A prototype proves a question. Production must repeat the answer. QuoteFlow3D structures the handoff around revision control, sample acceptance, pilot learning, quality points, packaging, and the next expected volume.
Frequently asked questions
What changes between prototype and production?
Production adds repeatability, revision control, approved references, inspection, handling, packaging, delivery, and repeat-order planning.
How large should the pilot batch be?
It depends on what the pilot must validate. Include test, assembly, market, and packaging goals so the quantity can be reviewed.
Can the same file be reused for production?
Possibly, but the production orientation, material, finish, tolerances, and acceptance criteria still require review.
When should tooling be considered?
Revisit tooling when the design is stable, variation is low, and expected volume can absorb tooling cost and inventory risk.
