In today’s rapidly changing manufacturing environment, engineers are constantly trying to find their way through a very complex ecosystem to gain a competitive advantage and leverage the right tools to build their next product. Just last month, we hosted an event where a Abby Soong, a Mechanical Design Engineer at动量机器, said that her college textbook was still the best resource she had for producing better mechanisms—wow!
那么如何新的，渴望生成的工程师，设计师和企业家在第一天建立更好的硬件？资深工程师如何了解新兴的先进技术，可以显着提高工作流程，从而创造竞争优势？
介绍FICTIV硬件指南
今天，我们很高兴宣布我们的Hardware Guide作为制造知识的过程中的第一步。
“硬件指南”是战略原型方法中的硬件社区最佳文章的集合，业内退伍军人的硬件开发课程和专家制造见解。
我们在硬件开发周期中六个主要阶段组织了指南：研发（研发），计划，设计，制造，组装和测试。这些阶段并不总是线性的，实际上最常是周期性，直到产品完全精制。我们认为，如果在这些领域花费充足的考虑，则在硬件开发过程中会出现更少的挑战（和成本）。从如何建立一个bomto装配设计的基本面, to大规模生产硬件测试, the articles in the guide address specific challenges across the hardware development process, each with actionable steps.
Of course, we recognize that to learn about a very physical process like manufacturing, you cannot learn everything from a website. You have to touch and experience it in real life, as well. That’s why we view the Hardware Guide as a piece of a much larger puzzle, and that by building piece by piece, we can start to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
参与其中：帮助使知识访问和自由
Huge strides have been made in open source education to contribution of software development, and it’s time to do the same in hardware and manufacturing. In our vision for the community, manufacturing knowledge is not siloed and dependent on your relationships. It’s available for all. It’s decodifying jargon, so it’s easily understandable. It’s documenting expert knowledge that has never been documented before. It’s a living system that will expand and adapt as the industry evolves—that’s the power of open source—and we wouldn’t be here without the contribution of the community!
At Fictiv, we want to democratize hardware development. We believe that better access isn’t just about leveraging idle manufacturing machines—it’s also about gaining knowledge about how to best use these tools to build better physical products.
硬件指南只是该愿景的第一步，这是整个硬件生态系统的协作旅程的开始。我们需要您的帮助来记录一下封闭门后的所有专业知识。如果您是硬件公司，工程师，制造专家或具有知识或建议的爱好者，我们要求您加入我们的追求，通过分享您的故事来分解硬件开发的障碍。我们可以在一起，可以在市场上建立更好的自定义产品生态系统，解决真正的用户问题的技术，最终构建更好的物理产品。
我希望你能加入我们前方的道路！我们希望您将与您的朋友和同事分享指南让我们知道what information you’d like to see included as it grows.
