It is quite humbling when you find out that no matter how much thought you put into something, the outcome is almost never as good as you first imagined it. Thanks for sharing a bit of your process. Charles
These videos are so cool. As a fellow design engineer who does mechanical and electromechanical product development, this is amazing content to watch and learn from. I design metal machined parts, as well as injection and compression molded thermoplastic and thermoset parts, which makes your design series so interesting to watch. Coupled with the great production value, I love it. Keep up the great work! 👏
@@elementengineering Absolutely! I’d love to see any other technical information about the journey of bringing the product to life. I think you mentioned FEA’s in one of the videos; I’d love to see details on that aspect, especially if the FEAs were on the LSR parts, and how you were able to optimize the ‘snap fit’ of the LSR part into the mating housing. I also enjoyed the explanation of how you had to modify the design when you went from 3DP mold inserts to machined AL, since some of the geometry could not be machined. I love the details on the BabyPlast machine; we run 60T-180T Engels at my company, and I wasn’t aware there were small machines like the BabyPlast that make injection molding much more accessible to companies that can’t afford huge capital expenditures. There’s the technical aspects that I enjoy watching and have also learned from, but also there’s the ‘journey’ of iterating designs to completion, and sharing your journey through the successes and failures is really entertaining and relatable for someone who lives those experiences daily.
Love this video series of developing your own internal LSR prototyping solution literally from scratch. I endeavored in a similar pursuit and your team is doing amazing! Excited to continue watching your journey!

Thanks Charles! It always takes quite a few iterations to get there in the end.

Thank you! Is there anything in particular you are interested in seeing more of?
