We Help From
Prototyping to Production
01 Prototyping
Our advanced rapid prototyping services provide an efficient and cost-effective way to create models for rapid testing. At this stage, we offer flexible prototyping solutions to match your specific requirements. By utilizing cost-effective materials and production methods, we bring your near-final product designs to reality.
- Low-volume prototyping and short-term production support
- Rapid tooling for accelerated design cycles
- Functional prototypes for concept modeling
- Quick concept validation
02 Engineering Validation and Testing
Confirm that every performance aspect is met with functional prototypes that accurately represent your final product concept. At this stage, our team of experienced engineers and technicians use advanced techniques and equipment to test and validate your products to the highest standards. We provide comprehensive test reports, detailing the results and performance of your products.
- High-quality design options

- Extensive quality management plans
Consumer Products FAQs
Prototyping allows designers and engineers to visualize and test ideas, identify design flaws, gather user feedback, and reduce product development costs and risks.
Common materials include plastics (e.g., ABS, Acylic, PC), metals (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel), and composites (e.g., carbon fiber). The choice depends on the function and aesthetics required.
Technologies include 3D printing, CNC machining, silicone molding and sheet metal fabrication etc. Each method has its own advantages based on precision, material, and cost.
There are several types of prototypes used in consumer product development:
Low-Fidelity Prototypes: These are basic representations of a product, often made from paper or cardboard. They are useful for initial brainstorming sessions and gathering early feedback.
High-Fidelity Prototypes: These prototypes closely resemble the final product in terms of appearance and functionality. They may be created using advanced materials and technologies such as 3D printing.
Functional Prototypes: These models focus on testing specific functionalities or features rather than aesthetics. They help assess performance under real-world conditions.
Visual Prototypes: These emphasize the look and feel of a product without necessarily functioning like the final version. They are often used for marketing purposes or stakeholder presentations.
The choice of materials for prototyping varies based on the type of prototype being developed:
Foam Board/Cardboard: Commonly used for low-fidelity prototypes due to their ease of manipulation.
Plastic (e.g., ABS, PLA): Frequently utilized in 3D printing high-fidelity prototypes because they can mimic the properties of final products.
Silicone/Rubber: Often used for functional prototypes where flexibility and durability are needed.
Metal Components: Sometimes incorporated into high-fidelity prototypes to test mechanical functions accurately.
At NPI, we take the confidentiality of client designs and intellectual property very seriously. We have strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in place and follow industry best practices for data security and privacy protection.
Consider factors like the product’s intended use, mechanical properties, thermal properties, and aesthetic requirements. Or just consult us directly, our expertise can help you find the most suitable material.
