Is it always cheaper to produce in China?

Image
China is known as the “World Factory” and has the most complete industrial chain. In Europe, we see more and more imported products that are made in China, relatively cheaply, with quality improving noticeably in the last few years. This is encouraging and as a result an increasing number of European companies are industrializing their products in China. Whilst this might be straightforward for an international company, who already have subsidiary branches in China with local Chinese employees, for startups and small companies, it’s altogether another matter. What makes it complicated? Often your entry point to the Chinese market will be via the web, most probably with a sales contact from Amazon, or AliExpress. Often therefore, you are dealing with import-export companies. For a business only dealing in mass production, or if your product is simple, an import-export company might be enough. However, if you need to do any  R&D , and  improve the existing products , then communicati

Find the most adapted fast prototyping method for your product

Image
Prototyping is a crucial step in product design. With the arrival of 3D printing, it materializes within hours.  First, you must choose the best  prototyping   method among the many (SLA, SLS, CNC, Silicone Mold etc). The dimension of your device, its geometric complexity and the mechanical resistance required, mean that different solutions are more or less well adapted. To help you decide here is our quick summary.  SLA  (Stereolithographic) 3D printing, or resin 3D printing, has become vastly popular for its ability to produce high-accuracy, isotropic, and watertight prototypes. It uses light-reactive thermoset materials called “resin”. SLS  (Selective Laser Sintering) is another 3D printing technology belonging to the Powder Bed Fusion family. It’s a bit more expensive than SLA. Nylon can be used and products have a better mechanical consistent property (solid and flexible). While 3D printing is well-known for its advantages in creating parts with high geometric complexity, it is of
