3 Step Service Process
Empowering innovation through a partnership-based approach
1. Analyze
Project Assessment
Hot Pop Factory Product Design Services start with you. By adopting a user-centric approach, our service team will help your organization identify opportunities where design to manufacturing best practices can be leveraged to address new ideas, ongoing challenges, or new business needs.
Hot Pop Factory is equipped with the resources, expertise, and technologies to empower your team.
Design Evaluation
Unlimited by traditional design-for-manufacture rules, our subtractive and additive manufacturing enables designers and engineers to envision detailed, complex geometries for next-generation parts without considering constraints typically faced with traditional manufacturing processes. Whether you are starting with a market need to fill or clearly defined project parameters, we can help - from initial market research through the key considerations for form, fit, function, and structural integrity.
With this design freedom comes a new set of tools, principles, and practices: Design For Additive Manufacturing (DFAM). Whether making last minute geometry tweaks or designing from scratch, our experienced team has the knowledge, expertise, and technologies to help you.
2. Propose
Solution Proposition
Following our project assessment, our specialists will propose an optimized solution that aligns with your business requirements and current market demands.
Feasibility Study
Our team specializes in creating innovative solutions to meet your demanding challenges. Our manufacturing facilities have the latest manufacturing technology for testing, bench-marking, and validation of your proposed solution; which allows us to run feasibility studies quickly and effectively.
The study consists of:
- Technology Assessment
- Materials Selection
- Implementation and Process Strategy
- Test and Validation
3. Deliver
Manufacture
By applying the latest subtractive and additive manufacturing technology, our staff of highly-experienced specialists will meet the most stringent demands in terms of time, cost and precision for production of your solution.
Prototype
Create any form imaginable with molding, machining and 3D printing, producing parts direct from your CAD design. Blend aesthetics and function into an incredible model, in your hands and ready for display.
Correct errors and improve designs early in the development process, or evaluate thermal, chemical and mechanical stress using high-performance materials, adding a new level of performative data for your product. Whether concept models, fit-functions parts, or functional prototypes are required, our team of professionals can offer a solution that best meets your needs.
Direct digital manufacturing
Hot Pop Factory and the TriMech Group is a leader in direct digital manufacturing (DDM), enabling speed and design freedom to empower advancements in product development and the products themselves.
Using the latest additive manufacturing technologies and materials, we are able to provide optimized manufacturing aids and fully-functional end-use production parts. For low-mid volume requirements, additive manufacturing affords increased design freedom and customization capability, as well as reduced cost and production time compared to traditional methods.
Manufacturing tools, such as jigs, fixtures, drill guides, and check gauges can be quickly and cost-effectively produced with additive manufacturing solutions, eliminating machining or tooling requirements whilst affording increased complexity.
Hot Pop Factory turn-key manufacturing services will allow you to quickly respond to evolving production requirements and market demands.

Our Manufacturing Technologies
Modern CNC Machining Methods
CNC Machining Services include milling, and turning for the production of high-quality parts using modern machining methods. We employ highly skilled machinists and industry-leading equipment to accommodate a vast array of manufacturing applications.
CNC machining is usually a slower prototyping process than 3D printing parts. However, it is an extremely accurate process and is, therefore, ideal for low- and high-volume production of end-use production-grade metal and plastic components.
Benefits
Subtractive manufacturing is still available for applications where a machined part from metal or plastic is the best solution. CNC Machining can also be used to finish 3D printed parts that require boring, drilling, face milling or other precision machining for enhancing features.
