IntroductionThe purpose of this article is to provide an outline on techniques that can be used to prototype an invention and make a small volume production run. This article will not cover the techniques in detail. There are multiple resources available online for each of the techniques mentioned in the article. Rather this article will show how to combine the techniques to produce a prototype and multiple copies. By using these techniques or variations, an inventor or entrepreneur would be able to make a prototype and multiple copies. In addition, by using the techniques I outlined in a previous article I wrote on low costs packaging and inventor or entrepreneur would be able to make a fairly complete product that could be test marketed or presented to a potential licensee.LimitationsFirst some warnings about the techniques outlined below. They are rather labor intensive. Not hard physical work per se, but it does require learning and developing new skills. Further, the number of copies that can be made using silicone molds varies and is dependent on the geometry of the components being molded. Typically the lifetime of a silicone mold… More >>
