From our projects
A wearable, made buildable
A wearable housing could only be printed, costing over 2,000 dollars per shell.
The audit traced the cost to one unmouldable detail.
Our engineers reworked it without changing the product's appearance.
Sample costs fell to double digits, with a path to tooling.
