Prototyping
Prototyping Tailored to Your Product's Evolution
Prototypes play a dynamic role in product development, adapting to the ever-evolving stages of your project. In its early phases, they act as invaluable tools for testing groundbreaking technologies, from innovative materials to fresh concepts and component advancements. Identifying the pivotal questions to answer is our first step, allowing us to design streamlined prototypes. Often, a straightforward functional model is all that's needed. Roobster's reputation is founded on pioneering methods that deliver efficient, cost-effective, and swift functional models, offering critical insights without excessive investment.
As your product matures, the purpose of prototypes transforms. Now, they are crafted to evaluate the synergy among all vital functional components. This phase strikes a delicate balance, maintaining the flexibility to adjust parameters while achieving what we term "management readiness." It involves the ability to modify distances, materials, and components without disassembling the entire prototype after each test. A few tweaks are all that's required, avoiding the need for a complete overhaul. Consequently, these prototypes are not overly rigid, which significantly impacts their presentation during stakeholder interactions.
Furthermore, we offer prototypes that closely resemble the final product, serving as testing grounds with customers and confirming the specified functionalities of components before commencing the tooling process. We maintain a robust network of trusted suppliers, cultivated over years of collaboration. Our capabilities encompass 3D printing for both plastic and metal, custom-bent metal sheets, precision-milled components, versatile composites, and a wide array of standard extrusion components. In addition, we boast the expertise to develop and produce electronic hardware in partnership with our trusted associates. When it comes to embedded software development, we maintain close relationships with several highly skilled partners. Roobster is your comprehensive prototyping solution, catering to your project's unique needs at every stage of development.
