Why Prototype?
Prototypes are an essential part of bringing
any new product from a conceptual stage to a mass-produced product.
Here are a few reasons as to why:
1) A design is a great theoretical model, however no design
can predict the surprises and “bugs” that occur in an actual
working model. A prototype is used to find and eliminate all
of those “bugs” before they become a mass-produced problem.
This assures that there will be no future surprises, saving
you both time and money.
2) In order to have a product mass-produced, many inventors
seek funding from Venture Capitalists, licensing agents, investors,
etc. In this case, the prototype is used as a demonstration
tool to fully explain the product, what it looks like, and how
it works. Any one of these parties are more likely to buy into
your idea if they can really understand your idea.
3) Another great reason to prototype is to begin your marketing
initiative before mass production. Prototypes are great for use
at trade-shows to gain feedback, or for product pictures to be used
on brochures, flyers, etc.
Our Prototyping Capabilities
Turnkey Solutions
Bringing a product from concept to market requires many more
functions that just prototyping the idea. You must patent your
idea, market your idea, maybe even license your idea. IMET Corporation
DOES NOT perform any of these functions in-house, however we
CAN bring in other firms to work with you. By streamlining the
process in this way, we minimize the amount of time and effort
you have to spend on the entire process. Your turnkey solution
is just that; it is YOURS. We custom design your solution to
meet your exact needs. We can provide any or all of the following
services, in addition to our core competency of design and prototyping.
