Engineering behind Product Development and Prototyping


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 people don't consider about the types of 3D printers, instead they simply categorize all 3D printers under the same group and give the most generic name 3D printers.
But based on their operating principle there are three main types of 3D printers available in the market and we use all those three for prototyping and product development and lets take look at each one now.

#1 Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)
This is the common type of 3D printer available in the market.
In this printer a hot filament used and there are several drawbacks in the finishing of the printed product.
Mainly the build lines are visible and can be felt by touching that shows the outer finishing is not smooth and at some points there are material overflowed due the gap the layer. 
For initial prototyping based on client requirement we use this type of 3D printing.


#2 Polyject 
Here instead of the hot plastic filament a head which like the head in an inkjet printer, print layers of resins which can be cured by UV light.
There are many advantages of using a Polyjet 3D printer,
It's surface finish is smoother than FDM
Fine details
No build up lines
But, one drawback is the time and it consumes more time than FDM 3D printer

#3 Stereo lithographic (SLA)
This is the most oldest and most accurate and quality 3D printer in the industry.
This uses some kind of liquid resins and the quality of the final product is better than the other two types of printers.
This is the method that we use to make final standard prototype.
We are ready to Solve your problems, talk to us and we will create the best innovative solution for your problem. If you are a student with no idea, or no time to complete a project, don't worry we can help you.

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

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 Mail Notifier

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
