HOW TO INVENT DESIGN

and Prototype a Product: Common Questions Answered

If you have an invention and want to see it reach the market, invent design is a key step that can’t be skipped. This is the process of creating the initial design of your product, considering all its requirements and features. Once the design has been finalized, a prototype manufacturing stage follows in which the digital design is turned into a physical model. In this article, we’ll provide some tips on how to invent design and how to create a prototype of your invention. We’ll also discuss how a professional prototype design company can make the process easier if you need assistance with your invention development.

Discover -> Design -> Prototype -> Manufacture

When developing an invention, it’s important to start by defining the product requirements. What are the features and functions the product must have? What are the target consumers or users of the product? What is the budget for designing and manufacturing the prototype? Answers to these questions will help you create a product that meets all your needs and expectations.

Once the requirements have been defined, it’s time to start sketching out some ideas. This can be done with a simple pencil and paper, or you can use a software program like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. The sketches don’t need to be perfect, they just need to give you an idea of the look and feel of the product.

You can also try LA NPDT’s unique invention development tool – Realizr, which would help to develop better ideas faster while keeping all of them in one place.

If you are a quick learner and technologically savvy, you can try creating CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models of your product using software like Fusion360 or AutoCAD.

After you have a few sketches and/or CAD models, it’s time to start refining the design. This involves creating more detailed drawings and specifications that will be used in the prototype manufacturing stage. You may also need to create a product prototype to test the feasibility of your design. A prototype is a physical model of the product that can be used to verify its functionality and ergonomics.

Prototype Design Company

Designing and manufacturing a prototype can be expensive, so it’s important to work with a company that has experience in creating prototypes within your budget.

When developing a physical product such as a piece of hardware, a tool, a mechanical device, or an electronic product, it’s important to think through how it will be made. Without expertise in manufacturing methods and their limitations, it’s easy to create a design that will not be manufacturable.

This is where a professional prototype design company can be a huge help. They have the experience and knowledge to take your invention design and turn it into a manufacturable prototype. They can also provide advice on materials, manufacturing methods, and cost.

Why hire professional prototyping companies?

“To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.”.
