﹡CNC Machining / SLA/SLS 3D Printing / Vacuum Casting.
﹡Cosmetic Surface Finishing (Anodizing, Painting, Texture Matching).
﹡Functional testing for investor demos or Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaign videos.
- Deliverable:Production-Grade Functional Prototype.
Step 3: EVT / DVT / PVT Hardware Validation (Weeks 3–7)
- Actions:
﹡EVT (10–50 units): Core functional verification & PCB integration.
﹡ DVT (50–200 units): Environmental, drop, IP67 waterproof & CE/FCC compliance testing.
﹡PVT (100–1,000 units): Pilot production run to optimize line speed, assembly jigs, and yield rate.
- Deliverable:Production Sign-Off & Tooling Approval.
Step 4: Bridge Production & Global Scaling (Week 8+)
- Actions:
﹡Rapid Bridge Tooling (Soft steel/Aluminum molds).
﹡Turnkey PCBA, Injection Molding, and Box-Build Assembly.
