Nick Sayer: DFM: Building 10^n isn't the same as building one



 A little detail from Hackaday, and why building a one off is a little easier than a thousand.

Not the same.

But like he said, the key is prototyping.

Before going into production, you want to assemble progressively larger batches of parts, with feedback from production at each iteration.

Hopefully with each refinement/iteration there is some sort of convergence going on...

The idea is also to debug/tune the production tooling jigs, and not only to refine the product design.

It really doesn't hurt either to let someone else to assemble and test few boards as well.
