PROTOTYPING
Prototyping is crucial to the product development journey. Our extensive in house prototyping facilities allow us to efficiently test and iterate concepts throughout a project, transforming designs into practical solutions and enhancing speed to market for our clients.​ Our prototyping team are experts at creating anything from proof of concept rigs to test basic functionality, to full production intent prototypes that allow for full feature validation.
PROOF OF CONCEPT PROTOTYPES
Proof of concept prototypes allow the principles and basic functionality of a design to be evaluated before further work is carried out. Proof of concept prototypes range from handheld models to evaluate form, key controls and touch points, to larger electromechanical equipment to check motors and mechanisms. Testing and iterative improvement of proof of concept prototypes is a valuable step in the design process to help understand how users will interact with the product, whether features and mechanisms will work correctly and potential failure points.
PRESENTATION PROTOTYPES
As the design is refined, we can create presentation grade prototypes to give a top-quality representation of the final functionality, materials and appearance of your product.
​
Pre-production prototypes can be created using prototyping techniques such as CNC machining and Vacuum Casting or even prototype aluminium production tooling. These prototyping processes alongside high quality materials and finishes deliver high quality prototypes that reflect production intent.​
IN HOUSE RAPID PROTOTYPING
Our in-house rapid prototyping services include 3D printing, SLS/SLA, CNC Machining & Vacuum Casting.
These rapid prototyping techniques are used throughout our development process, providing quick turnaround on parts and allowing development prototypes to be created to test and refine your product design quickly and cost effectively, delivering the best possible design outcome to clients.​​​​
