There’s nothing quite like the feeling when, after months of hard work, you finally have a working prototype. Whether you’re a startup with big ideas that need to be materialized or an enterprise validating assumptions and rapidly iterating with off the shelf parts, the rubber meets the road when you move from the design phase to manufacturing.
Why? Because manufacturing is the point in product development where things get infinitely more complex. You’ll need to source the right parts, find a suitable factory, get your designs to the assembly line in time, and navigate the compliance and security challenges required to scale intellectual property globally. Of course, you’ll also need to do all this while keeping costs manageable.
With these new factors to consider, it’s helpful to have an experienced guide walk you through the process, whether that’s for a single step or for manufacturing end-to-end.
