Web Address: http://www.vargooutdoors.com/Objective: Development of a titanium hexagon backpacking wood stove which folds to a slim compact size, requiring little space in a pack
Working with client and SBDC team, I oversaw creation of SolidWorks models with dimensioned drawings for manufacture, suggested design improvements, and recommended manufacturing processes. With these plans and drawings in hand, the VargoOutdoors development team advanced rapidly from prototype to final product.
“The SBDC has been extremely beneficial in assisting with the technical refinement of several of our backpacking related products. Their assistance has allowed Vargo Outdoors to bring to market a superior product in comparison to the original prototypes.” - BrianVargo, Owner, Vargo Outdoors
