Learn about the benefits of prototype custom cases.
Designing the perfect custom case for your product or device is an exciting process, especially if you are going to be investing a large amount of money into multiple custom cases for products. A prototype doesn’t just allow you a glimpse of what the finished product will look like; it also allows you to identify potential problems before you have 1,000 identical faulty custom cases on your hands! Here are three important advantages of investing in a prototype custom case before making your final order.
Testing and Functionality
Your custom case needs to perform in a variety of situations and conditions, especially if you have added water-tight or pressure valve capabilities. Unfortunately, there is no physical way to test whether your features work together as intended unless you order a prototype. A prototype will find simple flaws and design errors that would be hard to catch otherwise, like placing something too close to the handle or having multiple features that overlap so that none are effective. Almost every custom case designer who orders a prototype will find at least one issue that should be fixed before mass manufacturing.
Try Out Different Materials
There are multiple custom case materials on the market, including durable aluminum and flexible plastic. You might already have one or the other in mind for your product, but ordering a prototype will allow you to try them on for size in person and see which is the best match for you. If plastic performs better and is more affordable, it will be the obvious choice.
Your Team Can See Your Vision
Finally, many team members are consulting on the custom case itself and the product that will be going inside of it. A prototype is an awesome way to help make the vision reality and give your whole team a glimpse of the actual end goal.
