How does Beatime take your idea and turn it into earbuds?
Here we going to give you a step-by-step roadmap that will help you take your vision to producing your own successful earbuds businesses. If you follow these steps, you will have covered all of the key things you need to do to have a sustainable and competitive brand:
Phase 1: Before Prototype
At this stage, the initial steps focus on turning your idea into a tangible product. Here’s how we can help you move forward:
Inquiry Process
To receive our response more efficiently, we recommend providing as many details as possible about your requested product. This includes:
- Product Name
- Expected Functions
- 2D/3D Drawings/Sketches with technical data
- Sample Pictures (if available)
By including this detailed information, you can ensure a quicker and more accurate response from our team. We’re always reachable through various communication channels: emails, phones, WhatsApp, WeChat, or Skype.
Product Modeling and Design
Once we have your detailed inqiury, our 3D engineers will begin working on the product models.
In certain cases, we may create a 3D full-scale mockup of your earbuds using advanced 3D printing technology. This offers several advantages:
- Faster Iterations: 3D mockups help speed up the product development process by allowing quick visualizations and adjustments.
- Cost Savings: This method significantly reduces the time and costs associated with traditional sample production.
- Stronger Market Position: With faster turnarounds and lower initial setup costs, you gain a competitive edge over your rivals in the market.
Phase 2: Tooling and Pre-Prototype Setup
After the initial 3D-printed mockup sample has been approved by the customer, we move to the critical tooling and pre-prototype stage. Here’s how this phase is designed to ensure precision and scalability:
Advanced Tooling Process
Once approval is received, all technical data, drawings, and templates are passed to our in-house tooling workshop. Here’s how the process unfolds:
Tooling Creation: Skilled technicians operate advanced CNC tooling machines and EDM machines to craft precise alloy-metal moulds.
Production Timeline: Depending on technical compatibility and structural complexity, this phase typically takes 25 to 50 days for the mould to be finalized.
Refinements: Modifications are often required during the moulding process to address any disruptions or fine-tune the design for optimal results.
Material Composition for Earphones
The tooling process focuses on various external components of the earphones, which are made using high-quality materials:
ABS Plastics or Polycarbonate (PC): Used for the plastic housing of headphone covers.
Sponge, PVC, PU Leather, or Silicone: For ear cushions and ear caps.
PVC or PU Wrapping: Used in earphone cables to ensure durability and flexibility.
Injection Moulding and Customization
With 20 advanced injection moulding machines of varying sizes and lifting weights, our facilities are capable of 24-hour operations to meet any order quantity. During this stage, products can be customized with specific colors and branded relief designs directly injected into the moulds.
In cases where customers require multiple color combinations, we proceed to the next step: color spraying at our contracted paint-spraying factory.
Branding and Logo Printing Solutions
After the color spraying process is completed, logos, brands, or slogans are applied using various printing techniques. We offer a range of branding solutions to meet customer needs, including:
Laser Engraving (Itching): For precision and durability.
Pad Printing: Ideal for small, detailed logos.
Silk-Screen Printing: Suitable for larger, flat surfaces.
Offset Printing: For multi-color, high-resolution designs.
UV Printing: Ensures vivid colors and high durability.
This phase is critical for turning the approved mockup into a fully-functional pre-production prototype, ensuring every detail meets customer expectations and market requirements. From tooling to branding, we ensure a seamless transition from design to reality.
