Casting

2010-06-11 08:56

Casting is one of the most-used processes for inventors that are looking to create a prototype of their patent. Casting is used in most patents, as it helps to provide a mold for specific parts of a product. Casting can handle a wide range of materials, including glass, plastic and metal.

Those who are looking to put together their prototype should know as much as possible about casting. Knowing the possibilities and limitations associated with casting will help inventors to understand how the process fits in with their prototype needs.

Blow Molding

Blow Molding (Prototypes)

Any individual or company that is planning on creating a new product or patenting a new idea needs to completely understand every step of the creation process. This information is important to the patent, as inventors need to carefully detail each aspect of the product to have a solid patent. Blow molding is one of the processes that are often used for prototypes and inventions.

Design Process

The prototype phase of invention and creation is incredibly important. This phase helps inventors to understand whether or not their product works, and whether or not the product will be successful. Countless hours will be put into this process, helping to provide the inventor with a working, functional version of their product.

Electronic Product Assembly

The biggest step that an inventor can take is the step that takes the invention off of the paper and into reality. Creating a prototype is the most important thing that an inventor can do; it helps to bring the invention to life, helping to give possible investors a better understanding as to what the product is and how it works.

PCB Fabrication

Printed circuit boards (PCB) are an important piece for many different inventions, patents and prototypes. These circuit boards help to keep computers running, allowing for the different energy exchanges and connections necessary for an invention to work. PCB fabrication is the process that brings these different circuit boards to life.

Multiple Process Manufacturing

While an invention and prototype may be seen by some as one process, it is seen differently by the manufacturers who are going to have to make that prototype. There are multiple processes that are go into each and every product design. These different processes can include manufacturing processes, like blow molding, injection molding, extrusion and more.

Plastic Product Manufacturing

Plastic is an important tool for inventors who are looking to build prototypes. Plastic can be molded and shaped into practically anything, giving inventors the shapes they need for the parts of their prototypes.

Plastic product manufacturing helps bring these plastic pieces to life. Plastic product manufacturers may be able to provide one-offs for companies that are looking to create pieces for their prototypes. Manufacturers can also be turned to for mass-produced parts as the inventor looks to create and sell multiple products.

Product Design

Product design is the most important thing for inventors to focus on as they work to turn their ideas and patents into actual prototypes. Product design is the determining factor in the success, or failure, of a product and idea. Product design focuses on the look, feel and actions of the actual prototype.

Product Feasibility

2010-06-11 11:20

There are plenty of different ideas, inventions and prototypes that are not feasible. While an idea may be perfect, the inventor simply doesn’t have the means to produce the product. Inventors need to take a serious look at three major aspects of product feasibility to understand whether or not their prototypes have a chance at success.

Cost

Project Costing

2010-06-11 11:23

One of the most important things for inventors to understand about their prototypes is the overall cost of that prototype. Inventors and the investors in those prototypes must understand how much it costs to create one single prototype or product. From that point, investors and inventors can figure out whether or not their current prototype design is feasible.

There is a variety of aspects that can affect the overall cost of the project. Project costing works to understand all of these costs, bringing them together in one report to show the overall cost of the product.
