Being an Engineer · 17 Apr 2024 · 10m · Episode 15

What this episode covers

Ian McEachern, founder of the product design firm Nerdy Incorporating, discusses his upcoming presentation at the PDX Product Development Expo. He contrasts the manual, clay-modeling methods used for the Jarvik 2000 LVAD with modern workflows that integrate 3D printing, advanced simulation, and automated testing to drastically reduce development cycles. McEachern emphasizes the importance of engineers understanding the broader industry landscape and leveraging new tools to accelerate the transition from fuzzy requirements to finished hardware.

    163: 2023 Trends in Product Development for Hardware Products

    Brian Thompson, head of Creo CAD software for PTC, discusses three key 2023 product development trends for hardware startups: using design simulations earlier in the process, integrating design for manufacturing directly into CAD to avoid context switching, and leveraging additive manufacturing for short-run production. He explains how these tools reduce risk and cost by allowing designers to explore more alternatives and get real user feedback before committing to expensive tooling. The conversation highlights how software advancements make simulation and DFM accessible to non-experts, enabling faster iteration and better product quality.

    182: Consumer Product Hardware Trends in Mid 2023

    Brian Thompson, head of Creo CAD software at PTC, discusses how modern hardware companies are integrating simulation, additive manufacturing, and model-based definition directly into the core CAD environment to accelerate time-to-market. He explains that staying within a single native CAD model, such as Creo, eliminates context switching and data errors, allowing startups and enterprises to iterate rapidly from concept to production. The conversation highlights specific capabilities like ANSYS solvers for structural analysis and Oxetic lattices for energy absorption, which enable designers to validate performance and manufacturability without leaving the design tool. Thompson emphasizes that this unified approach de-risks product development by allowing teams to test with real customer feedback on short-run additive prototypes before committing to expensive full-scale tooling.

    122: Modern Methods for New Product Development

    John McEleney, Co-Founder and CEO of Onshape, explains how cloud-based 3D CAD software enables hardware startups to iterate faster and achieve product-market fit. He contrasts Onshape’s real-time collaboration and version control with legacy desktop systems like SolidWorks, highlighting how features like branching and FeatureScript reduce friction in the design process. McEleney emphasizes that modern tools allow teams to get prototypes into customer hands quickly to observe usage, rather than relying on static file exchanges. The discussion covers the shift from local installation to cloud-native platforms, enabling parallel workflows and agile product development for small teams and large enterprises alike.

    205: Advances in Electronic Product Engineering Methods

    Tomide Adesanmi, founder of Circuit Mind, explains how hardware startups are outpacing large corporations in electronics innovation by leveraging agile design processes and modern tools. He details the traditional electronic product development lifecycle, from requirements and component selection to schematic capture, PCB design, and multiple prototype iterations (EVT, DVT, PVT). Adesanmi highlights the archaic nature of legacy hardware engineering compared to software and introduces Circuit Mind’s platform, which uses deterministic algorithms to automate schematic generation and optimize designs for cost, power, and supply chain availability.

    164: The 3 Prototyping Phases for New Product Development

    Tim Uys, Head of Design at Mako Design + Invent, outlines the three critical phases of prototyping for hardware startups: mock, mechanical, and refined prototypes. He explains that starting with low-cost 3D printed mockups allows for rapid iteration of form and ergonomics, while mechanical prototypes use higher-fidelity methods like CNC machining to validate complex functions and material strength. Uys emphasizes that a final refined prototype is essential for securing manufacturing partners and investors, as it proves the product's viability and reduces the risk of costly errors during mass production.
