硬件研发社区已大量投资于促进电子设备设计和原型制作的工具和材料。众多易于访问和易于使用的工具简化了专家的交互式和嵌入式设备的原型制作，并导致了非专家建造者的显着增长。但是，几乎没有探索与超越原型并创建数百或数千个精确副本相关的挑战，这对于许多人来说仍然具有挑战性。我们采访了25个人，具有将原型硬件设备的经验带入低批量生产的经验。我们系统地研究了所面临的常见问题和采用的缓解策略。我们分别介绍了四个主要类别的发现：（1）技术知识的差距； （2）非技术知识的差距； （3）制造准备中的最低可行的严格性； （4）建立关系和专业网络。我们的研究发现了新工具和流程的几个机会，以支持超越工作原型的过渡，以有效地有效的低量制造业。这些将补充上述支持设计和原型制作的工具和材料。
The hardware research and development communities have invested heavily in tools and materials that facilitate the design and prototyping of electronic devices. Numerous easy-to-access and easy-to-use tools have streamlined the prototyping of interactive and embedded devices for experts and led to a remarkable growth in non-expert builders. However, there has been little exploration of challenges associated with moving beyond a prototype and creating hundreds or thousands of exact replicas - a process that is still challenging for many. We interviewed 25 individuals with experience taking prototype hardware devices into low volume production. We systematically investigated the common issues faced and mitigation strategies adopted. We present our findings in four main categories: (1) gaps in technical knowledge; (2) gaps in non-technical knowledge; (3) minimum viable rigor in manufacturing preparation; and (4) building relationships and a professional network. Our study unearthed several opportunities for new tools and processes to support the transition beyond a working prototype to cost effective low-volume manufacturing. These would complement the aforementioned tools and materials that support design and prototyping.
