Prototyping
Innovation stage: explore and validate the idea
At the innovation stage, prototyping is about testing a new idea and learning from it. We build conceptual, physical and functional prototypes so you can validate and improve the concept, and we document the design as we go. If your product is ready for production, there is a manufacturing-stage version of this service.

Who it’s for
- You have a concept and need to see whether it works in practice.
- You want something tangible to test with users or show to investors.
- You are refining a design and want to try versions before choosing one.
What you get
- Conceptual prototypes, such as sketches, paper prototypes or digital wireframes.
- Physical prototypes of the product or its components in materials such as foam, plastic or metal, for physical validation.
- Functional prototypes where needed, which can include working electronics, mechanical components or software simulations.
- Detailed technical documentation, including design specifications and CAD files.
Not included
- Third-party costs (for example materials, machining or electronic components).
Third-party costs, taxes and expenses are billed separately unless your proposal states otherwise.
