Hello. This is Chika from Machikoko staff. While visiting a sheet metal shop, I noticed something around me that made me think, "What's that...?""We can do it with sheet metal! We can do that too!" I've become addicted to searching for sheet metal fabrication services.
And just like that, a prototype!
A new addition was recently made to commemorate the achievement of 300%.Pettan Case。
Actually, this flat case,The mini BBQ we held the other dayWe've turned the feedback we received into reality!
I want to work with everyone to "turn ideas into reality" at the "Pettan Community" which will open next month.
I'm sharing this as a reference for you today!
At the BBQ...
"It's too hot to hold, but I wish I could move it." "I wish cleaning up the charcoal was a little smoother. A tray would make it easier." "I want a storage case!"
We received comments like that.
Okay, let's get started on developing a "tray that doubles as a case"!
This is where the developers of the Pettan Stove truly shine.
Normally, they operate as a "prototype sheet metal shop," taking on difficult orders that other companies would refuse and bringing them to life.
Once you've decided on the specific design!
↓ The item was finished in just 30 minutes from here ↓
I draw the diagram on my PC...
We'll use a laser to cut it into lines like this!
Sparks fly as the metal plate is cut with precision.
Then you bend the cut pieces. It seems simple, but it's difficult.
(▼A machine called a brake press. It bends materials beautifully by applying hundreds of tons of force.)
(▼These are the kinds of places where the Pettan stoves are made! We'll introduce them again later.)
And just 30 minutes later, the craftsman brought it to me saying, "It's done!"
"What should we name it?" "How about a Pettan Case?!"
And just like that, the "Pettan Case" was completed!
Normally, creating a prototype like this can take several days.
It's a product that goes through various specialists, such as designers, engineers, and shearing/bending specialists, but
Because they are craftsmen who possess the skills to handle everything from design and engineering to manufacturing.
We were able to create a prototype in just 30 minutes.
『Pettan CommunityIn this way, we introduce to manufacturing professionals
You can also turn your ideas into products by telling them, "I want camping gear like this!"
We would like to invite everyone who supported us through this crowdfunding campaign to join the Pettan Community.
Let's have a mini BBQ and make some camping gear together!
