Case Study: 219 Design achieves rapid injection-molding turnaround and access to complex manufacturing with Fictiv

How Silicon Valley 219 Design works with Fictiv to unlock complex manufacturing capabilities and deliver more value to their clients

219 Design is a Bay Area product engineering firm that tackles complex hardware challenges across mechanical, electrical, software and UX domains. Facing time-consuming supplier sourcing and vetting—especially for complex processes like injection molding—the team needed reliable manufacturing partners and faster turnarounds, so they engaged Fictiv for access to vetted, fast-turn manufacturing and dedicated support.

Fictiv matched 219 Design with a vetted injection-molding partner in China, enabling tooling to be cut in about two weeks and parts to arrive one week later for a DuPont drone project; Fictiv’s responsive support and supplier management saved significant engineering time (engineers had previously spent an estimated 25–100% of their time managing vendors), lowered costs for quick-turn projects, and let 219 Design take on more complex work and deliver greater value to clients.
