One of my favorite questions during product development is:
"Can this be assembled faster?"
Reducing unnecessary parts and simplifying assembly improves quality while lowering manufacturing costs.
Simple assemblies usually create better products.

Every great product starts with a simple idea, but turning that idea into something manufacturers can actually produce is where the real challenge begins.
Good product design isn't just about appearance—it's about balancing function, cost, durability, and manufacturability from day one.
A well-designed product saves money before production even starts.

One of the biggest mistakes I see in hardware development is designing without considering manufacturing.
Beautiful CAD models are great, but if they can't be manufactured efficiently, they're only concepts.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) should be part of every design decision.

A successful consumer product combines three things:
✓ Great user experience
✓ Reliable engineering
✓ Manufacturing efficiency
Miss one of these, and the product will struggle in the market.
