The design phase is the foundation of any product development project. At this stage, engineers must create 3D models, conduct material selection, and ensure the designs are optimized for manufacturability.
The prototyping phase involves testing the design to ensure functionality, aesthetics, and manufacturability. It’s a critical step where engineers can refine their designs and avoid costly production errors.
Once the designs are finalized and validated through prototyping, the next step is to ensure the product can be produced at scale efficiently, maintaining quality and keeping costs under control.
