by hand.

Then it goes into a full on 3-D rendering in CAD

We then use a 3-D printer to get a mock up sample. This is extremely handy when you need to trial fit or get a good feel for the part in real life versus just seeing it on a computer screen.
