We’re a lighting company and we want to be the first to manufacture these lights outside of China. I’m trying to simplify as much as possible, preferably I’d like to buy the parts and need as few machines as possible but i don’t know how much of the process i would truly need to bring in house. Here’s a few pictures but I’d like to start with what machines i would need and then figure out what parts would be needed to make it.
Hello @jeremiahchandler
I think you would need to start with identifying which pieces you are looking to buy and which pieces you are going to manufacture. Starting with the connector there is a different set of tools to assemble the connector housing and pins vs molding the actual connector housing itself. This would be similar if you are buying a housing for the leds vs molding a housing for leds or even buying leds vs manufacturing leds.

I am not an expert in the overall process. However, I would think nailing down the full list of things you would need to buy at which ever level of assembly would make a difference in the IDing of the machines that would bee needed.
I would expect also determining if you are going to make 1 overall item to start or several versions.
i.e. color and length
Would also affect this too.
Greetings,
Full product development is not a service we offer at DigiKey. I would suggest looking at our Design and Integrations Services network. They should be equipped to help you with this. Please keep in mind that these are 3rd party companies who provide these services and not DigiKey
