\"sated-prototyping\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adult toy product design company<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sated Design have many years\u2019 experience producing prototypes for the adult toy industry. They generally fall into five types and cover many applications.<\/p>\n

1. Sex Toy Cosmetic Prototypes \u2013 \u2018looks like\u2019<\/strong><\/b><\/b><\/h2>\n

Used for evaluating product form, feel, ergonomics and styling, we use this prototyping level for marketing, photography, video, and focus groups. This kind of prototype will feature accurate likenesses of product forms, materials, finishes and surface textures but only from one or two elevations. The level of detail and the \u2018wholeness\u2019 of the prototype are often dependent on the application and the client\u2019s budgetary constraints.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Adult Toy Proof of concept Prototypes \u2013 \u2018works like\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A test-rig. This kind of prototype functions electromechanically in the same way as the final product.\u00a0 This type of prototype is very useful as a proof-of-concept, demonstrating novelty for Intellectual Property, or to communicate core functionality. For example suction, vibrator motors, moving parts, or detachable accessories. What it doesn\u2019t do is look exactly like the finished product \u2013 some or all of the external form may be cut away or missing, and the prototype is more \u2018functional\u2019 than cosmetic.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Sex Toy Presentation Prototype<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The prototype is functionally and visually identical to the final product – sufficient to take the design to a meeting with potential buyers or investors, or to trial with product testers. Materials may not be the same as in production, and some manufacturing details such as draft angles will be missing but that would not be apparent. High definition 3D printed parts are common for this kind of prototype.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Pre-production Facsimile Prototype<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Launching a product is a big leap, so it is crucial that our clients are confident that the designs we produce for them are right. To enable our clients to proceed with confidence, we use prototypes which mimic, as closely as possible, the product\u2019s intended mechanical and aesthetic characteristics and manufacturing details. As well as for final sign-off, this kind of prototype is often used for achieving certification. While specific production-grade injection moulding polymers or casting alloys are not always available for prototyping, parts will typically be prepared from the closest possible material.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Sex Toy Prototype tooling<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Where a product requires a very large tooling investment or will be produced in very high quantities, it is often recommended to produce a prototype tool to enable verification of the product before final commitment. These tools are usually single cavity, and made from softer steels or aluminium and can be used to produce small runs (up to 5000 typically) of finished parts. There have even been recent advancements in 3D printed tooling which can save thousands of pounds and cut weeks from the development schedule. Sated Design have experience of helping companies prove and deliver high-stakes tooling and can help your company make the leap with confidence.<\/p>\n
