Why prototyping saves money & how it works.
Swipe to see the full process →
Prototyping is an essential part of the product development process… especially if it’s something that’s going to be held or worn by an individual.
The strategy is to make quick prototypes that confirm the look and feel. High density foam, foam core board, even modeling clay: fast, cheap, and effective.
Once the shape and feel are confirmed, we move to CAD engineering drawings, allowing us to 3D print parts and assemble a prototype that’s fairly close to the real thing.
The early stages also involve sourcing stock parts (like gear motors or k***s) to see how they’ll fit into the housing.
If the product includes electronics, an electronic engineer can design a PC board and the components needed to make your product work.
The closer you get to a real working product, the more confidence investors will have — making it more “bankable.” Funding is always a key factor at every stage of the process.
A great prototype doesn’t just prove the idea. It funds the next step.
Something that didn’t exist yesterday could exist tomorrow💡
