Mira Labs is a smartphone-powered augmented reality system that helps to digitize and document workflows and connect frontline workers through hands-free AR glasses and enterprise-ready software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mira<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMira Labs\u2019 Prism headset is an enterprise-grade wearable that allows businesses to deploy augmented reality,\u201d says Haley Harrington, product design engineer at Mira Labs. \u201cMira avoids the high barriers to entry often associated with AR, including managing and securing new devices, as well as prohibitive cost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mira<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Harrington and the entire team at Mira Labs are looking to enable a hands-free world, in which workers can stay aware, while still reporting and documenting information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Challenge: Overcoming Slow Production Cycles While Staying Dynamic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since augmented reality is still in its early phase, solutions can take a long time to test and validate. Along with the inherent issues that come with frontier technology comes a need for dynamic development, in order to take what\u2019s learned and apply that knowledge to new hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe challenge lies in producing hardware that is high enough fidelity to get valuable feedback from real people in the world. It needs to work, and work well,\u201d Harrington says. \u201cIn an ideal world, we should be able to leave prototypes with customers, so that we can see what it\u2019s like in their everyday lives, because that provides us with the most valuable insights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, getting that information back and iterating on design was a challenge for the team. Getting the high resolution parts they needed at low cost, with high quality, was difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose units need to be produced quickly, relatively inexpensively, and without the investment in tooling that makes design and engineering changes difficult and costly,\u201d Harrington says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution: Supply Chain Consolidation and Flexibility with Fictiv<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Fictiv gave us access to overseas MJF printing that allowed us to quickly produce cost-effective units.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Mira Labs team leveraged Fictiv\u2019s HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing capabilities, with economical overseas production to produce fully functional units at high volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFictiv gave us access to overseas MJF printing that allowed us to quickly produce cost-effective units,\u201d says Harrington. \u201cFictiv has allowed us to produce fully functional units at a volume that would traditionally have been very difficult to manage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harrington says Multi Jet Fusion gives Mira Labs\u2019 product a polished appearance that\u2019s customer-ready, allowing the company to meet its goal to put prototypes in customers\u2019 hands in exchange for product feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMJF allows us to produce complete, functional units, with a high-quality look and feel, that we\u2019re able to get into the hands of our customers,\u201d Harrington says. \u201cThrough that process, we\u2019re able to get continual feedback and make important improvements to our design.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
