# Open Manufacturing As a maker/designer/artist type person who designs products for manufacturing, there is a lot of labor lost to packaging parts when starting out on a small scale. Many people may be able to package 200 units which consists of 1-30 parts by hand, but as an ADHD brained person I just can't. I just daydream about automation and it breaks my flow. So I started working on it and as VDBX grows, I hope to continue documenting my findings. I've found that this is an excellent application for the FLIP\_C3 since we usually have a higher root voltage. ### Active prototypes and other dev work * An adjustable, multi port USB-C jig with panel ejector system. * Heavy modifications to commonly available *screw presenters* * Pin header dispensing or length cutting from bulk * Bagging and sealing * Dispensing and sorting * guitar picks, allen keys, screws, boards, etc * Low cost printing for value-add packaging --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
