You might want a prototype of your product idea and perhaps product packaging to test manufacturing, marketing, cost, quality, materials, and other ideas. To create a product prototype, you will need CAD and CAM data. To create a packaging prototype, you will need packaging drawings. These items can be created by you, by others, or you can use the info created by 3DWorxs during the design step.
3DWorxs focuses on creating 3D printed prototypes as well as custom packaging. Because of this focus, you might contact 3DWorxs to discuss creating your prototypes. Prototyping discussions are free of charge.
As with the brainstorming and the design steps, typically you would work with a 3DWorxs project manager during the prototyping step to ensure a through understanding of the CAD/CAM info and packaging drawings and to:
As with brainstorming and design, you and the project manager might decide to involve others during this step to address other prototyping questions and concerns. For example, you might want insights and experiences from 3DWorxs artists, industrial designers, or engineering specialists. Understanding your prototype needs might involve multiple remote or on-site meetings. Again, prototype discussions are free of charge.
At some point during the prototyping discussions, you might decide to order a 3D printed prototype of your product idea and perhaps a packaging prototype too. These items would be your propriety property.
To order prototypes, 3DWorxs would provide you with a services and deliverables quotation. Your order for the quoted items would be subject to the 3DWorxs Service Terms.
Creating prototypes can be an iterative process leading to your satisfaction with prototypes. Accordingly, material changes to your initial order may, at the discretion of the project manager, require a new quotation.
Example
The prototype part shown above is an example of a 3D printed prototype design for the Hero Rodeo SideKick. This new design is for kids to practice rodeo roping. It is shown with a kid size rope attached (used by permission)
Once you are satisfied with the prototype of your product design idea and packaging, you might decide to go to the order fulfillment and manufacturing steps. Order fulfillment is the process of receiving orders for your product, packaging, shipping, invoicing, returns and collections. Inventory management might also be an important part of order fulfillment. Manufacturing is the processing of actually making your product and packaging for shipment or inventory.
You might decide to manufacture your newly developed product and packaging as well as manage the order fulfillment process. However, 3DWorxs can help with all or portions of those important order fulfillment and manufacturing business steps.
