How To Make It REAL
Once you have validated that your product has a market, in almost all cases, the next step is to make it REAL or in other words, build a prototype. Now you have a physical representation to show potential customers, retailers, and licensees.
Werner Blumenthal is the perfect person to walk us through this process. He is an actual engineer as opposed to a product designer, who works mostly on how things look. He gets more into the nuts and bolts of how things work. Werner also focuses on design for manufacturing which can save you thousands of dollars during the manufacturing process.
Learn what you should focus on and how seemingly small details can really affect not only product performance … but more importantly, your bottom line. Launching a product from scratch requires the coordination of a lot of moving parts. Before embarking on this journey, learn to think, create and eventually succeed by stacking the odds in your favor. This seminar will summarize the process from design to product fabrication covering such topics as:
- Idea Workshop
- Traditional Product Development
- Conceptual Design vs. Engineering Design
- Test and Validation of Design, Digitally
- Design optimization
- Right down to printing the actual prototype
Mr. Blumenthal is the Founder and CEO of WB Engineering http://wb-3d.com and has been heavily involved in the 3D Printing industry since 2007when he became Florida’s first 3D Systems’ authorized reseller. Werner has experience in design and prototyping of medical devices, consumer products and aerospace, with clients including Magic Leap, Stryker, Vivex and Boston Science.
