Test your design before you commit to production. Prototyping bridges the gap between idea and final product, enabling designers and engineers to explore improvements, gather feedback, and verify feasibility. We provide comprehensive prototype development integrated with full fabrication and engineering services.
In-house rapid prototyping: We use 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and electronic assembly to quickly turn designs into physical models you can interact with, test, and iterate.
Look-and-feel + functional prototypes: We build "works-like" models with mechanical movement or electronics. These prototype development outputs are suitable for investor demonstrations, stakeholder reviews, or tradeshow displays.
Our vertically integrated setup gives us supply chain oversight and control over all build stages, ensuring consistent quality and timeline reliability throughout the prototyping process.
Integrated prototype-to-production
With our Concept through Production experience, we support any stage of prototype development. We frequently handle 'protoduction' — that critical stage between prototyping and low-volume production — to ensure your product is ready for the next phase.
Fast Iteration Cycles
Co-located engineering and manufacturing facilities enable real-time feedback and rapid design updates — perfect for proof-of-concept testing, early field units, and stakeholder demos.
Prototyping Support
We support customers with seamless collaboration across design, engineering, fabrication, assembly, and testing teams — all prototyping services under one roof.
Let’s be clear, prototyping and prototype manufacturing are related but not the same:
- Prototyping focuses on designing and building early versions of a product to test form, function, and feasibility. It's iterative, often experimental, and aimed at validating design concepts. Sigma Design's prototyping services help many customers in this critical stage.
Sigma Design offers both prototyping and prototype manufacturing under one roof. With integrated design and build capabilities, we streamline the transition from concept to testable products.
