Turn designs into manufacturable prototypes and production‑ready plans—fast.
Avid Inventions helps product teams reduce risk early with DFM, process/material selection, supplier strategy, costed BOM development, prototype build planning, and production ramp readiness.
Manufacturability & Plan Session
A focused working session to identify build risks, align a realistic path to prototype, and outline what production readiness requires.
- Clear risks + DFM actions
- Timeline and budget ranges
- Cost drivers and a costed BOM direction
- Next‑step execution plan
When prototypes can’t be guesswork.
Ideal for product teams that need decisions locked early—before prototype loops, quote churn, or supplier surprises slow the program down.
Outputs: risk list, build approach, supplier path, and a plan you can execute internally or with Avid as your engineering partner.
Engineering that makes prototypes buildable—and production predictable.
Focused services that reduce iteration, stabilize costs, and align suppliers to the same scope.
DFM / DFMA
Geometry, tolerances, fasteners, assemblies, service access, and test considerations—optimized for the chosen manufacturing process.
Process + material selection
Select processes and materials that match performance targets and cost constraints: sheet metal, machining, plastics, composites, and hybrid builds.
Costed BOM development
Build a costed bill of materials direction and highlight cost drivers early—before quotes drift and scope changes multiply.
Supplier strategy
Make/Buy decisions, supplier segmentation, and a path to prototype → pilot → production aligned to lead times and quality controls.
Prototype build planning
Plan the build sequence, test points, and fixtures so the prototype answers the right questions with fewer loops.
Production ramp readiness
Documentation, quality checkpoints, and packaging/handling considerations so pilot builds behave like production.
Examples of the problems we de‑risk.
Prototype‑ready enclosures, retail tech modules, fixtures, and build plans that make suppliers successful.
Start with a Manufacturability & Plan Session.
You’ll leave with clear risks, timeline/budget ranges, and a practical execution plan.
Book the session
Share your design, constraints, and target dates. We’ll map the fastest path to a manufacturable prototype and production readiness.
Send drawings, sketches, or photos with key constraints and target dates.
