How can I have a prototype made of my invention?

Answer by  tschebyshev (252)

There are all sorts of companies that specialize in making prototypes. Search for "rapid prototyping" to get a feel for the industry. They type of technology you use for your prototype will really be determined by the nature of your invention.

Research manufacturers in the product market that your product represents and contact a few of them to see if they would be interested in creating a prototype. Most manufacturers take only large quantity orders due to the cost of producing a single item.

Presuming that you require a working-propotype to file your U.S.-patent-application? First, have a non-disclosure-agreement drafted. BEFORE you discuss your-invention with ANYONE in more than general-terms; have them, a notary-public, (2)witnesses, & you ALL sign your-non-disclosure-agreement. This provides some-limited-legal-protection prior to your-patent. Contact rapid-development or rapid-prototyping organizations and request price-quotations. Alternatively, depending on your-invention, you might convert/modify an existing-product into your-invention?
