[QUOTE="Inman Labs, post: 2849, member: 318"] Hello All: I am here asking for your help and opinions. I designed a new clasp a few years ago and have spent a ton of money trying to bring this clasp to market. It simply is two ball clasps joined by an adjustable bridge, we call it the I-Clasp. The idea is that only two sizes would be needed, molar and bicuspid. It is easy to adapt to the working model and very easy for the clinician to adjust. Here is my question: The cost to manufacturer the clasp dictates that I would have to charge $1.50 per clasp. Do you think anyone would pay this much? Please everyone give your opinions.... Question # 2 One of my guys redesigned my clasp to be made with a single wire, we call it the M-Clasp. It is sort of like an Adams Clasp but with the same adjustable bridge and again only two sizes are needed. It will cost around .25 or the same as Adams Clasps. Will any of you use it? I am ready to kill the I-Clasp and walk away from almost 20K spent on prototypes, legal fees and engineering costs. Is this the right thing to do???? Thanks in advance for your honest answers.
