Agile Hardware

You've probably heard the old adage, "hardware is hard." In this episode we dive into the process of hardware design, from agile vs. waterfall methods, to molds and tooling (soft vs. hard), to the use of additive manufacturing techniques, to the power of generative design, to the benefits of fabricating locally, to virtual prototype testing using VR.
