DISCIPLINES

Prototyping

We design, build, and test prototypes at every stage of development. Each build gives you real data on form, function, and usability, so design decisions are based on evidence rather than assumptions.

Overview

Prototyping is how a device design is tested in the physical world before it is committed to production. We help biomedical innovators move from early feasibility models to design prototypes and on to verification and validation builds made with processes representative of commercial manufacturing. Each stage resolves risks earlier, when changes cost less. The result is a design proven through progressively more rigorous builds and ready for production.

What prototyping covers

Prototyping turns designs into physical devices you can test, evaluate, and improve. Our work matches each build to the questions your program needs answered at that stage.

  • Feasibility Prototypes

    Early builds that explore and refine form, function, and usability through informal testing, with design control documentation started to support the design history file.

  • Design Prototypes

    Rapid prototypes and short-run tooling that assess function, gather user feedback, and support preliminary manufacturing processes and pre-verification testing.

  • Verification & Validation Prototypes

    Builds made with released procedures, representative manufacturing processes, and full material traceability, packaged and sterilized for testing when required.

Where prototyping shows up

Prototyping should begin as soon as a concept needs to be tested and continue through validation. The rigor of each build increases as the design matures.

PHASE 0

Concept Generation

Supports early models that visualize how concepts might look and function.

PHASE 1

Concept Development

Leads feasibility and alpha prototype builds.

PHASE 2

Design & Development

Leads design prototypes and pre-verification builds.

PHASE 3

Verification & Validation

Leads verification and validation prototype builds.

PHASE 4

Design Transfer

Not involved.

The ROI on better prototyping

Every prototype is a chance to find problems before they reach production. A structured prototyping program reduces late-stage redesigns and builds confidence in the design at each step.

Superior Quality

Designs tested and refined through progressively more rigorous builds.

Lower Development Costs

Issues found early, when design changes cost the least.

Faster Time to Market

Prototypes ready for verification and validation testing on schedule.

Protectable IP

Working prototypes that demonstrate and document your innovation.
