Wood Products and Furniture Prototyping — Vietnam
Prototype Your Wood Product or Furniture Idea
Handcrafted hardwood enclosures, decorative sculpture, flatpack furniture, and electronics embedded in wood.
Wood products we have built
Real products built in our Vietnam facility.
Our own product — wood and electronics hybrid
AutoBowl 2.0 — ash hardwood base with motor, timing circuit, and three analog dials
A product we designed and built ourselves under our OHMDAILY brand. Precision-milled ash hardwood base, three analog wooden dials controlling timing and mode, motor mechanism, and electronics cavity — all designed together from day one.
Material: Ash hardwood | Electronics: Motor + dials + timing circuit | Brand: OHMDAILY
Example 2 — CNC wood wall art / Etsy and Kickstarter
Enjoy The Wood — a wooden world map built for one office became an $800,000 Kickstarter
Igor Poroshyn built a CNC-cut layered wood world map for his own office wall and put it on Etsy. The 2021 Kickstarter raised $800,000 in 30 days with 3,474 backers. The prototype was the product. The first version on Etsy was the test. Every campaign after was funded by the validation of the one before.
Material: CNC layered wood panels | Platform: Etsy + Kickstarter | Raised: $800,000+ in one campaign
Example 3 — furniture and audio products
Frailey Woodworks — vinyl record consoles and sit/stand desks at $30,000 per month
James Frailey started Frailey Woodworks around a Thanksgiving table in 2019. Solid hardwood vinyl record consoles engineered for real audio equipment weight and vibration. Precision dado and mortise-and-tenon joinery. $30,000/month with a team of six. It started with a prototype built over a holiday weekend.
Material: Solid hardwood | Products: Vinyl consoles and sit/stand desks | Revenue: $30,000/month

What our clients say
Worked with PrototyperLab from design through to prototyping and the experience was excellent throughout. Their engineers were rigorous, communication was clear, and they took the time to answer every technical question properly rather than rushing. The final prototypes exceeded my expectations. Would happily work with them again.
Marwane BTrustpilot review, FrancePrototyperLab 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.
Jared StephensUNICONFETTI, Entrepreneur, UKWe 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.
DanneOWLHAUS, Founder, USSuperb 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.
Chico HuntEntrepreneur, DubaiWe 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.
Torotic FounderTOROTIC, Education Hardware, Vietnam…From day one, they’ve treated my project with professionalism, honesty, and genuine enthusiasm. Communication has been outstanding, they’re upfront about costs and timelines, and they’ve made the entire process feel approachable for a solo entrepreneur… They can help with the entire journey—from an idea, to design, prototyping, manufacturing, and even guidance on e-commerce and fulfillment. If you’re a small business owner, inventor, or entrepreneur looking for a team that truly supports you, I highly recommend them. I’m already looking forward to working with them on my next product.

What we promise on every project
We believe in fair, transparent, and results-driven partnerships. Here’s what you can count on.
No upfront payment until you approve the quote
Getting a quote is fast, hassle-free, and completely risk-free. You won’t pay a dime until you approve the full project estimate.
No extra charges for delays on our end
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.
A fully tested, working product
We don’t just build prototypes — we ensure they function as intended before delivery. You receive a working product, not a visual model.
On-time delivery
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.
No hidden fees in production
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.
US-based contracts and legal protection
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.
Milestone approval, every step
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.
Direct engineer access on every project
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.
Frequently asked questions
What wood species do you work with?
Ash, walnut, maple, oak, teak, mahogany, cedar, pine, poplar, MDF, plywood, and bamboo. We source locally in Vietnam where possible and can accommodate specific species requests.
Can you embed electronics inside wooden products?
Yes. We design the electronics cavity, wiring channels, mounting points, and ventilation as part of the wood product design from day one — not as an afterthought.
Do you design for flatpack assembly?
Yes. We design flatpack products with CNC-cut joinery (dado, rabbet, mortise-and-tenon, box joints) that ship flat and assemble without tools or with minimal hardware.
How long does a wooden product prototype take?
Simple single-piece products: 2 to 3 weeks. Multi-piece furniture or assemblies: 4 to 6 weeks. Electronics-integrated wood products: 6 to 10 weeks. Your quote includes a specific timeline.
Can you produce decorative wall art and sculpture in wood?
Yes. We produce CNC-cut layered wall art, carved decorative panels, sculptural objects, and architectural installation pieces in a wide range of wood species and finishes.
