From Form Studies to Pre-Production

 We utilize prototyping during all phases of each project to ensure the development is as efficient as possible. We prototype in quantities suited to your needs, whether that’s one or two, several dozen, or even a few hundred for user testing and pre-production runs.

• Mock-ups and study models

• Simulations and virtual prototyping

• Appearance models

• Breadboards

• Circuit boards

• Proof of concept models

• Works like/looks like models

• 3D printing

• Surface finishing and painting

• Pre-production prototyping

Our in-house 3D printing capabilities include FDM and Objet, which are great for rapid prototyping. As projects become more refined, we can outsource through manufacturers to meet the needs of specific materials or surface finishes.

We also can provide appearance models. These typically precede a fully-functional prototype, with materials and finishes that allow for a realistic representation of a product’s design. They also aid in creating marketing material for a new product.
