You may be considering having your product idea manufactured, but first, you should consider starting with a prototype. Read on to learn the benefits of prototyping.
A prototype is a manufactured original sample model used to test, learn, and replicate. Prototyping is necessary because it provides a real-life test of your design and its functions and allows the manufacturer to get familiar with the product before potential full production.
While the cost of a one-off unit for prototyping can be seen as a potential downside, we think it’s essential to bringing a product to market. If you go all in without first testing a prototype, you could end up with a whole batch of units with errors, costing you a lot more.
