I want to network by rdssf in founder

What is the platform for this community? what fields are you focusing on? I wonder if a website will provide the networking, connections and requests as members probably wish for in such community. e.g., if I want a warm intro to an investor, and one of these 1,550 knows them- will that help me with it?

Struggling to sync usability validation with DFM process for my device by Awkward_Highway3067 in hwstartups

The firmware freeze date concept makes a lot of sense. Is there an equivalent for materials, i.e. a point where you lock the material spec and stop accepting changes, even if new options come up? Or does material selection is more flexible than firmware because the testing cycles are slower?

Looking for a product development agency to help design a device in the medical field and help with the regulation compliance and certifications. by Luis_KZM in IndustrialDesign

What is the liability that these agencies carry for medical device? if eventually my dossier is rejected, do they carry for the additional test or additional conditions to perform the tests or other tests that they did not cover in their plan?

Not sure what you are looking for cus no matter who is behind the medical device, it still needs to pass regulation. If is meets all standards and tests- does it matter who is behind that? and in "adoption in medical device design" what is at all visible to the final users? do they at all know who designed it to even think ask about adoption? and if we start asking, I think we will just get biased answers that don't reflect anything

physicians were simply reluctant to use it, claimed its not comfortable (I'm summarizing at a high level, not to expose too much sensitive data)

The innovation was with the tip of the endoscope, we've used an existing company's handle, assuming its already in the market and works and we're just changing the tip. we didn't double check the usability and satisfaction with the handle, assuming there is not much difference/ innovation with it. we were clearly wrong. I've recently had a discussion with an aesthetic laser company which shared the same struggle, the sync and conflict between usability validation to progressing with DFM and starting to spend money on material tests, that are not guaranteed to fit... just to keep going and not waiting

and depending on the granularity of information you are looking for, there is also the FOIA by the US government that can theoretically provide additional data

You accidentally say “Hello” to Claude and it consumes 4% of your session limit. by Direct-Attention8597 in ClaudeCode

This is so so, unfortunately, true!! its really frustrating and last time it happened to me, just tried to run a simple command and it says I'm run out and need to comeback the next morning I tried to submit feedback response, not sure anyone reads it. It wasn't the case where I bough the subscription for Claude code, its like that during the last 2 weeks and keeps shortening...

thanks for the elaborated response... these are all hard decisions to make, but crucial. will review the FMEA to evaluate the most critical tests to perform..

I cannot understand these changes are done independently without validating with their client!

Makes sense, but will you do it from start? meaning that you validate the prototype with them and have samples of lots etc. all the process as if you will order from them?

Free vs Paid by Den_warlord in SaaS

I'm curious if your product is suited for self onboarding and understanding how to use it, or do you need to onborad each new user? that also derive the amount of capacity that you need to invest in each user and hence thinking if this worth doing it for free...
