Why you need a "Design Guide" to manufacture a product! Eric Strebel

Creating a Design Guide for Manufacturing a Backpack sheet metal product.

This weeks video is something that nobody ever really talks about in the Industrial design world….
The “Design Guide”….What happens after the initial design work is done??
How do you get your design prototyped? and ultimately manufactured…?
You know the in’s and out's of your product, but your the only one…How do you convey this information to someone or a team of people that are new to your product??
You need to create a package of information that can be handed off and reviewed by others to quickly understand what you want to me made and to your specifications.
A good design package will get you a quote quicker and to production faster.
I cover the steps of creating what is needed to get the "Backpack Hanger" quoted for prototyping and production.
Honestly, it’s probably the least enjoyable part of being an Industrial designer for me. It’s a huge amount of work to reach out and find a manufacturer and then sort through the data of quotes and numbers. It is however part of what an indepent designer is sometimes required to do to see your vision become a reality.
I cover how I create the various documents that make up the design guide, that gets shipped out to manufacturers to quote the project.
I also cover how I use an online tool called mfg.com to help me find a possible manufacturer.

This is part of the Industrial design product development process that you would go though to develop a new consumer product.
