Entrepreneur Services
Do you have a new idea or invention that you want to develop further?
BrooksTech offers numerous services to help from prototype to production.
A typical project usually is divided into phases. These phases may include the following services depending on the specifics of the project:
Entrepreneur Product Design
Product Definition – Many inventors have an idea that may need to be more fully defined in order to determine the best way to proceed. BrooksTech can help you write that definition. This definition will assist you in knowing what the features of your product will have and what the pros and cons are of each. It may require that research is done to make these determinations. The result of this service is usually a written product specification.
Initial Product Design – Using the written definition as a reference, a simple 3D product design can be generated that can be used to support your patent and show you the basic functionality of your product. The deliverables of this service are typically a 3D model and images to visually describe them.
Industrial Design – Many products rely on an interesting look to set them apart from the competition. If you determine that this is critical to your success, a number of looks will be generated for your product for you to select from. These are in the form of 2D images. Examples of this can be seen on the “Case Study” page.
Entrepreneur Legal & Funding
Patents – BrooksTech works with a number of local patent attorneys to protect your intellectual property.
Intellectual Property – If your idea is patentable, it is important that you have taken the steps to protect your idea. If you are not already working with a patent attorney, BrooksTech can recommend one to you. If you are already working with an attorney, you may need your concept images refined to a level sufficient to include with your patent.
Funding – In order to be financially able to get your product to full production, you may need assistance. A great resource for entrepreneurs that has become available in the past years is crowd funding. A couple of the sites that are popular are KickStarter and Indiegogo (see links page). BrooksTech has experience that can aid you with creating your campaign to raise the funds you require.
Entrepreneur Prototyping
Design for Prototype – Most inventors want to do a proof of concept of their idea through the use of a working demonstrable prototype. In order to have one created, a 3D model needs to be generated that is sufficient to build one. This service will provide you with 3D files that can be used by prototypers to build one.
Prototype Construction – BrooksTech has a long history with numerous resources both domestic and off shore to build a quality prototype of your product. Whether you require a single sample or a limited run, we can support that.
Product Evaluation – BrooksTech offers services to help you evaluate the prototype and determine what changes need to be made in order to get the product ready for production. These services could involve environmental testing or marketing related services.
Entrepreneur Production & Marketing
Design for Assembly – All designs are optimized for ease of manufacturing and assembly to save you money producing your product.
Production – When you are ready to turn on production and start selling your product, BrooksTech can support that with trusted partners in the US and China.
Product Scanning – Produce a 3D part from the laser scan of an existing part.
Product Simulation – Create a video using your 3D model to simulate operation or put it into a virtual setting.
Marketing Support – Logos, Websites and Promotional Material can all be supported.
Corporate Services
Is your company developing a new product or accessory and you don’t have the staff to support it. BrooksTech can help you complete those tasks and keep the program on schedule.
BrooksTech has supported numerous established companies supplementing their engineering departments to keep them on schedule with their fast track programs. If your company doesn’t currently have a mechanical designer, let BrooksTech fill that need. If you don’t have the staff to design that unplanned accessory that goes with your next hot product, let BrooksTech design it for you. Do you have an NDA for us to sign? Email it to us so we can get started.
Corporate Product Design
Initial Product Design – Using your corporate written definition as a reference, a simple 3D product design can be generated that can be used to support your patent and show you the basic functionality of your product. The deliverables of this service are typically a 3D model and images to visually describe them.
Industrial Design – Do you need a product or accessory to match an existing product family. BrooksTech can supply with numerous concept sketches and refined ID drawings for you to select from.
Finished Design – When the design is complete BrooksTech will transfer all the native files to you which can be used for prototypes or full scale production.
Corporate Prototyping
Prototype Design – Refined design files can be used for in house prototyping or use trusted prototypers supplied by BrooksTech.
