We provide critical services to help you bring your concept to reality.
Engineering Design
Create technical design that meets functional needs as well as manufacturing cost and quality requirements
Crystalize product concept
Mock-up design options
Model design in 3D CAD
Evaluate mechanical design risks
Prototyping
Build a physical representation of your idea for functionality testing, user feedback, and fundraising
Proof of concept (POC) prototype to test hypothesis and product concept
Minimum viable product (MVP) prototype to test functionality and user experience
Beta prototype to confirm quality and finalize functionality prior to volume manufacturing
Manufacturing
Transition to volume manufacturing with supplier and manufacturing partner selection and setup
Select custom and off-the-shelve components and suppliers
Establish high level key item cost estimates
Identify suitable manufacturing partners
Provide knowledge transfer and set-up support
What type of prototype do I need?
Hypothesis testing
If the viability of your product depends upon some critical variables, use simulation and proof of concept (POC) prototyping to clarify product vision will save you time and resources. Early stage engineering and user testing of your design concepts can flag major design, function, and cost issues. Catching those early will help get to market faster with fewer undesirable surprises.
Product & market assessment
Building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) prototype is critical to test and refine a physical product idea. The hardware MVP prototypes can range from basic versions intended for quick turnaround and early functionality testing, to production-ready quality versions for marketing.
Volume production readiness
Beta prototypes are the near-final design to your product that looks and feels like the final products using intended volume manufacturing process. This is the last stage in the product design process to make final adjustments, and the prototypes are often used for stakeholders and regulators to assess the quality and functionality of the product for market launch.
