Shortening the path from drawing to sample
Rapid prototyping capability is being developed to shorten the path from packaging requirement to physical sample. This page describes the intended workflow, not a current guaranteed service.
What prototyping is for
A physical sample answers questions a drawing cannot.
Fit
Does the product, the partition and the pad fit as drawn?
Handling
Do hand holes, lids and folds work in real hands?
Stacking
How does the structure behave when stacked?
Iteration
Revisions before any tooling or volume decision.
Intended workflow
The planned sequence for every prototype.
- 01
Specification
From the engineering review.
- 02
Structural concept
Board build and box structure.
- 03
Prototype
Physical sample of the structure.
- 04
Review
Evaluated by you in your conditions.
- 05
Revision
Adjusted where the review says so.
- 06
Sample confirmation
Agreed sample before a trial order.
This is the planned workflow. It is not a current guaranteed service, and no sample lead time is promised.
What we do not claim
- Samples in a fixed number of days
- 24-hour or same-day prototyping
- Rapid prototyping as a currently guaranteed service
