Happy moment when I received the first product review from USA jeep blogger .-)

#15 - Photo shooting for the online shop

#15 - Photo shooting for e-commerce

Making product pictures is not easy, reflections, shadows, brightness. As I am not really equipped, I work with what I have.
But this stage is great, the fruit of my labor before my eyes, months of work, disillusions to finally have the final parts. So to photograph them, even if it is complicated, remains a much less worry.

#14 - The first product from the mold, a complete success

July 28, 2017Frossard Dominique

Yeeeeees, I am happy, first product done!

I just received the first set of products from the mold making, so this is no longer a prototype, but the real product. It took a few tests and to set the machine for a result like that.
Now nothing is opposed to the production launch of the first 200 sets.

#13 - Creation of the mold in progress ; big mold for 4 nerfs

July 04, 2017Frossard Dominique

The creation of the mold to began almost a month ago, if interesting how it is composed.

#12 - After 8 months Bumper Nerfs for Jeep Grand Wagoneer are in production

May 30, 2017Frossard Dominique

After 8 months of work in this Bumper Nerf reproduction project or I left on very bad copies, after a lot of conceptualization, testing and many prototypes, I'm happy to announce that the Bumper Nerf for Jeep Grand Wagoneer 84–91, are now out in production.

Pre-booking is opening now.

#11 - Cool article about my company on ECWID

Cool post from ECWID about my company

#10 - Final prototype needs to be check by a customer

February 13, 2017Frossard Dominique

After several tests on my own bumper, some little modification is needed. But what is the limit ? Making parts better than the original or just copying the original? In this case, customer feedback is welcome.

#9 - Final prototype on real material PP

January 20, 2017Frossard Dominique

Test of a PP prototype is required to check the flexibility of the product. This is not possible with the ABS because that is hard plastic and doesn’t have a good resist at deformation. 

#8 - Prototype on the bumper - needs some modifications

December 01, 2016Frossard Dominique

Nothing is worth the tests on the real parts, but it also shows immediately the errors so we will correct, again.

#7 - How to explain the differences

September 18, 2016Frossard Dominique

The big challenge on reproducing parts, when you need to compare original parts and prototypes, is how to present the modification and what technique you need to use.
That is my strategy, but certainly not the better one.

#5 - Prototype ABS ready

September 01, 2016Frossard Dominique

Prototypes for Chrysler Jeep Grand Wagoneer 81–91 are ready. Can’t wait to check on my bumper.

#4 - Remove samples and compare to 3D drawing

August 23, 2016Frossard Dominique

Comparison between original out of the box samples of bumper stripes for Chrylser Jeep Grand Wagoneer and 3D drawing files received by supplier proves to be an important moment for the project.

#3 - Find a set of bumpers in good condition

August 11, 2016Frossard Dominique

After some time to search for bumpers in good condition for Jeep Grand Wagoneer, I finally found a set in Switzerland.

#2 - Scan and 3D drawing ready - First release

August 05, 2016Frossard Dominique

Received scan and 3D drawing today. Wow ! Nice work ; all defaults removed.
Great Job.

#1 - Remove poor samples and send to scanning
