In the inventing process, creating a plastic prototype is considered to be one of the steps you take at the beginning. A prototype basically refers to the three dimensional version of your vision. Product prototyping could also be a fun and a rewarding experience while undergoing the inventing process. It provides you the luxury to truly express you creative nature while developing a prototype. Whether you make your own prototype or hire an engineer to do it for you, it is always going to be satisfying as long as the idea came from you and to see it being transformed to something concrete and real is even more gratifying.
Each prototype could vary in appearance. It would naturally depend on your idea, your budget, and your goals. It is best advised to start with handmade prototypes no matter how basic if given the chance. You could do a trial product prototyping by using some household items such as socks, empty milk containers, household glue, diaper tabs, and the like. It could be as good as the more costly materials especially if it works for primary demonstration purposes.
But when the time comes that you are ready to take the next step with your invention, a pre-production prototype is what you would probably need specifically if you are not planning to license your invention and try to manufacture it as your own.
Creating a prototype provides a lot of advantages, one of these is that it would enable you to test and refine the functionality of your design. This is very important as not all ideas are good to go until you start creating the 3D version of it. It is a known fact that you would never know the design flaws and concerns until you actually begin transforming your theory into reality. Another reason to make a plastic prototype is that it would surely help you make a more effective description of your product to your entire team which composes of your marketing officer, engineers, and prospected business partners.
Making a prototype would give people the notion that you are really serious on what you are trying to accomplish. It is very professional like to arrive in a presentation with a prototype as to compare to approaching potential partners with only ideas and theories that are in your mind. A visual representation always catches anyone's attention.
