Background

Validating a Kit on a Limited Budget

Evoskil has developed upgrade kits for ultralight aircraft since 2016. Bringing them to market meant validating the design with real parts, on funding that did not stretch to long prototype cycles.

Key challenges
Design Validation

The kits had to prove performance before the market launch.

Tooling spend had to stay near zero.

Some parts needed a black matte oxide finish to meet spec.

How the Kit Parts Were Machined

Prototype parts were machined directly from stock in aluminum and stainless, so the design could be validated without tooling.

Quote and Design Check

Quote and Design Check

Parts were quoted from the model and checked for machining risk.
