Posted on by Andrew
When you have a new product designed, the process of designing it and manufacturing it often go hand in hand. But how much can you rely on the two parts of the process being completed together? Will it be more beneficial for you to approach design and manufacturing as separate processes or one complete process? It will usually depend on the product design company you work with and what their usual process is. It will also depend on their facilities and how much they are able to do on the site.

To solve issues around the outlet getting clogged with water (which can not only damage the power circuits but also cause harm to users), they need to be protected from any moisture. There are a few methods for this. Some outlets will be locked away in a box which... Read More »
