Turning an electronics design into something that can be built to scale is one of the hardest challenges startups face. In our latest blog, Val Lynch, Founder and Chairman of ANDtr, breaks down Design for Manufacture (DFM) - what it really means, why it matters, and how to get it right from day one. 💡 You’ll learn: - The core principles of DFM for electronics startups - How to simplify designs for assembly and testability - Common mistakes that kill yield and drive up costs - Practical steps to validate your design and process - How The Embedded Accelerator helps startups de-risk production Read the guide here: https://lnkd.in/dKp2QvVA

🗞️Electronics Weekly has covered the news that applications for The Embedded Accelerator are now open (deadline 17th November). If you’re building a next-gen electronics product and want to bridge the gap from prototype to production, this is for you. Get: - Access to pro-grade prototyping and lab facilities - Specialist manufacturing and test-process support - A network of mentors, supply-chain introductions & manufacturing partnerships - Tailored workshops from experts in their field, including business, marketing, DFM and more 📌 Why this matters: Electronic hardware startups often get stuck at “we built a prototype”, but the real challenge is producing it at scale reliably and cost-effectively. This programme helps address exactly that.

Meet our mentors. For embedded hardware startups – where design, compliance, and manufacturing risks are high – the right mentor can be a golden ticket to scaling successfully. The mentors supporting The Embedded Accelerator come from across the electronics, manufacturing, business, and research landscape. They’ve been in the trenches, building products, scaling companies, and navigating regulatory hurdles. Applications for The Embedded Accelerator open soon – watch this space. In the meantime, you can read our blog all about the fantastic mentors supporting our 12-week programme 👇 https://lnkd.in/eEc4yT55 Nicola Wheeler-Thorn Val Lynch David Whale sylvia perrins Dave Wallace Stacey Cockram David Fagan Sally Brazier Peter Whale

In the 1970s, electronics innovators used wooden breadboards to mount components and test circuits. Today’s breadboards have evolved to support fast, low-cost prototyping for education and engineering. They remain one of the most important steps a startup can take to build a product that scales. Our latest guide by Val Lynch breaks down: 🔌 What breadboards are and why they matter 🚫 Common mistakes that cost startups time and money 🥧 The difference between Raspberry Pi and breadboarding 📈 How to transition from breadboard to production-ready design A breadboard is a learning tool that helps you test assumptions, uncover design flaws, and refine architecture. At The Embedded Accelerator, we provide hands-on breadboarding support to do exactly that, along with everything that follows. You can expect matched prototype funding, lab access, DFM expertise, and expert mentoring.

If you're building an electronics product, rapid prototyping is how you validate, iterate, and ultimately prove how your idea will succeed in the real world. In our new guide by Nicola Wheeler-Thorn, we explain:  Why rapid prototyping is essential – you learn fast, save money, and boost investor readiness. Techniques every embedded startup should know, from breadboarding to 3D printing. Common traps to avoid like over-engineering, skipping regulatory planning, and poor component strategy. How a specialist embedded accelerator can bridge the gap between proof-of-concept and a manufacturable product. 💡 Our top takeaway: Prototype early, but prototype smart. It’s all about learning what works (and what doesn’t) so you can build a product that scales – something ANDTr can help you with.
