Product Development Basics, Craig Stucko

Craig Stucko has over 30 years of experience in manufacturing but his true love is “Designing for Manufacturability”, “anyone can design a product” he says “the trick is to design it so that the manufacturing costs are in line with the consumer’s purchase price.” Craig draws from his extensive experience that started when he was just a boy in the basement of his Brooklyn home working on custom machinery that was designed by his dad. Early on Craig saw the benefits of using CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Machining) software to develop and manufacture products at low cost, he was so taken with computers that he moved on to supplying programming services to companies to run Automated Machinery.
