Automated Mail Notifier

Image
Our thoughts regarding physical mail and posts is that it is diminishing over time. But, still some of our important documents are still sent through physical mail. Most of have a post box out of our house, and some live in an apartment and that also have an array of post boxes of houses. What if we don't check our mail box regularly? A gentlemen was not a big fan of Physical mail, and one day a tax bill was sent to his home and it was rested in the post box for about a month. This man was not aware of this and resulted him to pay the bill immediately with a penalty. If he checked the mail box he could have saved some amount of his money and his temper. That gentlemen wanted to have a solution for this, but he doesn't like to check that post box every time. So, if we have an Arduino we have the solution. This system notifies the user whenever there is a mail and hence avoiding the need to check for mail frequently. This project is based on RF module (RF Transmit

Cheap Heart Rate Monitor

Image
Everybody want to be healthy, and people measure three main parameters to define them selves as healthy or not. Body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate are the very basic things we measure to in order to stay healthy. To measure the Heart beat rate we can simply hold ones wrist and measure but, it is not that practical. Other way is to use a heart rate monitor, but they are quite expensive. As hobbyist and engineers we planned to create a Heart rate monitor using Arduino. A Heartbeat sensor is used to create this Heart rate monitor. This project was brought to us by a Bio Medical enthusiast, and he wanted to go an extra mile with this project. The sensor used in this project is a Hearbeat sensor which is compatible with Arduino. Heart beat sensor is available in may of the devices that we use in our day to day activities such as wrist watch, smart phone, chest strap and etc. Heart beat sensor consist of two parts as shown in the figure below, This sensor have

Automated Liquid level controlling and monitoring system

Image
Plonnnaruwa is a remote in Sri Lanka and Water is very precious in that area. But, one of the student in Polonnaruwa noticed that a considerable amount of water is being wasted in houses through their water tank. So, he wanted to stop this wastage and he wanted an innovative approach to this problem. He presented his idea to Prototyping innovation and we have worked out designed a system to stop this wastage and save water. This system checks the liquid level of a tank and supply liquid to the tank when necessary. When the liquid level of the tank is low then the liquid is pumped to the tank automatically by opening the liquid inlet valve and vice versa. And, this system also measures the liquid level in the tank (centimeter), and the volume of the liquid inside the tank (liter), and when the liquid is filling in the tank the water level at that moment and also the liquid flow rate and it is displayed in the LCD attached to the system.  When the liquid level in the tank i

Chop Mate the New Chopping Board For your Kitchen

An innovative chopping board prototype design that is folding and can be turned into a bowl and back again for transporting chopped vegetables and meat to a pan for cooking.  Prototyping Innovation Sri Lanka's First and only Hardware Innovation Lab in their journey of converting any idea into a physical product, I have developed this design to make food preparation easier, safe and more fun.  This designed is easy to use and easy to clean.  This is just a prototype and in mass production this would be produced from safe plastic with live joints so that it can be manufactured as a single part. Please do share your thoughts on this innovative design and get ready to have one in your kitchen. If you want to experience this new chopping board or if you are willing to help us in mass production please contact us,  prototypeinn@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/prototypeinn/ Subscribe to Youtube

Resin Casting For Prototypes and Pilot Production for the First Time from Prototyping Innovation.

We all have a general myth that a prototype can only be made using a 3D printer or laser cuting material. But, in prototyping innovation we use the best available technology to give the most innovative solution. Today we share some of the most valuable knowledge and techniques we use to make prototypes. And, what is resin casting and why that is useful when you are making a prototypes? Mechanical Engineer, product developer and industry expert Gabe Corbet explains the use of resin casting and the process of making a mold. Mold making video will be uploaded very soon and If you want to make a resin cast prototype please feel free to contact Prototyping Innovation at anytime.  https://www.facebook.com/prototypeinn/ email - prototypeinn@gmail.com via messenger - @prototypeinn

Why Select Prototyping Innovation (Pro-I) as your solution provider?

Image
Imagine that you saw that your great grandma or an old lady near your place is struggling to chop vegetables and you decided to help her by making a vegetable chopper where she can easily chop vegetables. Now that you have an idea but, you don't really know how to make it. So, you go to a prototyping lab or service like Prototyping innovation (Pro-I) and you present your idea to them. They will hold discussions with you and they will start working on your project as teams. ONe team will draw the product as a sketch on a paper and one team will develop the Mechanics behind the project.  Now they will combine both the mechanics and the sketch to develop a CAD model. From the CAD model they will build a prototype and will present to you.  You will see how it's working and if you are satisfied you are happy, they are happy and so, what's more. Now Imagine you bring the same idea to us, Prototyping innovation First thing we do at our Lab is Research, we think from the

Engineering behind Product Development and Prototyping

Image
There are many prototyping services in the country, but how many of them know the engineering behind product development and prototyping? Yes almost 90% of them don't know the engineering behind product development and prototyping.  Prototyping Innovation (Pro-I) which was founded by Engineers know how to create and innovate in the right way. Your ideas will be given lives in our innovation lab in the right way, So feel free to contact us for your innovative ideas and projects.  We are far beyond a normal prototyping and product development studio.   Why prototypes are useful? Ability to visualise the idea Ablility to perform tests including aesthetic test Ability to do real time simulation analysing For all these above mentioned and many other reasons Prototyping is very important. What are the prototyping processes available? 3D printing Resin casting  Injection molding  2D pattern CNC machining 3D Printing Usually pe
