Key points in designing your project

Mechanical and electronic design is the first major step in your product journey. It leads on to prototyping, industrialization and production. In this guide, you’ll discover 17 key points for designing your connected object.

The challenges of mechanical and electronic design

In this guide, our experts have put together the essentials for understanding the challenges of mechanical and electronic design.
In particular, you’ll find answers to the following questions:

What does mechanical and electronic design involve?
What is Design For Manufacturing (DFM)?
What are the different materials and manufacturing processes?
What are the different assembly processes?
What is a PCBA made of and how is it designed?
How do you determine the right radio protocol for your needs?
Food and autonomy, what’s the right choice?
What is firmware?
And other advice on qualification issues, design deliverables and eco-design.

Mechanical and electronic design, an essential step

The aim of electronic and mechanical design is to validate technological choices and design the hardware aspects.
It generally starts from a blank page, a design or a proof of concept (or POC proof of concept). Whatever the initial format, you will need to draw up your list of specifications, enabling you to understand the use of the product, its market and the technological choices made.
This list can be drawn up with your industrial partner or by yourself (but challenged by the industrial partner).
It’s the starting point for your development.
