From startups to industry leaders, teams are redefining what’s possible in hardware development. This month, we’re sharing a real-world success story from Fictiv, highlights from the Build Better Conference, and exciting news about the next edition of Agile Hardware Product Realization.
Build Better 2025
We are still energized by the Build Better 2025 conference hosted by Instrumental Inc. A big thanks to Anna-Katrina Shedletsky and everyone who helped organize such a dynamic, well-run event!
The day at the USS Hornet Sea, Air and Space Museum was packed with engaging panel discussions on fresh perspectives on scaling development and manufacturing, the bottlenecks in AI compute, and data transparency between OEMs and CMs.
Enjoyed a photo in front of the Luner landing capsule with Product Realization Group partners Alek Tyszka from Instrumental and Heatherly Bucher from Arena by PTC. Always great to meet in person to discuss ways we can help companies bring better products to market, faster.
From Prototype Powerhouse to Production Player
Fictiv built its name on speed — delivering high-quality prototypes faster than anyone else. But as new clients came knocking for volume production and complex mechanical assemblies, the company faced a pivotal moment: evolve its systems and processes or risk slowing down its momentum. With a hard go-live date of June 2025 and three major customers ready to launch, Fictiv set out to transform its operations — fast.
Agile Hardware Gets an AI Upgrade
What happens when AI meets Agile? The new edition of Agile Hardware explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the way teams design, build, and scale physical products. The updated book is coming soon — and it’s packed with fresh case studies and practical tools for the next generation of innovators.
Got a complex product or supply chain challenge? Let’s talk — our experts are here to help you build better, faster, and with confidence.
