Prototyping

Working strategically to solve problems early on.
Prototyping is at the nexus of our design and manufacturing disciplines. It grounds our design work while refining our approach to manufacturing. Like design, it’s about taking the opportunity to learn, refine, and save our clients from big headaches later on in production.
What we can do for you.
-
Proof of Concept
New products need testing at every level, whether understanding its basic functionality, or dialing it in to feel perfect. Our approach allows us to create the right design, and then to repeat it easily with production level precision.
-
Tolerance Analysis
Each project brings its own set of parameters which determine its success. We ensure precision tools and processes are placed where it matters in the process, and gain production efficiencies where possible.
-
Form & Function
Prototyping form is just as important as function. Whether by hand or using CAD, we carefully sculpt each design. Our clients can see the design come to life, and use prototypes to learn critical feedback from end users.
-
Production Design
As a product moves into production, we apply learning from prototyping to design the right processes and order to which parts get made and come together relative to its scale of production.
