Steps
-
Complete a conceptual sketch of your invention and a detailed drawing. You can make these drawings yourself with pencil and paper or you can hire someone to draw your invention following your instructions.Once you have a detailed drawing of your idea, hire a computer (CAD) expert to draw it on the computer.A CAD drawing is what you will have to show to the person who will make your prototype.
-
Find a place that creates your prototype based on the CAD drawing instructions. If the invention is made of metal, you can also go to a machine shop for your prototype.If it is made of plastic you can get it quickly through a fast prototyping service.This service (rapid prorotyping) can produce your prototype in a few days but it may not be exactly what you will sell.Even certain engineers can build prototypes.
- Get a prototype built of the same material that your final product will be produced from.This will be the test to see if your invention will be functional or not because then you will be able to touch it.Getting a functional prototype is the fastest and sometimes the only way to sell your invention.
-
Have the prototype redone until it works perfectly. You might even get it functional first time, but that's rare.You may have to have several prototypes built and correct them little by little.
-
Produce your functional prototype and present your idea to potential buyers. Now that you know there are no problems you are ready to sell the product.Advertising
Advice
- Better to patent your invention also to ensure that it does not already exist and therefore have problems later.You can do this by hiring a lawyer who can also help you if the invention is original.
- Do the necessary research before hiring someone to do the computer drawing or prototyping.Make sure the invention is useful and doesn't already belong to someone.You'll save money and hassle.
