Case Study: Lunar Energy achieves 50% faster time-to-production and $1M in tooling savings with Fictiv

Clean Energy Innovation Meets Manufacturing Expertise

Lunar Energy, a clean-energy company developing the Lunar System (solar + home energy storage) in Mountain View, CA, needed to move quickly from design to production while meeting tight timelines, strict quality and regulatory requirements, and complex mechanical tolerances. Lunar Energy chose Fictiv for comprehensive manufacturing support—rapid prototyping, injection molding, design-for-manufacturability (DFM) consultation, and global supply-chain services—to accelerate iterations and simplify the prototype-to-production transition.

Fictiv supplied rapid prototyping and soft tooling, injection-molded components, DFM expertise, and managed supply-chain and quality services via ISO‑certified partners, delivering tools in as little as six weeks instead of months. The partnership cut lead times and time-to-production by ~50% (eliminating a tooling cycle), saved about $1M in tooling costs, reduced tooling expenses by an estimated 65–70%, recovered 700 engineering hours, and streamlined scaling and compliance testing so Lunar Energy could accelerate market launch.
