Prototyping on a budget - Chuma Asuzu

Third talk at v1.2, the second Hackaday Hardware Lagos meetup held on the 30th of July, 2016.

Transcript

1. prototyping on a budget chuma v1.2
2. v1.2 me engineer writes quite a bit Gero + Tony Involute @captainunibrow
3. v1.2 prototype (noun) a learning tool as part of a product development process not, a proof of concept a product candidate looks-like vs works-like
4. v1.2 handheld remote build looks-like works-like
5. v1.2 objectives test: form > how does it look? feel? function > does it behave as expected? material > extra strength? more flexibility? production > manufacture at scale?
6. v1.2 processes* 2D Sketching Laser Cutting 3D CAD Foam core/Paper 3D printing Silicone molding 4D Video *available in Nigeria
7. v1.2 sketching fast dispensable low resolution easy to communicate difficult to replicate
8. v1.2 laser cutting good for displays cuts various materials can prototype PCBs slower easily replicated Nisense, by Notonlab
9. v1.2 CAD suitable for analysis FEM enabled (plugins) slow requires expertise requirement for scale SolidWorks
10. 3D printing relative speed expensive when not owned requires expertise only for prototyping v1.2
11. v1.2 silicone molding urethane casting good for products that should handle food can employ 3D printed masters a mold can be used up to 50 times cheap -> $57 - $70 kits Stratasys
12. v1.2 video useful for crowdfunding particular doesn't require product permanent Kickstarter
13. v1.2 extra plan your prototyping process understand the technique build it into your CAD sketch extensively -> at the early stages ask for help may the force be with you
