How OEM Saddle Development Typically Works
Working with an OEM saddle manufacturer involves a structured development process designed to take your product from concept to production-ready status. Here's how it typically works with SPROKETO.
1. Initial Consultation
The process begins with understanding your product vision — target market, riding discipline, price positioning, and any technical requirements. This helps us assess feasibility and propose a development direction.
2. Design & Prototyping
Based on your brief, our engineering team develops prototypes covering shell shape, foam density mapping, cover material selection, and rail configuration. For 3D printed models, this includes lattice pattern design.
3. Sample Review
We provide physical samples for your evaluation. A structured revision process with dedicated project communication ensures the product meets your standards before moving to production.
4. Production & Delivery
Once approved, production begins with multi-stage quality inspection at every phase. Final products are prepared for container shipment with reliable production coordination.
