The final presentation of a product is like its passport to the general public. A product can be perfectly developed and highly useful, but it will be ignored because it isn't visually appealing or engaging enough. That's why it's best to use the services of a professional designer, a specialist whose job is to find the ideal presentation for a given item.

These designers don't arrive at the final result through pure intuition. To imagine what a product should look like, they ask themselves who it's for, where, when, and how it will be used. It's also important for them to determine if the object is safe and durable, to estimate the number of people who will use it, and to know what material it will be made of. The designer must also consider the style, quality, and dimensions of the object.

Once the answers are found, they will get to work and provide you with plans and specifications that will be used to manufacture the final prototype. At this stage, each of these plans must be examined in detail to detect any errors. It is also recommended to present the plans for the final model to a few people to gather their feedback. After all, it is the inventor, not the designer, who has the final say. If you are satisfied with the specialist's work, you should then consider creating the final prototype.

Note that the industrial designer can also be involved in the packaging of your product. In fact, for market success, the packaging must attract as much attention as the product itself. When a consumer looks at a product on a store shelf, they must be able to understand its purpose in just a few seconds, otherwise their attention will be diverted to another item.

Note that Inventarium offers all types of industrial drawings:

• 3D modeling and animation

• Realistic presentation illustrations

• Assembly and manufacturing detail drawings

• Electrical, hydraulic, and piping schematics

• Architectural and structural drawings

• Rapid prototyping using full-color 3D printing

Our instructor is also an industrial drawing teacher, and as such, we offer the following courses:

• Training on computer-aided design software

• Training on technical drawing standards

The final prototype:

This is the most exciting part of the process. Generally, by the time we reach this stage, we've been waiting for months. The prototype must conform to the plans and specifications provided by the designer and have the appearance and characteristics of the finished product. In other words, it must look like what you're looking for and function as you expect. The services of an expert are required to complete this task successfully, and choosing this specialist is generally straightforward, as most designers work in conjunction with a model maker. Inventarium also offers this service.

Once completed, your prototype will allow you to sell your invention or license its production to a manufacturer of your choice. This prototype will also enable the manufacturer to accurately determine the production cost of the product. You can also use it to conduct thorough market research. This research will provide valuable insights into when modifications to your product are necessary. If so, don't hesitate, even if these modifications generate additional costs.

Keep in mind that once production begins, you will no longer be able to make any changes. If consumers don't like what you've developed, you will face failure for having neglected the opinions of the potential users consulted during the research phase. Throughout my career as an inventor, I have seen several inventors fail for this reason. Yet, the initial idea for the new product was excellent, but it didn't perfectly meet the specific needs of the consumer.
