But first....
Where it began
Sometimes where you start the project. Isn't where you end up.
We began the project designing a large enclosure.
We thought it was pretty cool...
Detailed design
We got it ready for prototyping
We had to make sure the product works!
Prototyped
Testing..
We prototyped the majority of the parts using MJF Nylon 3D printing with a black die.
After putting everything together and shipping to the client.
We both realised the design was to complicated for the functionality.
So we overhauled the entire design, and stripped everything that didn't need to be there.
Finally
Where we ended
After recalibrating our priorities. aka the customer.
We found a design that functioned and was half the part count.
Great victory for product costing.
Lesson learnt
No fluff
At the end of the day. The customer wants a product that does the job.
Extras just add more cost to the business with no extra value to the end customer.
