EMBEDDED NEODYMIUM
Printed Iterations on X1E Carbon Printers
Business & Market Thinking
Market: pro painters, contractors, DIY. Differentiator: built for tradespeople, not offices. Positioning: “Tape faster. Work safer. Always ready at hand.”
GTM: licensing (Sherwin-Williams / 3M / Stanley), DTC contractor channels, and Amazon Pro Tools.
Outcomes & Learnings
Achieved a functioning prototype with one-handed flow, fast indexing, and safe cutting. Field sessions indicate reduced restart time and less frustration.
The path to DFM is clear: injection molding with a modular blade assembly.
Next Steps
Finalize the cutting mechanism choice, run durability cycles on site, refine holster/magnet hardware, and assemble a licensing package.
