For new parents, their baby’s sleep is of fundamental importance. Rest Devices For this reason, we want to upgrade children's rooms with modern technology. Connected, intelligent products are designed to support parents. A product from Rest Devices is Mimo. Mimo is

The Rest Devices office

a wearable device for toddlers that monitors sleep patterns, breathing, and movements and transmits the data live to the parents' smartphone.

For rapid product development, research, development, and design must work closely together, and components must be manufactured internally, quickly, and easily. A 3D printer supports rapid development cycles in this regard. To always be able to offer its customers the best products, Rest Devices therefore rely on efficient product development with the help of Markforged MarkOne.

Development with obstacles

The Mimo Sleep monitoring is based on a small plastic turtle in which the control device is built. Obstacles arose during development. Various 3D printers produced parts that were too brittle or too temperature-resistant. The manufacturing process became a nightmare when the molds began to crack under the force of the automated press. New equipment would have fixed the problem but would have cost a lot of money and time.

A faster and more cost-effective method was needed. The decision was made quickly and MarkOne from MarkforgedFinally, Rest Devices the shapes with the help of MarkOne in 3D printing. The printed molds are stable enough and all requirements are met. Rest Devices was able to accelerate the development process from one iteration per month to several per day. Furthermore, the cost of milled parts was reduced to barely more than the material cost.

Looking to the future with the MarkOne

After the critical challenges were overcome, Rest Devices with the MarkOne experimented and discovered many more possible uses. Complicated geometries or third-party prices and delivery times lost their influence on prototyping. In manufacturing, many parts were replaced to maintain and improve processes. Now, the question is even being raised as to whether final products can be 3D printed.
