"Right behind the camera is the guy who designed this part and the entire jig".
This really important to understand! Engineers can't design good hardware products entirely from a cozy cubicle. It's necessary to intimately understand how the parts are made and assembled. The notion of putting design and manufacturing an ocean apart is madness. It's probably why my "Designed by Kitchenaid, St. Joseph Michigan USA" electric kettle keeps breaking under warranty.
- robomartin 1y agoManufacturing engineering is just as important as the design and engineering of the product itself. While one can --and many do-- design products away from where they will be manufactured, for anything that isn't trivial there's a need to make a serious investment of time and resources at the factory. Quality, durability and reliability derive from the entire process, not just design.
