PROTOTYPE DESIGN

Prototype design is one of the many product design services we provide, and it is an essential part of the process of turning your idea into a reality. It allows you to not only test your concept with a physical product, but also to evaluate and improve your design practically.

Often, a prototype is only required to prove that the concept design is correct before proceeding to manufacture; however, prototype design can take many forms, ranging from simple mock ups to fully functioning models specifically for sales purposes.

Furthermore, depending on your overall goal, different products, ideas, and concepts will necessitate different prototypes, such as:

Product design prototypes, Display only prototypes, Electronic & PCB prototypes

Why prototype an invention idea?

There are numerous advantages to prototyping an invention idea, and there are numerous reasons why inventors and/or entrepreneurs like you will want to invest in this critical stage of the design process.

Whether you want to test a design before moving forward, develop your product, need a working prototype for crowdfunding, or are ready to share your invention idea with potential investors, prototyping an invention idea can often make a significant difference to your project, allowing you to refine your idea while giving you a competitive edge.

Design development

Design development entails the engineering and fine tuning of a chosen design concept in order to create an initial prototype.

Design development, referred to as the 'fine tuning' stage in the overall journey of bringing your invention idea to market, allows us to focus on the finer details and adjust the concepts initially presented; whether it is changes to the height, size, or colours.

A prototype-ready design can be created once your concept has been suitably amended and agreed upon.

Product prototypes & design testing

Product prototypes and design testing allow you to understand and identify any potential issues with initial designs and amend accordingly before moving forward, assisting you in avoiding any design-related manufacturing problems that may prove costly or delay the manufacturing process. Design testing also assists you in determining whether your product design works as expected and demonstrating your invention idea to potential investors.

Product prototypes and design testing with our experienced team here at Idea Reality allows you to eliminate flaws and potential issues early on, achieving a smooth, prompt, and worry-free journey to manufacturing your product.

Electronic prototype design

Where electronics and mechanical elements are required in the initial prototype design, we collaborate with highly skilled electronic design engineers to ensure that this is fully integrated into the design from the start.

Electronic prototype design, whether for simple gadgets and appliances or complex machines, software apps, and systems with multiple components, allows you to more accurately understand and adapt your design to respond to any potential flaws, as well as refine your design before moving on to the next stage of the process.
