Transparent, accessible hardware development for entrepreneurs and small businesses
The hardware development industry has been opaque, expensive, and exclusive to big corporations for too long. We’re changing that by making professional product development transparent, accessible, and affordable for solo entrepreneurs and small businesses who want to test their ideas without massive upfront investment.
Get your ideas into physical form quickly with our rapid prototyping services. Using 3D printing, CNC machining, and other advanced techniques, we can have your prototype ready in 1-2 weeks. Perfect for initial concept validation and investor presentations.
Bridge the gap between prototype and mass production with our small batch services. Perfect for market testing, pre-orders, or limited releases. We handle quality control and testing to ensure your product meets standards before scaling up.
Built on years of mechanical engineering expertise, we handle everything from injection-molded plastic products to complex automation systems. Our wide experience across industries means we can design the right solution for your specific needs, optimized for both function and manufacturability.

Our electronics team brings 50+ years of combined experience in robust, dependable design. We specialize in cost-effective solutions including PCB layout, firmware development, multi-layer boards, and compact designs. Perfect for consumer electronics and IoT products.
Software doesn't have to be complex or costly when planned correctly. Our seasoned experts develop dependable, low-cost software solutions. We minimize risks upfront and deliver robust coding solutions that integrate seamlessly with your hardware.
The end goal is always manufacturability. We design products that can be manufactured effectively and cost-efficiently. With in-house electronics production and assembly capabilities, plus 20+ years of overseas manufacturing experience, we bridge the gap from prototype to production.
Understanding your customers is crucial for success. We help you perform early research to define your product in terms of aesthetics, user interface, features, human factors, and pricing strategy. This insight saves money throughout the development process.
We believe in keeping things straightforward. No hidden fees, no surprises—just clear, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
Pricing Estimates
Here’s what you can expect based on your needs:
1. Already have a completed design?
If you just need us to create the physical prototype:
2. Have a design but need prototyping (Build > Test > Improve)?
If your design still needs refinement and testing:
3. Just an idea and need the full process?
If you need help with Research, Design, Prototyping, and Feedback:
Important Note:
These are rough estimates for simple products. More complex designs or ideas may require additional time. Contact us to discuss your specific project, and we’ll provide you with a detailed, customized quote.
We keep things simple, transparent, and efficient so you can bring your product to life without the usual headaches. Here’s how we do it:
We start by understanding your vision. In this step, we’ll discuss:
Once we’ve mapped out your product, we’ll provide a clear, upfront estimate that includes:
No hidden fees. No surprises. Just a straight-up breakdown of what it takes to get your product off the ground.
Once you approve the estimate, we get to work.
This is where your idea takes shape
Every iteration gets you closer to the final product.
Once the prototype is complete, we fine-tune the details:
Once we have the green light, we handle everything to bring your product to life:
If you’re ready to turn your idea into a real, sellable product, we’re here to help—without the insane costs and long wait times.
We discuss your idea, requirements, and goals. No hidden agenda - just honest conversation about what's possible.
Clear breakdown of costs, timeline, and deliverables. You'll know exactly what you're getting and when.
Weekly progress reports with photos, videos, and next steps. You're always in the loop.
Your working prototype delivered within 30 days, along with all documentation and next-step recommendations.
From Prototype to Scalable Product
At PrototyperLab, we go beyond basic prototyping. Our team combines experience in engineering, industrial design, and manufacturing to support startups, makers, and businesses through every stage of product development.
We offer rapid prototyping using 3D printing, CNC machining, silicone molding, and injection molding. These methods are ideal for functional testing, investor presentations, and early customer feedback.
If you are ready to move from prototype to market, we also offer low-volume manufacturing (small batch production). This is ideal for pilot runs, pre-orders, or limited releases without the high costs of full-scale production.
We also support hardware that requires durability and performance. Our services include electronics development, enclosure design, and proof-of-concept builds to help you validate your product before launch.
Our lab is built for fast turnaround, hands-on collaboration, and problem-solving. This gives you a reliable path from idea to market-ready product.
