"We need a prototype."
- every serious innovation leader
At Product Creation Studio, we have spent the last two decades focused on strategies and tactics to produce prototypes that demonstrate usability, functionality, feasibility, and aesthetics.
How people react to a new product experience is a complex interaction that can't be predetermined with analysis or “gut feeling”. You must create a means to deliver that experience, or a key portion of it, to learn where to improve in the next iteration. The strategies are in the "when" and "what" to prototype. The tactics are in the “how” to get it done.
Strategic Prototypes to Maximize Your Innovation Budget
Our team of designers and engineers are here to be your divining rod of product development success. We are ready to deploy the latest rapid-prototyping technologies like 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and development platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. They can also advise when it is necessary to step back, identify the right prototype process, develop the necessary partner relationships, and get you the world-class components your technology may demand.
Cross-Domain Experience and Expertise
We work across the domains of materials, fluidics, consumables, electronics, and code to deliver the concept in a form you can evaluate.
Let Product Creation Studio build the right prototype wearable, consumable, instrument, delivery device, or clinical workflow solution that demonstrates your innovation.
