Product development engineering • manufacturability-first

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
Best fit
Teams moving fast

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.

Services

Engineering that makes prototypes buildable—and production predictable.

Focused services that reduce iteration, stabilize costs, and align suppliers to the same scope.

DFM
Buildable

DFM / DFMA

Geometry, tolerances, fasteners, assemblies, service access, and test considerations—optimized for the chosen manufacturing process.

Decisions
Materials

Process + material selection

Select processes and materials that match performance targets and cost constraints: sheet metal, machining, plastics, composites, and hybrid builds.

Cost
BOM

Costed BOM development

Build a costed bill of materials direction and highlight cost drivers early—before quotes drift and scope changes multiply.

Supply
Strategy

Supplier strategy

Make/Buy decisions, supplier segmentation, and a path to prototype → pilot → production aligned to lead times and quality controls.

Prototype
Plan

Prototype build planning

Plan the build sequence, test points, and fixtures so the prototype answers the right questions with fewer loops.

Scale
Ramp

Production ramp readiness

Documentation, quality checkpoints, and packaging/handling considerations so pilot builds behave like production.
