Fictiv Launches Hybrid Injection Molding for OEMs

After years of searching for a manufacturer willing to tackle the complex prototyping, injection molding, and commercial production of her one-of-a-kind dry shampoo product, Michelle Kim, founder of m'Chel, discovered Fictiv. Not only did Fictiv step up to the challenge of this program where others wouldn't, but Fictiv accelerated time-to-market for Kim significantly and helped get the product to market in just one year—well ahead of schedule."Regardless of what facet of the project we were working on—prototyping, tooling, finishing—I had confidence in Fictiv's expertise and knew I was in good hands," said Kim.Through its global manufacturing network, best-in-class supply chain, and operations teams, supported by Fictiv's AI-powered technology platform, they provided m'Chel with virtually unlimited manufacturing capacity across a wide range of capabilities and ongoing design for manufacturability, program management, and logistics support.According to Kim, "I went from constantly fighting through manufacturing roadblocks to working with an incredible team who made quality manufacturing a reality." Furthermore, "Fictiv handled everything I normally would have had to do myself, including identifying the right suppliers, sourcing and then manufacturing each part, as well as all the logistics and shipping details."The patented Day After Brush was produced using Fictiv's market-leading capabilities, including injection molding, overmolding, compression molding, ultrasonic welding, 3D printing, product validation, screen printing, bristle grafting, and design for manufacturability guidance."Fictiv simplified the manufacturing process and eliminated many of the barriers I experienced with other manufacturers," said Kim. "Fictiv explained their capabilities and showed me my options, including how to make my product more cost-effective.""Most factories require minimum order quantities of 10,000 to 100,000 units during low-volume production," said Andy Richardson, VP of Business Development at Fictiv. "That's a large commitment for a new company looking to enter the market. At Fictiv, we don't put those types of restrictions on our customers. We focus on simplifying their full journey from prototyping to production."By partnering with Fictiv, customers of all sizes can access a Fortune 500-class supply chain, complete with extensive capabilities, hands-on quality management and guided expertise, and a best-in-class technology platform for quoting, DFM, and order tracking to accelerate innovation.To learn more about m'Chel's manufacturing success with Fictiv, read the full story here .About FictivFictiv is a global manufacturing company that simplifies sourcing for custom manufacturing, from prototype to low-volume production

In the rapidly evolving landscape of robotics, a new frontier is emerging that promises to reshape our understanding of the field: soft robotics. This innovative approach is making strides thanks to cutting-edge additive manufacturing techniques.In this article, we explore the realm of soft robotics and examine how recent advancements in additive manufacturing are propelling this technology forward.What is Soft-Robotics?Soft robotics attempts to introduce technologies that more closely resemble the physical characteristics of living organisms, replacing the stiff movements we associate with robots. Considered a form of biomimicry where the conventional linear and stilted features of robotics move away to make place for sophisticated models, soft robotics imitate human, animal, and plant life.Researchers estimate the soft robotics market to become a significantly large opportunity in the future, with its market size growing from more than US$770 million in 2022 to nearly US$22 billion by 2030. It would mean a phenomenal growth of close to 75% CAGR.According to Harvard Biodesign Lab, which helps understand the technology of soft robotics as fluidic actuators having elastomeric matrices with embedded flexible materials like cloth, paper, fiber, and particles, soft robotics is to become popular for their lightweight, affordability, and easy customizability to a given application.Some Applications of Soft RoboticsHarvard Biodesign Lab estimates there to be four million chronic stroke survivors with hemiparesis in the US today and another six million in other developed countries globally. These survivors often lose the motor abilities of their hands. Soft Robotics may help them address this challenge by helping to develop a modular, safe, portable, consumable, at-home hand rehabilitation and assistive device.In the United States, the lifetime risk of developing heart failure is close to 20%

Hands Like A Human: New Additive Manufacturing Helps Soft Robotics Go Real

Fictiv Expands Its Global Manufacturing Network Into Mexico

President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to hit imports from China, Canada and Mexico with tariffs could deal a blow to companies across North America and trigger negative consequences for the global supply chain, according to experts.Trump said that on his first day back in office on Jan. 20, he will impose 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. The tariffs are aimed at pressuring those countries to stop drugs and illegal migrants from crossing into the U.S., Trump posted on Truth Social on Nov. 25. He has also said he’ll impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports to fight drugs coming from that country.Sri Laxmana, vice president of Americas at freight broker and 3PL giant C.H. Robinson, said the company began hearing from concerned customers as soon as Trump made the announcement.“We’ve been pulled into countless customer meetings to run risk scenarios for if Canada and Mexico tariffs were implemented,” Laxmana told FreightWaves in an email
