pro•to•type
the creation of the first type or model and the simulation of all aspects of a product
Ready, Fire, Aim…. OK, so now the deZein has passed all of its critical reviews, there is consensus to move forward and prove that the deZein is valid. All that is needed now is the first version to test… Some call it Alpha, some Mark I. Ever tried sending out a bunch of engineering detail drawings to a shop for fabrication? If not, you’ll soon discover that some of the parts will actually work – others won’t… Have you ever tried to get some shop to try “something” a little different – perhaps you were successful… When the prototype is built, it must be tested to make sure it works. When it does not, whose fault is it? Software? Controls? Many companies have an in-house capability to create the prototype, taking advantage of talents of those who deZeined it. This is the best option available – when it’s available….. At Fritze DeZein, we have been building hands-on prototypes for two decades, and we call it “hands-on” engineering! Ever wonder why the product is so expensive to manufacture? Did the deZeiner actually have expertise in the fabrication technologies? Was it deZeined for manufacturing? The traditional way to develop a product is to get the designer to draw-up the product while an engineer works-out some problems on paper. Next the drawings are sent to procurement to source and technicians are left to perform the miracles of making it work! There is a superior way. Today, many things are becoming automated and connected to a “closed-loop” control system. The process of creating a prototype should be no different. After years of creating thousands of drawings and specifications, and millions of parts, we have the know-how to deZein the parts to hit the bull’s-eye the first time AND we make certain that they are on course all the way to the target buy completing the loop of deZein – engineering – detailing – fabrication – testing under one roof by the same dedicated talent, Fritze DeZein. At Fritze DeZein, we can make most types of prototypes for you. Your prototype will benefit from a wide range of skilled craftsman, technicians, and machinists. If we don’t have it in-house, we network with resources nationally to make it all happen for you. One Stop Prototyping.
