Prototype Development

As the continuous evolution of new products remains a prevalent trend, the demand for high-quality prototypes has surged. Leveraging technological advancements and a skilled engineering team, we excel in crafting professional and top-tier prototypes. Our prototype offerings cater to diverse needs, ranging from virtual prototypes and early-stage concepts to functional demonstrations and cosmetically accurate final prototypes engineered for production.

Our prototype expertise spans various domains, including Plastic Manufacturing, Metal Fabrication, and Electronic Engineering. With our team of degreed prototype engineers, we aim to bring your product to life through our four prototype options.

Upon completion of the project, all Engineering & Prototype Drawing files, along with relevant project information, are compiled and dispatched to you. Additionally, APPL Global Infotech retains a confidential in-house copy of all engineering data for your future reference. Due to the unique nature of each product, there is no standard pricing for prototyping; however, we offer free fixed-price quotes on all our Prototype Services.

Our Process

Every prototype commences with the creation of a computer-aided design (CAD) for the product. Our services encompass product design and industrial design, laying the foundation for a comprehensive 3D model in the CAD. This model encapsulates vital information such as functionality, dimensions, materials, and other internal and external details, making prototypes an indispensable aspect of the product design process. Subsequently, we conduct computer simulations to assess the behaviour of individual parts and components during usage and assembly, ensuring optimal product functionality and ease of manufacturing at various scales.

Building upon the CAD framework, we manufacture prototypes to gain real-time insights into the product within an actual space. MAKO offers the flexibility to prototype the entire product or focus on specific elements, aiding in informed decision-making. The value of prototypes extends to customer feedback, where the tactile experience can reveal preferences regarding weight, exterior feel, and ergonomics.

The utility of prototypes doesn't stop there. By producing and selling small batches of high-fidelity prototypes to real customers, you can demonstrate product traction to attract investor interest. Additionally, MAKO provides support for patent referrals to safeguard your idea, and we can initiate the creation of cosmetic prototypes to enhance your marketing initiatives.

3D CONCEPT (CAD DESIGN)
CAD/ Rendering

The CAD design phase involves transforming the refined sketch into an initial conceptual CAD design using cutting-edge 3D CAD software. At APPL Global Infotech, our approach involves initiating the construction of these models using full manufacturing-grade, top-of-the-line software, even in the conceptual stage. While this demands a higher level of technical expertise, it significantly streamlines the design and engineering process, facilitating a smoother transition into manufacturing and adding substantial value to the overall design. Leveraging a curated library of components and knowledge derived from over 1,000 in-house product designs, we demonstrate exceptional efficiency and effectiveness in 3D CAD Design, a pivotal component of the mechanical and electrical engineering services process.

SIMULATION ANALYSIS
Assess/ Optimize

The primary objective in this phase is to address the question: 'Can we enhance it and make it more cost-efficient?' This stage revolves around pinpointing limitations and opportunities for improvement through thorough 3D virtual simulations of the product in diverse static and dynamic environments. For electrical engineers, the simulations involve replicating wiring configurations, voltage variations, and heat output based on the required electricity to power the component or device. The identification of these crucial electrical engineering elements serves as the foundation for constructing functional prototypes, ensuring reliable manufacturing runs, and ultimately delivering the ideal version of the product into the hands of your customers.

Prototyping
BUILD / MEASURE / LEARN

The CAD serves the purpose of validating the feasibility and functionality of the product design from a virtual standpoint. Moving into the product prototyping phase allows you to physically interact with a tangible product, gaining insights into its appearance and real-world functionality. Prototyping not only offers the chance to enhance and perfect the final design but also serves to mitigate costs and risks before progressing to full-scale production. Whether through iterative, parallel, rapid prototyping, or our unique Smart MVP process, our prototyping methodologies are tailored to prepare you for user testing, investment pitches, crowdfunding, and all stages in between.

HOW APPL GLOBAL INFOTECH
CAN VALUE-ADD IN YOUR BUSINESS

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

SMART MVP

Looking to uncover the core desires of your customers? That's precisely what the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) aims to achieve. By minimizing unnecessary time, costs, and effort, the focus is on creating a prototype that functions effectively without unnecessary embellishments. Simplicity is crucial in this context, as the MVP's sole purpose is to gather valuable feedback from early adopters. Consequently, the MVP stands as the cornerstone in our iterative product development services process – laying the foundation for crafting the best possible iteration of the invention. Advances in our industry, such as 3D printing, enable the local and more cost-effective manufacturing of the MVP, now quicker than ever before.

RAPID PROTOTYPES

The benefits of rapid prototyping, outlined below, underscore the significance of prioritizing speed over complexity. When the urgency to understand the real-world performance of a specific aspect of your invention is paramount, rapid prototypes become the preferred approach. For instance, crafting specialized components swiftly allows us to assess their fit within the product and evaluate their impact on functionality. Rapid prototypes play a crucial role in risk mitigation, ensuring feasibility, and facilitating comparative performance analysis.

HIGH-FIDELITY PROTOTYPES

Close to the product launch and in the final stages of refining details before manufacturing? High-fidelity prototypes come into play, offering exceptional value. Inventors can leverage production-level cosmetic prototypes to present stunning visuals of their product on marketing channels, generating excitement among their audience well in advance of the launch. Additionally, individuals seeking the right investors often sell near-final prototypes of their invention, providing tangible evidence that the product is gaining traction in the market.
