There is no doubt that prototyping is an invaluable tool in the development stage of products and projects.
We believe it offers 4 key benefits for you.
- Flexibility to create solid objects for early evaluation,
- This then leads into design improvements and fine-tuning, which we find ends up with
- Increased finished product quality and finally
- It delivers certainty for the development process.
All of which enable you to showcase the product or project at a developed stage, thus reducing risk in the production process
Prototyping in the far east may seem like a logical step due to costs, but given the lack of control and extended lead times, not to mention the evaluation and sign-off lead times, manufacturing rapid prototypes in the UK is no doubt a very cost-effective and time-saving way of managing your NPD process.
