Varieties of Prototypes & When You Need Them

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesse-faunce-3076433/ Do you need a prototype? What kind and when? What are the different kinds of prototypes and when is it smart to invest in them? Licensing expert Stephen Key interviews Jesse Faunce, a mechanical engineer who helps inventors prototype their inventions. Jesse says: "I am a mechanical engineer and own a small prototyping product development type company. We specialize in taking an idea in the form of a napkin sketch or just a verbal concept from entrepreneurs and inventors, as well as companies that have established products in the market, through to the process of realizing that idea. Sometimes that’s just CAD drawings or 3D models that demonstrate a bunch of different ways to accomplish what they're trying to do. We also prototype 3D models. Sometimes it’s just a quick project that they can hold in their hand, to feel the ergonomics of something, and sometimes it's as basic as working out a mechanism. For example, a client wants to try to fit a mechanism in a certain sized package. Can we do that? Can you work out something? Things like that. Other times, I work with someone who has a product similar to another product, but they want to make it their own. They want to add their own features and that sort of thing and I will take their ideas and put them on paper and put them on the screen so that we can see how the different components will work together. There are a million different things I've done in the past! I’ve worked for a couple of different product development companies. Those products included juvenile sippy cups, utensils, bath slings, potties, all kinds of interesting things like that." Jesse’s company Faunce Enterprises offers affordable engineering, product development, and prototype services for inventors, small companies, entrepreneurs, and large companies as well.
