Overview

This example project type covers the rapid development of functional components used to test new machine, sensor, product, or automation concepts before committing to larger production quantities.

Challenge

Committing to production-scale manufacturing before a design is validated risks costly rework if fit, function, or assembly issues surface late.

Solution

Components are iterated quickly using in-house CAD and manufacturing, allowing fit and assembly to be validated in small quantities before a design is finalised.
