Product Prototyping
Our integrated approach to the design process incorporates the option to include prototyping and rigorous testing phases into your in-house manufacturing processes. This means we never miss an opportunity to recommend, implement and improve the products we develop, ongoing optimum performance and survival.
Our in-house prototyping capabilities enables the creation of your concept to gain insight into how the product works and provides the opportunity to address any pain points.
Our industrial prototyping capabilities
APC Technology’s prototyping capabilities give us the ability to progress from concept to sample in a matter of hours.
With the addition of a rapid response service model, we exceed our customers’ expectations and successfully shorten your product commercialisation time.
Our rapid response model
Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, certified team and creative problem-solving are critical to compete in your industry. This is why we have developed a rapid response model that allows us to;
- Realise concepts more quickly
- Be more efficient in time and costs
- Better understand material properties and design limits with working models
All of which allows us to deliver a more viable and tangible product.
APC Technology collaborates with product innovators to stay in front of technical issues before finalising the finished product design. No matter the complexity of your prototyping requirements, our team can assist in the following areas:
- Provide mock-up samples and prototype designs throughout your product development process
- Extensive testing on all mock-ups
- Conduct production assessment
- Conduct pilot runs and mass production planning of your project
Our current in-house capabilities include:
- 3D printing in ABS
- Industrial laser cutting and engraving
- Machining
- Fabrication
- Powder coating
- Prototyping using materials to suit requirement including plastic, wood, stainless steel
How can APC Technology help you?
