Ep. 38 - Taking Prototypes to Production

Open Hardware Manufacturing Podcast

In this episode of the OHM Podcast, We explore the critical phases of product development: Engineering Validation Test (EVT), Design Validation Test (DVT), and Production Validation Test (PVT). We discuss the importance of each phase in transforming a bare-bones concept into a market-ready product and emphasize the need for structured validation processes to ensure that products meet their intended specifications and can be effectively mass-produced.

Join us as we delve into:

• The significance of product validation and the role of the Product Requirement Document (PRD)
• The differences and objectives of EVT, DVT, and PVT
• How empirical testing and user feedback shape product development
• Insights into managing engineering teams and collaboration across disciplines
• Real-world examples from their experiences at Form Labs and Opulo
