Idea to Proof of Concept

Concept Development
  • Brainstorm & Refine:
    Sketch, prototype using readily available materials, or utilize 3D printing to explore design possibilities.
  • Focus on Functionality:
    Prioritize the core functionality of the component in the POC stage.
Proof of Concept (POC) Plan
  • Defining Success Criteria:
    How will you measure the success of the POC? (e.g., strength testing, assembly time reduction)
  • POC Prototype:
    we create a basic, functional prototype using appropriate materials and manufacturing methods that reflect the final product.
Cost Estimation
  • Roughly estimate the cost to manufacture the final product based on the POC prototype.
POC Execution
  • Testing & Feedback:
    Test the POC prototype based on your success criteria. Gather feedback from potential customers and internal teams.
  • Iterate & Refine:
    Based on the feedback, refine the design and address any identified issues.
Go/No-Go Decision
  • Analyze Results:
    Evaluate the POC results against the success criteria.
  • Go/No-Go Decision:
    Based on the analysis, decide to move forward with full development or refine the concept further.
