Innovate with Rapid Iterations
Prototypes
Accurate, fast prototyping is critical to any innovative R&D effort. Our extensive in-house capabilities allow us to build prototypes and navigate design considerations while reducing systems risks.
We do it all: appearance models, functional breadboards, and final works-like, looks-like models that can be used to validate with users and verify on the bench or in the lab.
Fast prototype iterations
Building prototype systems in-house gives the development team valuable insight into the manufacturing methods and costs, allowing us to develop accurate models and lower production costs for the long haul.
The Need for Speed
Fast prototype iterations are paramount to rapid innovation. Understanding electro-mechanical systems, mitigating risks, and measuring data quickly allows us to discern what concepts are valid and which aren’t.

Attention to Detail
We are a hands-on, attention to detail shop. Intricacies of the design matter, therefore prototype fabrication methods matter. That translates into better design details and long-term manufacturing, leading to lower COGS.
Prototyping Systems
We don’t just fabricate parts, we build systems. We understand the relationship between mechanics and electronics and quickly iterate through prototypes, evolving the design in the process.
Under Our Roof
Our prototyping capabilities live here in our R&D facility, giving us the ability to make and modify designs on the spot. Our in-house prototyping lab saves time and money for our clients and gives us more insight into critical design considerations and manufacturing methods.
THE PROCESS
Prototype Evolution
01
Appearance Models
There’s only one way to know. Build it. Hold it. Feel its weight. Grip and maneuver it. See it in scale, working in its environment. We test it with users. Then we’ll know we’ve gotten it right.
Bring it all together
Here's What's Next
03
Looks Like, Works Like
We bring it all together: functionality, aesthetics, human factors. We do more bench testing. We perform user testing and evaluate manufacturability. All with our in-house prototyping capabilities.

Ready for action?
It’s time to bring concepts to life. There’s nothing quite like building those first devices. We learn, modify, and do it again. Whatever the design calls for, we can make it.
