Having a textile product is one of our favorite products. It eliminates the need for costly manufacturing tooling. This may not sound like a huge deal; but saving $15,000-$20,000 + on manufacturing tooling can be the difference in a large marketing campaign when launching your product, so saving that money is huge. With textiles, we…
Contrary to popular belief, prototyping doesn’t often begin with a final concept that’s ready to be fed into a Rapid Prototyping machine or 3D printer and “printed” in ABS plastic. Clients who come to PRG Prototyping don’t often walk in the door and say, “This 3D CAD drawing is ready to go.” So, it’s important…
In the prototyping business, we tend to talk a lot about the prototyping process – what stages and steps a design concept is expected to move through on its way from rough drawings to a well-developed prototype that can be used to lure investment capital. But for inventors, entrepreneurs, and business owners who are looking…
With the year coming to a close, and a New Year dawning, we look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead in 2013. American ingenuity and entrepreneurship have never been greater. As such, the role of prototyping companies in helping businesses, entrepreneurs, and start-ups to turn their product concepts into tangible models and, in many…

With the advances in prototyping technology – including Rapid Prototyping that makes use of 3D printing equipment – many start-up businesses and entrepreneurs are utilizing prototyping services to help get their product ideas off the drafting board and into manufacturing. And although prototyping services have become very adept at bringing products to life – quickly…
For many inventors, entrepreneurs, and business owners, new product ideas often come faster than solutions that will bring them to market. Since manufacturing production costs can be high, and there is usually little room in a start-up budget for costly manufacturing errors, many businesses and entrepreneurs rely on the prototyping process to help reduce costs,…
New products are constantly appearing on store shelves and in commercials on TV. In fact, so many new products are arriving for consumer purchase every year, it’s a wonder how they’re actually able to move from the concept stage to the finished-product marketing stage in such a short period of time. The answer to this…
The need for high-quality prototyping services is as important to inventors as it is to manufacturers. Prototyping not only brings ideas to life, but it is also a service that is essential to many stages of the manufacturing process. For inventors, prototyping offers the ability to see how a product idea that has only previously…
For inventors and product designers, there’s a bit of electricity in the air when an idea makes the leap from notes and scribblings on cocktail napkins to an artist concept. Most of these artist concepts are two-dimensional images – whether hand-drawn or created using modeling software. And although two-dimensional images are a fair representation of…
