Rapid Prototyping / Prototype Development Service
Confidential Invention Prototyping
Protect your ideas while refining them through rapid development and iteration. Zagnat delivers confidential invention prototyping that keeps your concepts secure from first file to final test piece.
Bring your invention from concept to testable prototype with focused iteration cycles. We handle each stage discreetly so you can explore design changes without exposure.
Development and Iteration for Inventions
Start with your initial CAD or scan data. We produce early versions, review feedback, and deliver updated prototypes that incorporate your refinements. This cycle repeats until the design meets your functional goals.
Common file types accepted include STL, STEP, OBJ, 3MF, IGES, and standard CAD exports.
How It Works
- Upload files and project notes.
- Receive price guidance by email in 24-48 hours.
- Approve and we begin the first build.
- Evaluate the prototype and request targeted changes.
- Iterate until the design is ready for next steps.
Project Fit
This service suits inventors who need multiple prototype versions to validate mechanics, fit, or ergonomics while maintaining confidentiality. Projects start at a $200 minimum.
