Prototype Manufacturing: From Design to Testing
Prototype manufacturing is the process of producing a preliminary model or sample of a product to test its functionality, design, and other features before mass production. It involves creating a physical model of the product based on the design specifications and requirements.
For many industries, a functional prototype or a presentation mockup is essential to test honest reactions from their potential customers. Hemtom’s services are available for nearly anything that needs to be designed and tested.
Hemtom offers mockups for mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop, headphone, VR glasses, SLR camera, robots, wearable device, drones, watch, communication apparatus, home appliance, automobile, medical device, film props, interior decoration, and many other kinds.
Type of Prototype
You design it, we’ll make it. We specialize in machining various industrial parts, visual prototypes, structural prototype.
Hemtom enables you to get to market faster, before the competition, with cost-effective exterior mockups and prototypes. We have state-of-the-art technology, skilled employees and strong strategic partnerships in order to provide our clients with the highest quality exterior models.
Structural Prototype
The prototype focuses on functionality, and functional mockups confirm the shape, fit, clarity, and interaction of components. Once the system is defined in theoretical terms, engineers and designers are able to test the product to make modifications for optimal functionality, which in turn produces high-quality prototypes suitable for overall fit and function testing, testing functional prototypes before going into production can provide You save a lot of money.
Appearance Prototype
The appearance prototype model can be a physical form, reflecting the designer's creation in a very intuitive way. Exterior mockups are highly visualized product or design concepts. Provides the opportunity to evaluate and improve designs. The use and purpose of appearance mockups can vary widely throughout product development. Compelling functional appearance mockups at later stages can be used to solicit consumer feedback or help secure investment. Buyers or buyers are assured. And it is possible to increase product value at any stage.
