SAN FRANCISCO, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fictiv, a global leader in supply chain and manufacturing has unveiled a significant expansion of its capabilities with the introduction of its Manufacturing & Supply Chain Solutions. Fictiv combines global engineering expertise across four manufacturing centers in the U.S., Mexico, India, and China with its advanced Supply Chain Platform to deliver end-to-end solutions, including design guidance, supplier selection, rapid prototyping, strategic sourcing, manufacturing planning, production, assembly, quality assurance, and logistics, allowing enterprises to seamlessly scale from prototype to production.
'Our expanded suite of manufacturing and supply chain solutions enables organizations to scale globally without the typical barriers of cost, resources, and risk,' says Dave Evans, Co-Founder and CEO of Fictiv. 'By leveraging Fictiv's AI technology-backed platform and four global manufacturing centers, companies can seamlessly access high-quality production, optimize supply chain logistics, and mitigate tariffs. This is the future of agile, resilient manufacturing at a global scale.'
This new AI-driven supply chain platform integrates intelligence, automation, and quality control throughout the lifecycle, dynamically routing production, optimizing Design for Manufacturability (DFM), and proactively mitigating tariff risks. Fictiv offers an end-to-end digital infrastructure for sourcing custom mechanical components across aerospace, robotics, clean energy, consumer, and automotive sectors, streamlining the entire product and manufacturing lifecycle.

' At Lunar Energy, our mission is to power homes around the world with endless clean energy and backup protection when the grid goes down,' said Mark Rohan, VP of Operations at Lunar Energy. 'We operate at a very dynamic pace as we scale our business and we struggled with many suppliers to meet the dynamic pace of moving from prototype to production. We were quoted 20 weeks from large Contract Manufacturers and Fictiv was able to deliver production-quality parts in six to eight weeks. The supplier network that Fictiv has onboarded is incredibly impressive, we got to see it first hand and met the people who are building out tools and saw their quality processes, we can really trust Fictiv.'

123Invent Inventor Develops Improved Bra for Curvier Women

PITTSBURGH, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "As a curvier woman, I hated the discomfort associated with wearing a traditional bra. I wanted to create a more comfortable option for me, my daughter, and other women with curves," said an inventor, from Wagga, NSW, Australia, "so I invented the CroBra (by Char). My design provides added comfort and support, and the improved sizing guide helps you select the right size." The patent-pending invention provides an improved bra option for curvier women. In doing so, it prevents the bra from riding up and digging into the skin. It also helps prevent bulging. As a result, it increases comfort and support. Additionally, the invention features a unique design that is easy to wear. The CroBra (by Char) is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
