Why Hardware Startups Use Crystallization for Quality
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into crystallization testing — the unsung hero of hardware reliability. They explore how startups like a hypothetical smart-lock maker use controlled temperature swings to expose micro-cracks in PCBs and solder joints before products hit the field. With real numbers on failure rates and a breakdown of the thermal cycling process, they explain why this seemingly basic test can save thousands in warranty claims and recalls. They also touch on the trade-offs of accelerated testing and how to balance time-to-market with quality. A practical listen for anyone…
