Our planned process
From a useful question
to a considered product.
Design & select
Develop a concept and consider the printing approach and material. Confirm any requirements that need further review.
Prototype & review
Produce a sample, review its fit and usability, and refine the design before deciding whether it is ready for an intended use.
Define the offer
Set a clear scope, specifications, limitations, price, and lead time before offering a product. Ordering is not open yet.
Material considerations
The right material
starts with the right questions.
We are evaluating filament options, including PLA and PETG, as we develop our first concepts. No production material range or performance specification has been finalized.
| Consideration | What we need to establish |
|---|---|
| Environment | Indoor or outdoor placement, temperature, sunlight, moisture, and any chemicals the item may encounter. |
| Function | Required fit, loading, repeated use, flexibility, and how a failure could affect the user. |
| Finish & maintenance | Readability, surface expectations, cleaning needs, and when an item should be replaced. |
| Evidence | Supplier data and testing relevant to the exact design and intended use, rather than assumptions based on a material name. |
Ideas under consideration · Not a product catalog
Small products.
Practical applications.
ORGANIZATION
A place for the essentials.
Concepts include holders for inspection accessories, desk organizers, and storage dividers that help keep commonly used items together.
IDENTIFICATION
Make things easier to find.
Ideas include equipment-location labels, storage markers, and identification accessories, with requirements reviewed for each intended setting.
TRAINING
Bring an explanation to life.
Explore demonstration models, classroom props, and visual learning aids for safety conversations and instruction.
CUSTOM CONCEPTS
Start with your problem.
Tell us what you need to organize, identify, or demonstrate. We can discuss the idea while our future offering takes shape.
These are development concepts, not tested or available safety products. We are not offering PPE, protective guards, load-bearing parts, or other safety-critical components through this site. Suitability and any applicable requirements must be established before a product is offered.
Connected company. Distinct ventures.
Built under NextGen.
Room for a different identity.
This site represents the planned safety-related printing range under NextGen Safety Solutions. Chris and Alyssa McKinley are building the company together.
Alyssa is also developing a separate business for other 3D printed items. Its name, range, and dedicated website will be introduced separately, giving that business a creative identity of its own.
