# Sample Manufacturing Tooling

> Manual low-volume tools that turned raw material into a new consumer product, and informed its high-volume design.

- Customer: Product development customer
- Industry: Consumer Products
- Service: Automation Engineering
- Capabilities: Fixtures & Tooling, Design for Manufacturing

## 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
