l Crowdfunding
and mold making
1. Crowdfunding
and mold making
For one product
concept, it is fast by thinking, it can be very cool through video’s
description with expansion. However,
when it goes to the product manufacturing process and manufacturing technology
stage, either its execution cost is too high, or its technology has not been
developed yet. In other words, normally
there is a difference in between the final finished product function and its
original design thinking
In addition, if one new project has obtained many support luckily, this
will bring some headache too, because there is a big difference when
manufacturing the first 10pcs and the first 1000pcs. It requires to invest more cost and evaluate
the mold production to see whether there will be sold or not to bring the
original investment money back.
2. The required cost after the
crowdfunding success
Firstly, it is development and manufacturing costs. Normally, most of the crowdfunding project
are all in actual object products. When
it is produced, it requires to make a new mold, controlling the inventory,
sometimes, it needs to modify the mold, only then, it can obtain its expectable
product result. If calculating together
with the team R&D invested time and cost in it, its final cost normally is
horrible to people !
Truly speaking, if one wants to make money, to write a program will be faster. It will be done by one computer. However, if it is related with hardware, it
will have many costs. This is also the reason why not to use the project only
one time. If one mold manufactures only one time, its unit cost will be very…very
high. A reasonable management thinking
should be in many times of using mold to split up the mold cost.
However, crowdfunding only solves the first pre-purchasing for one new
product. The rest remains too many
things that the crowdfunding has no way or no channel to solve the entire issue
completely.
So, if the crowdfunding team (majorly for product designer) has no manufacturing experience themselves, they
should seek one professional mold making factory for their assistance, in order
to analysis and evaluate the possible problems they might face in the future
when the project goes to the manufacturing stage. A professional mold making factory like Intertech can efficiently help such
crowdfunding team product designer to solve all their developing problems and
to reduce all the product development failure rate.
