New Product Development Tools

This blog is written by a member of our blogging community and expresses that member's views alone.

According to Don Debelak in his book, How to Bring a Product  To Market for Less Than $5,000,  a product can be developed by "taking apart existing products and use their parts to  make a new product."  Well, that statement will be the underlining theme for this blog, as I explore prototyping techniques and tools for the inspiring Inventor or Tech Entrepreneur. The New Product Development Process will be explored via actual product development techniques using off the shelf materials or using the good ole junk box. The motivation behind this blog is inspire the Inventor and Tech Entrepreneur in exploring their ideas by building working models. To help in this motivational arena, I'll present actual case studies of products I'm creating for wireless embedded controls for the robotics hobbyist market. www.family-science.net
