Consumer Electronic Product Prototyping

Consumer Electronic Product Prototyping is essential in the fast-paced technology sector. Our services focus on transforming concepts into functional prototypes quickly and efficiently. We specialize in high-fidelity models for various consumer electronics, adhering to industry standards. Our team provides expertise in developing gadgets, wearable tech, and smart home devices. We offer guidance throughout the prototyping process, ensuring that your innovative ideas are realized with precision and professionalism.

Consumer Products Prototyping & Manufacturing

In the competitive world of consumer products, prototyping and manufacturing play pivotal roles in bringing new ideas to market. Our services in this area are designed to bridge the gap between conceptual design and mass production, ensuring a seamless transition from idea to reality.

Prototyping: The first step in this journey involves turning designs into physical models. We utilize a range of prototyping techniques, including 3D printing, CNC machining, and injection molding, to create accurate and functional prototypes. This phase allows for testing, refinement, and validation of design concepts, ensuring they meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.
Material Selection and Testing: Choosing the right materials is crucial for both prototyping and manufacturing. We focus on selecting materials that not only bring design concepts to life but also ensure durability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with regulatory standards. Our material testing procedures are rigorous, aimed at guaranteeing product safety and longevity.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM): This process involves adapting the design to suit mass production techniques. We analyze the design to identify potential production challenges and make necessary adjustments. This ensures the design is optimized for manufacturing, reducing costs and improving production efficiency.
Small-Scale Production and Pilot Runs: Before full-scale manufacturing, we conduct small-scale production runs. This step is crucial for identifying any potential issues in the manufacturing process and gauging market response to the product.
Full-Scale Manufacturing: Upon successful pilot runs, we move to full-scale manufacturing. This stage involves the use of advanced manufacturing technologies and automation to produce products at scale. We maintain stringent quality control throughout the manufacturing process to ensure each product meets the highest standards.
Feedback and Iteration: Even after the manufacturing process, feedback plays an essential role. We continually gather feedback from the market and iterate on the product design and manufacturing process to respond to customer needs and emerging trends.

Our approach to consumer products prototyping and manufacturing is comprehensive and detail-oriented, aimed at delivering high-quality, market-ready products efficiently and effectively.

Testimonials

I would like to congratulate you and your company with your service and prototyping quality. The communication with our company was very clear and constructive. The prototypes have a very good quality and the delivery speed are fantastic. With your prototypes we can communicate better and faster with our clients and give them a glance of how the product will look and feel like.Ing. Marc E.J. Van Strydonck Industrial designer

Hi HLH, I received the CNC prototypes last week and have spent the past few days assembling them. I would like to thank you and HLH for the work you have done CNC machining these parts and for delivering them to us as quickly as possible. I look forward to working with HLH again as new projects arise in the future.

Jamie Booth

We have always been very impressed by the level of service and quality provided by HLH. HLH gives our company a real competitive advantage in allowing us to provide our clients with quick and cost effective pre-production quality prototypes.

Danny Kane

The prototypes arrived this morning and they look great. Thank you very much for your work on this project and your prompt and thorough communication. We will certainly be in contact again in the future.

Gareth Lauchlan, BDes ID

We have worked with HLH Prototypes on a number of projects over the past year and have always been very satisfied with their services. We have produce with them high quality rapid prototypes for testing before tooling as a means to make sure we have the best design possible.

We will surely be continuing our working relationship with HLH Prototypes in many years to come

Michael Kitchenham

I would like to convey my sincere thanks to your company for all the work you have provided over the past year in helping to create parts for our models and the dedication you brought to our projects.

Not only was the work done to a high standard, and with considerable speed despite the harsh deadlines, but with the kindest and warmest of attitudes. I am delighted to have worked with your company, and would definitely recommend you to others.

Matthew Shaw

Thank you very much again for your teams speed and effectiveness in producing our RP molds. The quality in finish as always was fantastic especially the clear plastic parts.

Our engineers were just commenting on how the quality in the surface and spray finishing are superior to the models that we had received before from other China based RP houses in the past.

Like the previous years, we look forward to displaying your RP models as various international toy trade shows, where they have proven themselves in the past with strength and durability

HLH Prototypes. What can’t they prototype?

We have had everything from soft rubber to hard plastics, various grades of aluminum to stainless steel parts prototyped via HLH to characterize the performance and gain high level of confidence on design months before actual verification parts and data is available. We have used many of their arsenals of processes from SLA, CNC mill, lathe, forming, wire-cutting, EDM, vacuum cast and my favorite – custom springs. Product development is so much more progressive and easier with HLH as your prototype partner.

Product Prototyping Common Applications

Aesthetic models, trade show models, marketing models, prototypes, functional parts, low volume production

Capabilities

At HLH, we manufacture prototype and low-volume rapid parts for consumer product projects via CNC machining, 3D printing, rapid injection molding, die casting, sheet metal, vacuum casting (urethane casting), and more

Consumer Electronic Product Prototyping Tips

Consumer electronics are intense and notoriously competitive. You need the support to be able to bring the highest quality parts to market in the fastest lead times.

Vacuum casting: great for low volume production quality plastics
Rapid injection molding: real production parts from low-cost tooling, reducing risk
3D printing: rapid iterations and low volume parts
