PROTOTYPING VS. PRODUCTION: WHEN TO MAKE THE LEAP
Have you made several prototypes that you’ve gotten some great feedback on and you’re now starting to evaluate when you should transition to production?
Our panel of seasoned manufacturing personnel will look at several items to consider before transitioning:
*Design stability & production readiness
*Unit Pricing vs. non-recurring engineering
*Lead time expectations
*Product testing considerations
*Domestic vs. Off-shore
Our panelists include Colorado-based prototyping and production manufacturers from plastics & electronics to give the attendees an opportunity to hear perspectives from both sides:
*Jeffrey Jakubowski from iFuzion - prototyping plastic
*Matt Saunders from PTA Plastics - production plastic
*Stuart McKeel from Slingshot Assembly - prototyping electronics
*Stan Haag, Premier Manufacturing - production electronics
*Chuck Hodges from Zebulon Solutions - domestic and off-shore electronic contract manufacturing
