I wanted to create this thread to chronicle the steps I take to move from an idea to a physical item for sale. Finishing TMF threw me into a flurry of action so in this first post I want to outline what has been accomplished in the first weeks and then will provide regular updates as the project is moved forward.
1: improvement to existing consumer product identified.
2: prototype made and shared with small group of consumers that purchase in this niche.
3: made further modifications based on VOC feedback.
4: finalized specs and completed technical drawings.
5: material for manufacture identified (ABS)
6: engineer engaged with technical drawings to produce cad files.
7: short listed local injection molding shops and starting to make appointments to discuss min production runs and setup fees/run fees. Appointments after the holidays.
8: selected local tooling shop to produce mold for injection molding production.
9: company engaged for producing a 30 second web short for marketing.
10: completion of necessary paperwork for provisional patent.
11: filed business paperwork
I will update weekly as we move along but wanted to get this started before I fell further behind on our action items.
