    IDology #7 - Tips on outsourcing R&D and product design work

    Rafał Piłat and Anita Rogoża of Mindsailors discuss the strategic value of outsourcing Research and Development (R&D) to external design studios. They detail specific projects, including a medical catheter requiring manufacturing feasibility analysis and a mobile heart sensor where they redesigned a painful mounting mechanism for elderly patients. The conversation also covers bypassing existing patents for shower drainage systems and highlights failed R&D attempts, such as non-compliant plastic scaffolding planks, to illustrate the importance of clear briefs and regulatory awareness.

    444: It Is If You Do It Wrong

    Peter Griffin, a consultant at Slalom, discusses his journey into embedded systems and hardware design while building custom operant boxes and elevated zero mazes for his wife Gwen’s neuroscience lab. He details the mechanical engineering challenges of 3D printing, specifically dealing with tolerances and transitioning from Tinkercad to SolidWorks to ensure parts fit together reliably. Griffin also explains his strategy for making these devices accessible and reproducible through open-source designs and drop-shipping, while navigating the complexities of supply chain and manufacturing for non-standard components.

    Episode 165: Don’t let it beat you.

    Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss the challenges of collaboration, Bob's restoration of a power hammer, and David's experience filming a Ford-sponsored series for Vox. They critique the insular design processes of major tool manufacturers like DeWalt and Milwaukee, arguing that they fail to consult end-users early in the development cycle. The hosts also highlight Rust-Oleum's LED paint as a positive example of open innovation and reflect on the value of iterative prototyping in their own work.

    How Protolabs turns CAD files into parts in under 24 hours

    Marc Kermisch, CTO and AI Officer at Protolabs, explains how the company uses AI and simulation to turn CAD files into physical parts in under 24 hours across CNC machining, 3D printing, injection molding, and sheet metal. He details how ProDesk flags manufacturability issues like tight tolerances and ejector locations, while internal AI tools optimize print box placement and visual quality inspection. Kermisch also discusses the critical tradeoffs between prototyping and production, highlighting common design mistakes such as non-uniform wall thickness and missing draft angles that engineers must address before tooling.
