Prototype Manufacturing and Machining Services in China

Designing a new product and then jumping straight to production without first making a prototype to test is like playing Russian Roulette with 5 bullets in the chamber.  

Imagine importing hundreds or thousands of a product that were defective, just because the product hadn't been prototyped and tested. It wouldn't be your best day.

Manufacturers produce product based on the prints (engineer's drawings) or samples provided. Factories are not responsible for defective product if the prints or sample are not representative of the final product you want.

The only way to know if your product functions properly is to produce a prototype and then test it.  Having a good prototype made is also needed for market research so you have a tangible, working representation of your product to show your customers.

When you're ready to go into production and have large quantities of your product made, the manufacturer will need prints showing all dimensions and specs of the product, and/or a complete sample.

We work with several excellent companies in the U.S. that do engineering and prototyping who we can refer you to. (Mike Genung wrote an in-depth article on why you should prototype and engineer your product in the U.S. as opposed to China in the July 2011 newsletter.) If you're ready to go into production now and have engineer's drawings already made, some Chinese factories will make a prototype for you in lieu of a production order.
