Our Process
Transparent and efficient. You approve every step before we move to the next.
Step 01
We map out your product — what it does, who it’s for, what it’s made of, and how many units you need. No jargon. Just the right questions.
Step 02
A clear, itemized quote at $25/hr plus materials. Every cost visible before you commit to anything.
Step 03
We review existing products and patents and present design options before any build begins. Changes at this stage cost nothing.
Step 04
We build, test, and refine. You approve each milestone before we move forward. No black boxes.
Step 05
Production sampling, full manufacturing run, QC inspection, and shipping. Direct to Amazon FBA for sellers who need it.
Client Reviews
★★★★★
PrototyperLab were quick and efficient — had our first prototype ready in just two weeks. The whole process was low-risk, making it easy to test new products with our existing customers. At first, I thought we’d use them for development and then move mass production to our factory in China, but their pricing was very competitive. Keeping production with PrototyperLab meant better quality control and ongoing improvements, so there was no reason to take the risk of moving it elsewhere.

★★★★★
We found PrototyperLab through a recommendation from another brand, and to be honest, we weren’t sure what to expect. We shared one of our new product ideas and its use case, and within a few days, they had a physical plastic prototype ready. I was seriously impressed. The pricing is super reasonable, which means we can test out even more product ideas, especially those with electronics or automation. It’s a huge time-saver for us, letting our team focus more on launching and marketing instead of getting stuck in long development cycles.

★★★★★
We wanted a functional, expandable robot that didn’t blow our budget. PrototyperLab helped us make it real — fast. 690 engineering hours covering hardware, firmware, and a 150-hour STEM curriculum developed alongside the product. The 20-unit production run validated demand before we committed to scaling.

Superb company and service. Tai and his team have been super helpful, responsive and hands on in assisting with prototype design and production, rapid turnaround on queries and fairly priced. I continue to use them beyond the initial services I engaged them on. Trust worthy and reliable. Highly recommend

Built for founders, not corporations
The hardware development industry has been opaque, expensive, and exclusive to large corporations for too long. Every quote is itemized. Every milestone is approved by you. Every file you pay for belongs to you.
We are a US-registered company with a production facility in Hanoi, Vietnam. Clients across the US — Atlanta, Austin, New York, Los Angeles — work with us because we move fast, communicate clearly, and protect your IP from day one.
Our Guarantee
We believe in fair, transparent, and results-driven partnerships. Here’s what you can count on.
01
Getting a quote is fast, hassle-free, and completely risk-free. You won’t pay a dime until you approve the full project estimate.
02
If we take longer than the quoted hours to complete your project, you won’t pay for the extra time. The quoted hours are the ceiling, not an estimate.
03
We don’t just build prototypes — we ensure they function as intended before delivery. You receive a working product, not a visual model.
04
Your prototype will be in your hands within the agreed timeline. If something changes on our end, we tell you immediately — not after the fact.
05
We don’t mark up material or production costs. Our entire profit margin comes only from our engineers’ $25/hr rate. Materials are passed through at cost.
06
We are a US-registered company. All contracts and payments are handled within the US, so there’s no risk of dealing with international disputes or unenforceable agreements.
07
You approve CAD designs, prototype photos, and production samples before we proceed to the next stage. No stage begins without your sign-off. No black boxes, no surprises.
08
Your project gets one or two dedicated engineers from start to finish. No sales reps, no account managers, no communication layers — just you and the people actually building your product.

Most prototypes are completed in 25 to 35 days from brief confirmation to physical delivery. Electronics-integrated products typically take 6 to 12 weeks. Children’s products requiring CPSC testing add 2 to 4 weeks for lab turnaround. Your quote includes a specific, confirmed timeline.
Our base rate is $25 per engineering hour plus material costs. Simple single-feature products start from $2,500. More complex products with multiple parts, electronics, or custom tooling cost more. Every project is quoted individually with a full line-item breakdown before you commit to anything.
Yes. The majority of our clients are outside Atlanta — across the US and internationally. We work entirely remotely via milestone-based approvals, photos, videos, and calls. You never need to visit our facility in Vietnam.
You do. All CAD files, schematics, firmware, and any other work product belongs to you once the project is paid in full. We work under work-for-hire terms with US contracts. We sign a mutual NDA before anything is shared.
Yes. Once your prototype is approved, we move directly to small batch manufacturing starting at 20 units. For injection-molded products, we build aluminum molds for small batch runs or steel molds for production-scale volumes. The same team handles the full journey.
Send us your idea and we will have a detailed, itemized quote back within 48 hours. No commitment required. NDA signed before anything is shared.
