ANTICIPATED LAUNCH SCHEDULE
3D-printed prototype
COMPLETED - MARCH 2026
Produce physical prototype using 3D printing. This will validate that the device works as intended in its current geometry. Also allows for discovering defects and possible problems to fix in future models.
Optimize model for manufacturing (DFM)
COMPLETED - MAY 2026
After deciding on materials to use, follow Design For Manufacturing (DFM) principles to update the geometry of each part to make sure that it can be reasonably manufactured using conventional manufacturing methods.
Have DFM model fabricated
WAITING - Submitted JUNE 2026
Validate the DFM design by having a physical model made by a prototyping shop.
Order placed. Waiting for test assembly and full production.
Find manufacturing parters
COMPLETED EARLY - JULY 2026
Reach out to multiple manufacturers and obtain a quote and feedback on manufacturability.
I have already received multiple quotes for each required part and connected with a manufacturing agent to coordinate the quality, assembly, warehousing, and shipping processes.
Test DFM prototype
August 2026
Find all the imperfections and “hammer out the kinks” so to speak.
Do the parts work together correctly? Are they too fragile or rigid? What challenges did the prototyping shop have that need to be addressed?
Launch Kickstarter campaign
September 2026
Funding push!
Shipping and delivery
August 2027
Volio Folios are on the way!
I’m hoping (and expecting) that it won’t take this long to deliver after funding, but I am giving plenty of time in case we need to make changes to parts or manufacturers along the way.
