Learn How To Prototype Your Idea
🔍 Patent Research Before Prototyping.
Protect Your Idea Before You Build!
At Rabbit Product Design, we offer professional patent research services to help you protect your invention and avoid costly mistakes before you invest in prototyping. Whether you plan to file a patent or simply want to avoid infringing on others, we give you clarity and confidence before you build.
Why Patent Research Matters Before Prototyping
Before creating a prototype, it's important to understand the existing patent landscape. Our team helps you:
✅ Avoid building a product that already exists
✅ Discover if your idea is patentable or already protected
✅ Identify ways to design around existing patents
✅ Prevent future legal risks and wasted development costs
What’s Included in Rabbit’s Patent Research:
🔎 Comprehensive U.S. and international patent search
📊 Engineer-reviewed analysis—no generic AI-only reports
🧠 Actionable insights to guide your prototype design and IP strategy
📄 Easy-to-understand summaries, not just legal jargon
📐 CAD Design Services That Turn Ideas
Into Prototype-Ready Products.
Before you build a prototype, you need a detailed CAD model—and Rabbit Product Design delivers expert-level CAD design services to bring your idea to life with precision, speed, and manufacturability in mind.
What Is CAD Design in Prototyping?
CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is the process of creating 2D drawings and 3D models of your product that define every detail, including:
✅ Exact dimensions and geometry
✅ Material specifications
✅ Tolerances and mechanical function
✅ Compatibility with manufacturing methods
CAD is essential before prototyping because it allows engineers to design, test, and refine your product virtually, reducing costly revisions and improving the success of your prototype.
What You Get with Rabbit’s CAD Design Service:
🧠 Designs created by senior engineers (27+ years avg. experience)
🛠️ Fully detailed 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings
🏭 Optimized for manufacturing processes like injection molding, CNC machining, and 3D printing
🔄 Fast iterations and updates based on real-time engineering feedback
Why Rabbit for CAD and Prototyping?
We don’t outsource. All CAD work is done in-house by experts who have helped launch over 2,000 products. We understand what makes a design manufacturable and prototype-ready, so you avoid rework, delays, and extra costs in the future.
🛠️ Professional Prototyping Services.
Bring Your Product to Life!
At Rabbit Product Design, we provide expert prototyping services to help you turn your product idea into a real, working prototype. Built for testing, feedback, funding, and manufacturing.
What Is a Product Prototype?
A product prototype is a physical version of your invention used to test its design, function, and usability before mass production. A well-built prototype lets you:
✅ Validate your design in the real world
✅ Identify and fix flaws before manufacturing
✅ Impress investors or stakeholders
✅ Prepare for mass production with fewer risks
Why Rabbit Prototypes Are Different:
🛠️ Real, functional prototypes—not cheap 3D prints
🧠 Built by senior engineers with 27+ years of experience
🔧 Made with production-grade materials and components
🎯 Designed with manufacturing in mind to reduce rework later
Whether you're an inventor, Entrepreneur, or startup, our team will help you create a testable, high-quality prototype that’s ready for feedback, refinement, and next steps.
🏭 From Prototype to Production.
Manufacturing Services That Scale With You!
Once your prototype is complete, Rabbit Product Design helps you move seamlessly into cost-effective, scalable manufacturing. We provide expert guidance, factory sourcing, and production oversight—so your product gets built right the first time.
What Comes After Prototyping?
After validating your prototype, the next step is full production. This involves:
✅ Finalizing design for manufacturability (DFM)
✅ Creating production tooling (molds, dies, jigs)
✅ Choosing a qualified factory (domestic or overseas)
✅ Producing and assembling your product at scale
Our team helps manage this entire transition, reducing risk, improving quality, and ensuring your product is ready for the real world.
What You Get with Rabbit Manufacturing:
🏭 Factory sourcing from trusted U.S. and International partners
📐 Engineering-led DFM and cost optimization
🛠️ Tooling design and coordination
🕵️♂️ Quality assurance and production oversight
💬 Transparent pricing, timelines, and support from start to finish
🚀 Product Launch Services.
Take Your Invention from Prototype to Market!
Once your prototype is complete, it’s time to launch—and Rabbit Product Design helps you do it right. Our product launch services guide you through the critical final steps to get your product into customers’ hands, retail shelves, or online marketplaces.
What Happens After a Prototype Is Built?
After prototyping, you need a clear path to market. That includes:
✅ Final product assembly, packaging, and labeling
✅ Retail and e-commerce channel planning (Amazon, Shopify, etc.)
✅ Brand identity, pricing strategy, and positioning
✅ Sales materials, investor decks, and launch support
✅ Fulfillment, warehousing, and logistics setup
We help you avoid common pitfalls and give your product the best chance to succeed in the real world.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a prototype, and why do I need one?
A prototype is a physical version of your product idea used to test form, function, and usability. It allows you to validate your concept, identify design improvements, and demonstrate your idea to investors or partners before moving to manufacturing.
What makes Rabbit’s prototyping different from others?
We build real, functional prototypes, not low-quality 3D prints. Every prototype is made using production-grade materials and overseen by senior engineers with an average of 27 years of experience. This means your prototype is built for testing, durability, and market readiness.
How long does the prototyping process take?
Timelines vary depending on product complexity, but most prototypes are completed in 2 to 5 weeks. We’ll give you a detailed timeline during your strategy session and keep you updated every step of the way.
Can you also design the prototype, or do I need CAD files first?
Yes, we offer full CAD design services in-house. If you don’t have CAD files, our engineers will create them based on your idea or concept sketches. We ensure your design is optimized for both prototyping and future manufacturing.
How much does a prototype cost?
Costs depend on size, materials, complexity, and number of parts. After a product evaluation, we’ll provide a clear estimate. We also focus on cost-effective prototyping that’s built for long-term ROI, not just looks.
Will my idea be protected if I work with you?
Yes. We are happy to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect your intellectual property. Your idea is safe with us. We've helped thousands of inventors launch with confidence.
Can I use my prototype to raise funding or pitch investors?
Absolutely. Our prototypes are presentation-ready and designed to showcase your idea’s real-world potential. Many of our clients use them for pitch meetings, crowdfunding campaigns, and trade shows.
Do you help with manufacturing after the prototype is done?
Yes. We specialize in end-to-end product development, including factory sourcing, production tooling, and scalable manufacturing. Our goal is to take you from idea to full product launch, not just stop at the prototype.
Can I request changes to the prototype if I want to revise the design?
Yes. We expect that! Prototyping is a learning process. Based on your feedback and testing, we can refine the design, update the CAD files, and rebuild as needed before manufacturing begins.
