Take Your Concept from Prototype to Production-Ready

PrototypingWorkshop GraphicAssets 02

Welcome attendees to the Hardware Prototyping Workshop. Get ready to gain valuable expertise through practical exercises to support your product design/build needs.

In this session you will discover how to identify manufacturing issues early in the product development process, as we introduce design for manufacturability and lean product design concepts. Through hands-on exercises and a structured approach, you’ll evaluate your product design from multiple perspectives, explore production methods, and anticipate potential failure modes.

Please find the agenda and speaker information below. We’re looking forward to working with you!
