Product Prototyping Services

Prototyping a product design idea is an essential step in the process of launching a new product idea to market. As a product prototype maker with inhouse facilities, we can help not only to test your concept using a physical product prototype, but also to evaluate and enhance your design in terms of innovation and manufacturing efficiency and with consistent quality.Our award winning design team will adapt the prototyping technologies to fit your unique project needs and aims – from quick lower fidelity functional prototypes, to aesthetic high fidelity marketing models.

Why prototype a product invention idea?

Prototyping a new invention design is an essential step in the product design and development process. It is the only way to ensure your design operates as expected and meets the target user’s needs, it’s a crucial point to identify any mechanical issues that can be resolved before mass manufacturing, and can help you prove your idea to investors.

  • Low Fidelity Prototypes

    Quick prototypes that allow to prove if the design works and inform further developments before finalising engineering and aesthetics.

  • Mid Fidelity Prototypes

    Functional prototypes that allow to test mechanical performance and refine the use of the product.

  • Electronic Prototypes

    Prototypes including electronic assemblies and components, bespoke PCBs and IoT systems. Check our guide to prototyping an electronic product.

  • High Fidelity Prototypes

    Aesthetic and/ or fully functional prototypes of the concept are perfect to demonstrate the final product for investment or licensing purposes.
