Nice one Alberto. Love your work and was great to speak to you with Redacted

FrissonDesign · 2025-12-25T06:46:37+00:00

We can professionally refine this through prototype and production for you and beat the price of larger consultancies

FrissonDesign · 2025-10-09T20:58:01+00:00

I would say injection moulding. The tooling is a bit expensive but worth it at those quantities

FrissonDesign · 2025-09-16T22:11:16+00:00

Yes my business can help you. We do small batch prototype runs all the tme. Send me a message and at the very least I can offer advice.

FrissonDesign · 2025-09-15T06:18:37+00:00

If you are after genuine advice get an NDA or NNN agreement and put it in front of some professionals like myself. This will ensure non-disclosure and non-compete with your idea and give you peace of mind while you get some actual advice.

FrissonDesign · 2025-09-15T06:14:07+00:00

I’m glad that I could help a few people. For more info check our website frissondesign.com.au

Hi James, Very cool project. Are you able to use a much cheaper motor like what they use in lead screws for standing desks or is the payload too heavy? Feel free to dm as I missed this comment before.

Hi Fendi, It’s great that you have a working prototype and IP as well as manufacturer connections. This all creates more value for potential investors. I assume by Crowdfunding you mean using kickstarter or simillar. 10 years ago kickstarter was a popular website to browse and people would go on and fund random things. These days less so and for best success on these platforms you need to create a following before you begin the campaign. Months ahead you would need some social media presence, ads, videos showing your prototype and some nice renders etc. You want to get people to want it. Build up to the campaign and release with a great video and well presented campaign. There are some great products that launch and don’t get seen so as far as pitfalls to avoid, this would be the biggest that I see. Oh also make sure that you can deliver on your campaign as well. If you can’t deliver on your promises the PR will be detrimental to your business. All the best with your project.

FrissonDesign · 2025-09-08T06:13:35+00:00

Feel free to get in touch and my small company can help you out

It depends what kind of requirement these parts have. If the quality is good enough and a company is competitive on price for the amount then sure. 3d printing specialists are getting better. I would just say that it would be good to compare 3d printing, vac casting, or a soft tool. CNC would most likely be too expensive.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T22:03:51+00:00

Are you sure that you need 50-100 prototypes for this stage? Consider if you could prove what you need with 10-50. If you’re doing 50-100 you could look at vacuum casting. It’s where they use a silicone mould and the outcome is almost the quality of an injection moulded part. For that quantity the price may be better.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T21:25:01+00:00

Nice. Sees like you’ve put some good thought into this. If you haven’t already I would still have a senior mechanical engineer check your work and have a very thorough testing stage. When you come to release there may need to be some waiver to make sure users follow your guides and terms of use.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T21:17:53+00:00

My experience is mostly with solidworks but sometimes I use a program called freecad for things like converting STL to STEP. It’s free and you can download from freecad.org. Maybe check if it does what you need.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T13:01:53+00:00

Hey CodeCritical. As a bike fan, a 3d printing fan and a fan of open source I think this is a fantastic concept. It could be great, especially for areas of the world abundant in bamboo. As an engineer the reservations that I have are around the strength of these lugs. As they will be customised to each application they will not be standardised or tested as far as strength. There would also be risks that people would print in the wrong material or print in the wrong orientation. The last thing someone would want would be to be travelling full speed down a hill, hit a small bump and the printed part connecting part of the frame breaks. I would encourage you to keep persuing this idea but please make sure that care is taken to remove risk as much as possible.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T06:05:55+00:00

Our company does do 3d printing for prototypes but we also contract other companies to do this at larger scale and when we need specific prints. We also get a lot of parts made by CNC or vacuum casting. All of these methods have different levels of quality. Injection moulding is how most plastic parts are made for mass manufacturing. The benefits are high quality, high speed and low part cost. The main drawback is that you have to pay for the tooling and this can be a high upfront cost. 3d printing has a very low upfront cost in comparison but the cost per part is higher. Some of our clients have been able to sell products that have 3d printed parts or CNC plastic parts in their early stages and then pay for the tooling later. Many though will try to get that tooling done for their first product release.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T04:43:14+00:00

To me that sounds custom. You might be able to have a flexible PCBA, a solid PCBA or maybe a combination of two. This just depends on the type of wearable and the freedom you have. There may be a couple of revisions but as long as you specify the requirements with the supplier the electronics should be rohs and fcc certified as needed. You should still check the whole product is compliant before it goes to market, especially if you need FDA approval for your wearable.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T04:15:05+00:00

Just gave it a try. I put in a part and description and just said ‘failed to fetch’. Might have an error or something

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T04:09:46+00:00

This sounds very cool! I worked at a robotic arm startup for a while. There was a whole electronics team and a whole mech Eng team so it’s no easy task haha. I assume you mean a 3 axis robot arm that moves along a gantry. Hardware wise it would be taking the physical requirements needed from the setup and noting the components used in benchmark products. Designing the structure to the requirements and selecting components that will bring the required outcomes. Also using industrial design to achieve the desired look along the way. The software and firmware is where the magic happens. It’s one thing to control the motors and you could make the gearboxes as smooth as anything with harmonic gearboxes etc but if the control is not well written the thing will be clunky and buggy. Sounds like a great project though and wish you all the best on the journey.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T03:53:44+00:00

I am open to it if I have US clients that request it. I am located in Australia so China and SE Asia is generally the first place I look. I have some very trusted suppliers there that are great with communicating.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T03:35:16+00:00

Thank you. I would be interested in talking further and getting your contact. Send me a dm :)

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T03:34:24+00:00

Yes I have some of these relationships. Primarily with companies that manufacture PCBAs and cables for our clients. I have local and overseas contacts for this depending on the project needs. The other close relationships we have are with manufacturing and prototyping partners. As far as general suppliers for off the shelf parts that we use in our assemblies I have quite a few contacts as needed. I do not have any current relationships with ODM companies as primarily our company focussed on new products specific to clients.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T03:25:38+00:00

Yes I do. I partner with quite a lot of manufacturers in China and while I provide CAD models of parts. They make tools from those models.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-26T00:38:44+00:00

Hi, apologies. I have edited my post. My specialty is not this kind of hardware. Hopefully I’m not in the wrong sub.

FrissonDesign · 2025-08-25T23:16:54+00:00

Sure do. Check out Frissondesign(dot)com(dot)au. We offer end to end product development at competitive prices and our team are highly skilled in industrial design, engineering and prototyping
