Prototype Iteration

Big Concept / Big Dreams

Turn your market‑driven idea into a crystal‑clear product concept. We map the target audience, validate the problem you’re solving and outline key value points. The result is a high‑level sketch and a rough cost estimate that lets you decide whether to move forward.

Refine & Define the MVP

Schematic In KiCad

Identify the absolute‑must features that deliver real value to your first customers. We rank every function with a value‑vs‑effort matrix so you know exactly what belongs in version 1.0. Early feasibility checks (quick component research and a breadboard “smoke test”) de‑risk the scope.

Stages of Prototyping

We start with a solder‑less breadboard to verify core logic and sensor integration in hours, not days. Once the circuit is proven we move to a soldered prototype that mimics the final board layout. The functional PCB lets you run real power‑up, timing and signal‑integrity tests before any tooling.

Form Factor Testing Prototype

Using a 3‑D printed or CNC‑machined shell we verify that every component, connector and button fits exactly as designed. This step is where a custom test fixture becomes a reality – you can check mounting points, cable routing and ergonomics before committing to metal tooling. Any mechanical tweaks are made now, saving costly re‑work later in production.

Production‑Ready Design

We hand‑off a complete, DFM‑checked package: final Gerbers, pick‑and‑place files, an annotated BOM and a full assembly drawing. All documentation (schematic PDF, revision log, component lifecycle status) is bundled for your contract manufacturer. Test fixtures and automated test scripts are included so the first production run can be verified 100 % automatically.

After launch we collect field data, support tickets and usage analytics to spot the next set of high‑impact improvements. New feature concepts are run through the same value‑vs‑effort matrix you used for the MVP, keeping development focused on ROI. The cycle then restarts at “Big Concept”, allowing your product—or custom test fixture—to evolve continuously.
