Vizeng Hardware Design Blog
Welcome to the Vizeng Hardware Design Blog — a collection of detailed engineering and manufacturing insights. Explore our guides, how-tos, design studies, and case studies covering everything from 3D CAD modeling and injection molding to BOM management and full product launches like Vizlapse.
Introductions
Our introductions are the most basic of our posts. We take a look at basic technical aspects of design and break it down for non-technical consumption.
2D Drawings
3D CAD
3D Scanning
Overviews
Our overviews take a high-level look at larger aspects of product design. These posts are meant to have enough technical information to be useful to engineers, but also to be broad enough to appeal to project managers or those interested in learning more about hardware.
3D Printing
BOMs and BOM Management
EVT, DVT, PVT, and MP
Hardware Acronyms
Hardware Product Development
Item Numbering
Manufacturing Options
Parts Sourcing
How-Tos
The how-to posts are written for the hardware engineers out there. We dig deep into details to help you through design issues.

O-Ring Groove Design
Plastic Injection Molding
Design Studies
Our design studies pull back the curtain on early-stage product development — the creative problem-solving, iteration, and technical exploration that happen before production planning begins.
These posts focus on how ideas take shape: sketching, CAD modeling, and prototyping decisions that define a product’s form and function before costs and manufacturing enter the picture.

Case Studies
Our case studies highlight products that have made it through the full design-to-production process.
Each one showcases how engineering, manufacturing, and supply-chain planning come together to bring real products to market — from prototype validation to tooling, cost optimization, and final launch.
