Ideas ➡️ Products: Physical Product Development Workshop (STL Startup Week)

Join us for an interactive workshop that outlines the journey of physical product development. Whether you're an entrepreneur or engineer, you'll learn about the key stages of development that turn ideas into real, market-ready products: ideation, design validation, research and development (R&D), prototyping, and manufacturing. This 60 minute workshop will focus on iterative development during the R&D and prototyping phases, showing you how to rapidly test and refine your designs to create better products.
If you're ready to venture boldly into the exciting world of physical product development, we’d love to have you! For maximum impact, bring a sketch, idea or prototype of a potential product to keep in mind as you learn. There may also be opportunities for brief sharing within the group.

Josh Adams is a passionate entrepreneurial engineer with over a decade of experience in product development and prototyping. As owner and principal engineer of Prototyping Tech, Josh collaborates with companies of all sizes to translate their designs into functional prototypes and production parts, particularly in the medical field. His expertise spans computer aided design (CAD) and advanced manufacturing processes like additive manufacturing (3D printing), urethane and silicone casting, CNC machining, and injection molding.
Informed by degrees in Manufacturing Systems Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, Josh has built a career at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and medical device innovation. In addition to his design engineering work, he recently created and taught the course “Additive Manufacturing” at Saint Louis University’s School of Science and Engineering.
Currently, Josh is embarking on a year-long challenge to design and launch one new product every month. He is eager to connect with fellow innovators who share a love for product design, engineering, and the excitement of startups.
