Movies are infamous for showing us inventions that couldn’t possibly exist in the current world. However, there are some technologies that have come off of the big screen and found their way into our lives. Read about four movies that include former pieces of science fiction.
If your prototype needs to move to work, electric motors can provide clean, inexpensive, and efficient power for devices in many applications. However, choosing the right one is vital. In part 2 of this series, discover the three types of electric motors and the best time to use each when prototyping.
Choosing a firm that’s a good fit for your product can be a difficult task. Inventors are passionate about their ideas and need a development firm that can take that passion and maximize its potential. When choosing product development firms, consider carefully the following six factors.
Through generations of design and innovation, electric motors have become one of the most efficient power transmission devices. Explore the history and fundamentals of electric motor technology as well as practical applications in this two-part series.
To understand how your product idea will later weigh in the marketplace, you should ask calculated questions early in the product development process. Here are techniques you can use to solicit purposeful feedback when showing off your new product.
Building new technology requires exhausting cycles of prototyping, which can sometimes lead to inventor burnout. Enventys Partners explains how anti-prototyping, the practice of discovery and building for fun, can help new and experienced inventors, alike, learn skills and rejuvenate creativity.
The team with FloSonix, a lice desiccation device, had a list of unique mechanical and electrical requirements. Enventys Partners took on the challenge and even used additive manufacturing, specifically with the Origin One 3D Printer, to help bring this product to life.
Electronic prototypes can be difficult to build. You can’t see most of the parts and you have to rely on measurements, not just the naked eye, to troubleshoot. To get your electronic device up and running, Enventys Partners explains the three common ways electronic prototypes fail and how you can avoid them.
We’ve heard a lot of great questions about the product development process with more folks using the pandemic shakeup as an opportunity to make their ideas come to life. As 2020 comes to a close, Enventys Partners reflects on our most common prototyping and manufacturing questions of the year.
A typical story arc and the process of prototyping are essentially the same thing—the exploration of an idea. Enventys Partners explains how proper product development follows Freytag’s Pyramid of storytelling, also known as the dramatic structure.
