Crescent's expertise in injection molding and comprehensive manufacturing capabilities made them a compelling choice. According to Alexi Harlambidis, CEO and Co-founder of Lifeware Labs, "I think one of the main reasons we went with Crescent is we got the sense early on that Crescent would at least help answer some of the questions we didn't even know to ask. And that's huge when you're a small startup."

The customer was excited about a captivating 3D prototype, yet they faced a critical challenge ahead. The intricacies of assembly and the delicate electronics nestled within their design posed a hurdle they couldn't tackle alone. Determined to bring their vision to life on a larger scale, they sought a partner who could provide expert design-for-manufacturing support.

Crescent's ability to provide foresight for assembly design and markings to accommodate the electronics inside the part made the transition to production and assembly smoother.

 The DFM process was particularly helpful, as Crescent's team explained the reasoning behind each design choice, giving Lifeware Labs valuable insights into designs for function and manufacturing.

This was a benefit to the customer to provide a "one-stop-shop" and simplify their supply chain and feel confident that in production the assembly and manufacturing would be smooth and easier with the electronics.

Once the mold design receives approval, Crescent expertly handles the construction of the injection mold. Our team is committed to maintaining close collaboration with our customer, ensuring seamless preparation for production upon the tool's completion.

Alexi Harlambidis emphasized the importance of the human aspect of this partnership, saying, "Life is more enjoyable when you're working with people that you like to work with. The human aspect of it, I think can't be understated because you spend a lot of time with them. It's invaluable to me."
