Bringing a product idea to life requires a well-planned production journey. Here are the steps to follow when transitioning from prototype to serial production.
1. Concept and Feasibility
The technical feasibility of the product and its estimated cost are evaluated.
2. Design and Engineering
3D modeling, DFM analysis and tolerancing are performed.
3. Prototype Production
The design is verified through single-piece or low-volume production.
4. Test and Revision
Improvements are made after functional tests.
5. Serial Production Plan
Molds, fixtures and production flow are planned.
6. Serial Production
Serial production begins with quality control procedures.
