Prototypes

Prototyping is a very important part of product development. Well made prototypes help the producer assess the design and uncover practical issues and problems that a 2D design on paper cannot. Prototyping aids extensive testing and evaluation of consumer products. A fully functional prototype that closely represents the final manufactured solution can be sent for user trials. All possible testing is conducted on the prototype, and if the results are satisfactory, the design is finalised and the product goes in for mass production.

Prototyping helps to test your design in its initial stage when incorporating changes are more affordable. If you are able to determine early what the drawbacks in design are, you will be able to save not only money, but also time. That way, fewer changes will need to be implemented after production. Besides, for designers who plan to launch a new concept in the market, prototyping can prove out the design and concept to attract funding. Parts can also be made available for trade shows and engineering evaluations for more feedback.

The prototyping unit at JH May has experienced engineers and model makers. We can make fully functional, cost effective prototypes and we are great at keeping deadlines. Our prototypes mimic the final material properties as closely as possible to confirm its functionality and test its accuracy.

If you want more information about our prototyping services, get in touch with us at 01277 365500. We will try to provide a budget quotation the same day, if possible.
