Many product developers underestimate the real costs of bringing a product to market. It’s easy to focus on the patent or the prototype and overlook the engineering and manufacturing setup required to actually produce the product at scale. When preparing a new product for mass production, there’s a lot more involved than just ordering parts and assembling them. Before anything can roll off the production line, there’s often significant upfront work that needs to happen, and t

If you're developing a product that includes plastic parts, one of the most important decisions you'll make early on is selecting the...

When developing a product with plastic parts, one of the most common questions is: How long will it take to get production-ready parts? The answer often depends on the tooling process. Creating plastic injection molds isn’t just about cutting steel, it’s a multi-step process that includes tool design, machining, testing, and refinements. Understanding the plastic injection molding timeline helps teams plan more accurately, avoid delays, and meet critical launch dates. In this

When it comes to testing your product with beta testers or a focus group, not just any prototype will do. At this point, basic...
