We're currently in the process of finalizing the first sets of
prototypes and engineering, and the new trip trak unit just won an
award in Las Vegas. Keep your eye out for this unit to be a hot item
since they will be used by AAA Rental Cars!

For the past 2 months, PRG President, Tyler Harrell, and the staff have been working with our graphic design team to launch our new website design. Since our website acts as our company brochure, it was necessary to update all of our service and company information, as well as the overall look and feel of the site. We wanted our site to be user friendly, full of information, and most importantly, Simple! The new clean fresh look is very pleasing, simple, and full of the latest product development information for our company, services, and new technology available at PRG. We are looking very forward to the new site launch, scheduled for the end of March 2009. Please check back regularly to see when it becomes available. www.creativeprototyping.com
As of last week, we were able to secure an additional 2,000 sq. ft. to our administrative, prototype, and product development facilities, making our office and shop space a total of 4,000 sq. ft. We are located in the same building, and now have almost the whole building that we are in. We are very excited about this expansion, and now have the opportunity to grow into other areas to better serve our customers by adding new equipment and staffing that was not feasible previously with our limited space. We will be updating the new office space over the next few months by adding new equipment that will allow us to expand in the areas of prototyping, engineering, manufacturing, shipping and marketing. We will be adding pictures to the blog of the new space once we have it ready.
Concept design is the process of taking a napkin sketch, applying creativity and developing a product. This process includes brainstorming, concept sketching, 3D style renderings, 3D CAD creation, Design for Prototyping, Design for Manufacturability, Product Animations, Virtual (Computer-Generated) Renderings, and full Concept Design reports that fully describe and explain every aspect of the product. If you have a patent, or a product that is in the conceptual phase, then our Concept Design Engineering services will be exactly what you need to build functional prototypes, and obtain Target Manufacturing Prices and complete Material Selection reports. Whether your project is plastic, metal, electronics or textile fabrics, our Engineering team has the ability to design and build it for you. We operate on fixed price agreements for our concept design service. E-mail or call us for a quote today.
Virtual (Computer-Generated) Prototyping is a form of 3D CAD drawing that looks realistic. The advantage of doing a V.P. is that you can often convey the message of your product without actually building a physical prototype. Most of the time, the V.P. is used as a supplemental tool to your presentation package or marketing materials. Virtual Prototypes are presented in JPEG format that anyone can open, they can have background scenes to feel more realistic, and most people do not know that they are looking at a V.P. because it is so real. We use the highest quality software available to offer our clients a very affordable method of presenting their product. Here are just a few examples of our High Quality Virtual Prototypes.
There are several reasons why a prototype is helpful. The first and most obvious reason for building a prototype would be to prove the overall functionality of your product. This is an extremely fun process watching a 3D CAD drawing turn into a functional product. Many customers want to build a prototype so they can take it to their Patent Attorney for obtaining Patent Protection, and the majority of customers want a prototype that is a professional presentation unit to show to either manufacturers for licensing or product buyers for placing their product on the market. As new products continue to be designed and developed every day, the need and demand for High Quality Prototypes is becoming even greater. Technology advancement and skilled engineers allow our team to build the most professional & highest quality prototypes available. We provide prototypes for every need, including virtual prototypes, early stage concepts, prototypes that demonstrate functionality and final prototypes that are cosmetically accurate and engineered for production.
