The challenge
- Produce a new consumer product at very low volumes before high-volume tooling existed
What APTUS did
- Designed a series of manual sample-production tools, drawing on our work on the product’s core design
Results
- Converted raw material into finished product at low volume
- Lessons from the tools led to design refinements for high-volume manufacturing
What went into it
- Fixtures & ToolingTools that hold, align, and check parts every time.
- Design for ManufacturingDesigned from day one to be easy to build.
