A Part That Works Once Isn't a Product
From the organizer
A prototype only has to work once. A product has to be made a thousand times, at a price, without anyone babysitting the process. Most of that cost gets locked in during design, long before a part reaches the shop, and the same part can be easy or painful to make depending on the material it's designed around.
About this Session
This is a practical session on design for manufacturing, and Mike Coyle is here to help us scale up. He'll cover how to take a design from prototype toward production, and how choosing a different material for the same function changes the process, the tooling, and the cost. Bring your questions, and a part or design you're working on if you have one.
