For Design engineers + product development teams
New Product Launch? De-Risk Your Component Sourcing.
Launching a new product is already high-risk. Your component suppliers shouldn't add to that risk. SB5's sample-first model gives your engineering team room to iterate on specs before committing to production tooling.
Sound Familiar?
Common Symptoms We Hear
- Uncertain final specs during design iteration
- Need for prototype quantities before production
- Unfamiliar supplier risk during launch window
- Tight launch deadlines leave no room for quality surprises
- CAD files changing as design evolves
Designed for design iteration
Your specs will change as your new product moves through prototype, alpha, and beta. That's normal. SB5's workflow is built for it: send us your latest CAD file, we quote it, we make samples, you test them. Specs change? Send the updated CAD, we revise the sample. No new tooling charges, no project restart fees.
Prototype to production in one supplier
A lot of suppliers won't take prototype volume because it isn't profitable. We see prototypes as the first step of a long-term production relationship. If the product launches successfully, we're already set up to scale with you - approved samples, tooling configured, production capacity reserved.
- Prototype-friendly minimum order quantities
- Same engineering team from prototype through production
- Fast sample turnaround for design iteration cycles
- Production scaling without re-qualifying supplier
Launch-timeline-aware lead times
If your launch window is tight, we offer expedited production to meet critical deadlines. Standard 65-90 day initial production can be compressed when your launch demands it. Tell us your target launch date upfront and we'll work backward to make it happen.
Send your CAD files. We'll sample-first your whole launch.
Drop your CAD files and target launch date. We'll quote each part, map a prototype-to-production roadmap against your milestones, and ship verification samples to your engineering team before any tooling commits.
