Product and Services Product evaluation The first and most important step is fully evaluating your idea to see that it has all the traits of a potentially successful product. Tarlow Design can quickly put your product through a thorough evaluation process that uncovers any “fatal flaws� so you do not waste your valuable time or money on an idea that cannot fly. We also offer suggestions on how to overcome the problems we find or to offer suggestions such as unique added features that will make your product even better.
Concept Design If you have an idea of how your product might work, but are not sure what mechanisms or components will actually do the job, Tarlow Design can help figure out those details in the concept design stage. We can also do concept renderings to show how your product might look in its finished state.
Prototype Construction Tarlow Design’s up to date prototype shop has all the equipment needed to produce good looking, working prototypes. These include proof of principle models, Appearance models and “looks like, works like” models. We can also get parts made through 3D printing processes that generate parts from CAD drawings.
Pre-production prototypes This is a very finished form of prototype that includes all parts just as they will be made in production. Each part is made from CAD drawings that will ultimately be used for creating the tooling for your product.
Manufacturing Assistance If you decide to go into business to make and sell your product, Tarlow Design has the manufacturing sources lined up to do the job and deliver the product in the box.
Licensing assistance If you decide to license your product to a manufacturer and make a royalty on each unit sold, Tarlow Design can help you find a suitable licensee. We do not charge any upfront fees for this service, but if successful, will earn a portion of the royalty. You get 70% we get 30%.
