Abstract

Design to make licensing and launch easy

  • Sometimes the most innovative or elegant solution isn’t the best one
  • The less you have to prove, the better
  • Don’t use novel materials
  • Don’t use novel methods

Example: 3D printing is cool and reduces part count because you can design otherwise unmachinable parts

  • Now you have to test, analyze, and prove to everyone that your part won’t fail
  • If you machined the parts from AL 6061-T6 and bolted them together with stainless steel fasteners, nobody would have looked twice
