ESSNPS offers prototyping services to turn concepts into reality – services to suit every need, material, and industry from our team of experts in design and development.
While rapid advances in CAD software has enabled intricate designs, they still need to be prototyped for functional tests and validation. ESSNPS facilitates the process of product development from concept to prototypes, ready for final production. The company has the skills and expertise, to support manufacturers in their endeavor to bring products to the market within the shortest stipulated time.
Virtual prototyping is a very useful way of showing products that have not been built. It saves time and resources by enabling the creation of the prototype that can be presented in business plans, meetings, and to investors. There is no better way to visualize a product considering the time and cost for development.
3D printing refers to the process of producing 3 dimensional solid objects from a computer file in a few hours, rather than days or weeks. It is possible to experience the touch and feel of the product prototype to physically test it and find flaws in the design.
As an interim option between virtual prototype and working prototype, conceptual prototyping helps to bring a realistic model with some functional parts of the whole, rather than a complete model. Also known as a mock-up prototype, this serves limited purpose
Scaled down prototype models are miniature replicas of the final product. They can be used for testing various functional parameters of the product like efficiency, flow, discharge, etc. ESSNPS has the expertise to work on scaled down prototypes with the customers.
ESSNPS specializes in custom fabricated products and machined parts for a wide range of industrial applications. These prototypes are an accurate proof of concept and make great models for the study of form, function and dimensions of the final products that can then go in for mass production.
As a professional service provider, ESSNPS has the necessary expertise in each aspect of prototyping to offer complete solutions, working right from paper drawings to delivering the working prototype, in consultation with the client’s team.
It is said that God is in the details. The experience of professional scrutiny during work is a major advantage for companies who are outsourcing prototyping. The results are not just vital corrections but also fresh ideas to improve the design further based on the interaction.
Outsourcing of prototyping is very cost efficient for companies as they do not have to invest in the facility, which can be very costly. The resources can be better utilized in more productive tasks. More work gets done this way, with the advantage of faster time to market.
One of the most common apprehensions in outsourced services is the fear and worry about intellectual property protection. As a professional organization of high integrity, client confidentiality and the sanctity and safety of their data as well as other information is treated with utmost care. All patents are respected and any possible transgression that is likely to invite litigation is promptly brought to the notice of the concerned parties.
Most small and mid-size companies are always strained for resources. Prototyping for developing new products is an activity that needs a lot of those, besides the infrastructure in terms of software and hardware, machines, etc. This adds to the burden on the manpower and impacts the ongoing projects as well as new product development. Outsourcing of prototyping services to professional agencies gives a better control of the process as it simply has to monitor the progress and approve the developments at every stage, making the necessary changes and modifications at every iteration. The company also benefits from better resources as professional agencies work on the latest facilities available in the market.
The results with outsourcing come out much faster as it actually speeds up the process since you are dealing with professionals with adequate infrastructure and dedicated manpower to complete the task. They are also experts in the business and have a lot of experience with working on prototyping services for various other customers. The client actually benefits from their experience not only in terms of a faster turnover but also through ideas, insights and suggestions born out of this experience. It is like having additional manpower, than what the company would normally have, while attempting to do everything in-house. All this efficiency would translate into the fact that the products can come into the market much faster.
If a company has to invest in a similar set up like the professional agencies, there will be a lot of investment to make for the infrastructure as well as the manpower without having that much development work in the new products all the time. On the other hand, outsourcing allows you to pay only for the services used and get access to all the skills and expertise without all that costly investment. The overall advantages of outsourcing have been well documented today where this has become a trend of lean manufacturing with companies concentrating only on their core competencies and reaping the benefits in the process.
