About this video
Prototypes are typically expensive, especially when compared to the price of a finished product. Each prototype is unique and requires a custom approach. Reducing the cost of your prototype can be a challenge, but it's not impossible. In this video, we share seven ways you can reduce the cost of your prototype without sacrificing quality or functionality.

Have a product to build?
We handle concept design, engineering, prototyping and manufacturing hand-off in house — the same process shown in these videos.

Almost everything on this channel was produced alongside a real client programme rather than as marketing filler. Some clips are product animations built to explain a mechanism to a licensee or a retail buyer, some document how a prototype was machined, printed or assembled, and some are episodes of our podcast covering developments in product design and manufacturing.
We publish them because most of the questions inventors ask are easier to answer by showing than by describing. Seeing how a part comes off a printer, how an overmoulded grip is cast, or how a concept is judged in a design review tends to settle expectations about cost and schedule far faster than a written explanation.
LA New Product Development Team is a US design, engineering and prototyping group based in Ruston, Louisiana. We take hardware products from an initial idea through research, industrial design, mechanical and electronic engineering, prototyping and a manufacturing hand-off, and every video here comes out of that work.
