From prototype to first run

We help you move from a validated prototype to a first run, defining the product version and references for repeat manufacture.

Prepare the version you will produce

Plan a first short run or repeatable production with reference samples. Before making multiple pieces, establish the design, material and finish the production must follow.

How we work with you

We review the prototype and available files, separate outstanding changes from production preparation, and agree the sample that will guide the run.

What we can do

  • · First short run
  • · Repeatable run
  • · Reference samples

Who it's for

  • · Validated products ready to sell

What we need to quote

Share the validated prototype, its files and initial quantity. Note any changes from the sample and expected repeat orders so we can assess preparation and production continuity.

Questions about your project

What is needed for a first production run?

Share the validated prototype, available files and intended quantity. The service covers first runs, repeatable production and reference samples, with conditions assessed for the product.

How do you prepare a first run from my prototype?

We review the validated version, files and quantity and agree a reference sample. Outstanding changes are separated from preparing the production run.

What should I send for a quote?

Share the validated prototype, its files and initial quantity. Note any changes from the sample and expected repeat orders so we can assess preparation and production continuity.
