在FICTIV，我们的愿景一直是使产品开发人员能够以软件的速度构建硬件。

今天我们很兴奋announce我们正在加速和实现这一愿景，由G2VP，三井＆Co.，英特尔资本，中文，比尔盖茨，Accel和Tandon集团投资3300万美元。像我们一样，这些合作伙伴共享我们的愿景，将合同制造的世界转化为全球数字生态系统，以实现快速，灵活的硬件开发。

We’ve built Fictiv by working with disruptive product designers and engineers in the robotics, automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace, and medical industries. Our customers understand that to compete in today’s global market, engineers need access to fast, high quality manufacturing at every stage of the product development process. And once a product is in market, our customers need an agile supply chain that responds to market demands.

我们将使用投资加速我们的工具和网络的开发，以满足这些需求：

  • 制造网络扩展：Our goal is not to have the largest network, but the highest quality network. Fictiv’s manufacturing partners are vetted and on boarded onto our stringent quality assurance system. We will thoughtfully expand our network throughout the US and APAC region, to offer the speed, capabilities and materials our customers demand.
  • 工具和透明度：By investing more in intelligent features like automatic DFM, instant pricing and order status, we are creating not just a platform, but a tool to help engineers make informed decisions. The result? Less wasted communication time and energy to get amazing products to market. Expect richer, more intelligent features and unprecedented transparency through the Fictiv platform.
  • 引导方式的指南：虽然我们相信技术可以提高效率，但我们也知道技术必须与经验和靴子搭配地面知识。我们将继续发展我们的恒星团队的制造，质量，软件和销售工程师，为客户提供支持。

We’re just getting started

This investment is validation of Fictiv’s vision and the work we have done thus far, and I want to thank Fictiv employees for their commitment and never ending pursuit of excellence and improvement.

代表虚构团队，我希望通过我们的制造合作伙伴和客户来扩展我的制造业合作伙伴和客户，他们每天都会通过创造力和愿景激励我们。我们感谢您的制造合作伙伴，并致力于您的成功。

向上和向上！

戴夫和Nate Evans
