Two Ways to Work Together
We work behind the scenes
PrototyperLab works as your prototyping and manufacturing arm. Your client only ever sees you. You manage the relationship; production and quality control happen quietly on our end.
Send a client, get a commission
Introduce a client directly and get a commission on the resulting project. You stay hands-off after the introduction; we handle the quote, the build, and delivery.
Neither requires exclusivity or a minimum volume to start, and which one fits can change project by project.
How It Works
- A client's design is ready to become a physical product. Send it over with the design files and any specs already worked out.
- A quote comes back within 48 hours, itemized by hour and material, so there's nothing to explain or justify to the client after the fact.
- Production runs through the same process as any direct client: a rapid prototype first, then a small batch run starting at 20 units once the design is approved.
- You stay looped in throughout, so if a manufacturing constraint requires a small design adjustment, it comes through you first, not as a surprise to the client.
- On a whitelabel project, none of this is visible to your client at all. All communication runs through you.
Why Designers Refer Here
- No 500-unit minimums. A client testing a new product doesn't need a factory-scale order first.
- Transparent pricing. $25/hour, itemized, so there's no markup mystery to manage.
- Design intent gets respected. Files come in as designed, not reinterpreted without a conversation first.
- It's not a one-time handoff. Clients who need adjustments or a bigger batch later come back through the same relationship.
