Prototyping
Where Digital becomes Physical
Now it's Real
Once we have fully detailed the design, rendered the proposed fit and finish, and simulated its performance, we bring your design to life through a prototype. Nothing provides more information about the potential final product than a physical prototype you can use and hold in your hand.
We make use of a wide variety of prototyping methods to produce the first physical version of your product. 3D printing allows us to test forms, ideas and plastic parts with a high degree of accuracy, while subtractive (CNC) methods allow us to evaluate production grade materials for fit and performance. Our electrical and firmware teams are able to produce short runs of the electrical systems so that these early prototypes are both look-like and works-like models.
You now have a functional prototype to bring to stakeholders, potential investors and future customers.
