From a rough idea to a factory ready tech pack.
 |
I was looking at the process of turning a product idea into something a manufacturer can actually work with. Most ideas start simply, a sketch, a reference image, or a rough concept. The harder part is translating that into clear manufacturing documentation. Dimensions, material specs, construction details, BOMs getting those right is one thing. Making sure engineering, sourcing and manufacturing all interpret them the same way is where most of the back-and-forth actually happens. I put this idea together using AI to see how far it could take a rough concept. The output (shared in the pics) came back with dimensions, material specs, Pantone codes, construction details and component breakdowns, things that normally take a while to pull together manually. Having that structure ready meant I could focus more on reviewing and refining rather than building from scratch. I still went though everything manually before sharing but it got me to a reviewable draft a lot faster than starting from nothing. submitted by /u/Specific-Scarcity977 |
