Prototyping

FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES TO VALIDATE DESIGN DECISIONS AND ACCELERATE PROGRESS.

Overview

We provide prototyping support as part of the product development journey. Our focus is on building prototypes that reduce technical risk and support informed decision making.

Our experience in high volume production shapes how prototypes are specified and built. Prototypes are used to test assumptions, validate designs, and prepare products for the next stage of development.

Scope & Application

Prototyping covers the creation of functional models used to evaluate mechanical design, electronics, performance, and system integration.

Clients use this capability to explore concepts, validate engineering decisions, or support testing and evaluation. Work may involve early concept prototypes or later stage builds intended to de risk production.

This capability is commonly delivered alongside product design, electronic development, design for manufacture, and compliance and testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A prototype is a functional model used to evaluate design decisions, system integration and product performance.

  • Prototypes help identify issues early and reduce technical risk before production.

  • Prototypes may include electronics prototypes, mechanical models or integrated system builds.

  • Prototyping can occur at multiple stages, from early concept validation to later pre-production builds.

  • Prototypes are typically used to test specific aspects of a design rather than replicate the final product exactly.

  • Prototypes allow teams to validate design decisions before committing to manufacturing.
