4 +5 | large scale manufacture not merely fabrication |

large scale manufacture not merely fabrication Explanation: The fabrication of a machine from a design is different than the industrial application of that fabrication. It is the process of going from a physical prototype (the fabrication of a machine from a prototype) to large scale production that is industrialization. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2014-10-23 12:57:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here is a useful example from a commercial website: Coming up with a great idea for a product, building different prototypes and producing a small series are all different to producing a product in high volume. When the numbers go up, the drive for reliability goes up as well. Philips Innovation Services provides a full spectrum of industrialization services that can cover every step from prototype and low volume production to high volume manufacturing with Industrialization scenarios & concept - See more at: http://www.innovationservices.philips.com/service-catalog/se... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2014-10-23 12:59:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another similar example: "Effective Prototyping and Industrialization Unlike most rapid prototyping houses, AMTI has in-house design and industrial engineering assets with years of experience bringing new products through the New Product Introduction process. This direct experience provides peace of mind and brings new opportunities to save costs on larger production volumes." http://www.advmanufacturing.com/index.php?option=com_content... |
