Prototyping & Manufacturing Readiness
Prove the design before you commit to production
A prototype answers questions that drawings cannot. We build functional mechanical prototypes that demonstrate how the device actually performs, and appearance models and form studies that let you evaluate size, grip and proportion in the hand before anything is committed to tooling.
Machined and SLA prototypes are produced to match the intent of the final part as closely as possible, so what you test is representative of what you will eventually manufacture.
Built to move into production
Manufacturing readiness is not a stage at the end of a project — it runs alongside the design. Tooling, fixtures, packaging and documentation are developed with the product, not after it.

What this service includes
Manufacturing readiness is not a stage at the end of a project — it runs alongside the design. Tooling, fixtures, packaging and documentation are developed with the product, not after it.
Timing depends on complexity and process, but prototyping is scheduled to your milestone, whether that is a design review, an animal study or an investor meeting.
Yes. Design and documentation are prepared for FDA cGMP and ISO 13485 compliance, so the design history transfers cleanly to your quality system.
