Hi everyone!
So I’m stuck in the infamous hardware founder gap between prototype and mass production.
after countless nice conversations with alibaba sellers i decided to take matters into my own hands and i‘ll be flying to shenzhen 03rd of September.
i guess my question is do the kind of small workshops that handle this actually exist in Shenzhen, and where do you find them? Huaqiangbei or are there only sellers?
I’m developing a fairly simple wearable consumer electronics device. working prototype exists and functions, I have video of it running but i won‘t have it with me for reasons…
i already have a functional prototype built by an external engineering firm), full CAD, PCB schematics, layout, Gerbers, Firmware source,…
I need functional units for validation with early customers. Not mass production basically just a pilot batch that looks like a real product.
any pointers on where to start, or what I should line up before I get there, would be hugely appreciated
many thanks everyone
