If you have a solution to a problem, then Idea reality are the team to help you get it from idea to actual product! The guys commitment to you is a rare quality in today’s world, as they have a real passion for your product to succeed. The urban eyes idea was born out of need to provide protection for runners. This was from a guy with zero experience in this field. So I guess what I am saying, no matter what your level of experience is, give these guys a call, as they will help👍👍

Working with Idea Reality was a great experience as they were able to fulfil my expectation regarding the design that I had to come up with for a Private Label product (in which is now available on Amazon, Levey). The end result of the design met all criterias that I was looking for, not to mention the willingness to help me to achieve the best outcome and not missing a single thing in the process design. I strongly recommend Idea Reality and definitely would use them again in case I need to. Max London, UK

We came to Idea Reality with an idea and no experience or knowledge on how to make a product, we have been working with them for the past year now and they have been amazing. The work they produced for our idea from the start all the way up to production has been outstanding. The one thing we are most grateful for is the time they have given us to help us understand how this procedure works and answering our thousands of questions! We can't wait to continue to work with Idea Reality on our project and future projects.

These guys exceeded our expectations! Very appreciative of what a great job they have done for us thus far. I’ve worked with Alex and James, they’ve been incredibly quick to respond to emails, they have great turn around for their high quality service, and have very reasonable pricing. It’s been a very pleasant business transaction and we’ll be coming back to them for future projects. We’ll highly recommend for anyone wanting to make their idea reality!!!

A journey l could not of done without the support from idea reality. From the very moment l contacted them they gave the confidence and guidance to move forward into an unknown world to take my idea to manufacturing. Each step linked in with the last step and all made sense to complete the process.
We have experience in producing prototypes in a variety of materials and processes

Idea Reality can support you on the creation of a variety of 3D design prototypes

Plastic Prototyping

At our studio, we have access to a range of 3D printing technologies to create high-quality plastic parts. This includes printing with various resolutions and from different materials, from rigid plastics to softer, rubber-like materials. For projects requiring higher fidelity, we collaborate with both local and international prototyping partners to achieve your desired quality. We can also assist with vacuum casting services that replicate injection-moulded finishes, providing clients with parts nearly identical in appearance to the final product. We can also assist with laser cutting and CNC machining for quick-turnaround parts, ensuring rapid prototyping before assembly and testing in our studio.

Metal Prototyping

For metal parts, we bring our extensive expertise in CNC machining to the table. During the design phase, our focus is on optimising parts for efficient machining, reducing the number of operations, and minimising machine time. This approach not only lowers prototype costs but also allows for cost-effective mass production if required.

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal prototyping is an economical method for producing durable prototypes. Typically, the process involves laser or waterjet cutting the sheet metal before forming and bending it by hand. Our experience spans numerous sheet metal projects, allowing us to apply our knowledge to your designs for efficient and effective production.

Textiles

Our fabric prototyping services are designed to meet diverse project needs. We start by sourcing the specified textiles, ensuring the right material is chosen for your prototype. From there, we can stitch the fabric according to your requirements. Our team is equipped to deliver fabric prototypes to test the feasibility of your design. We aim to seamlessly integrate fabric prototyping into your product development process, ensuring efficient and accurate results.
