Your Rapid Prototype
Rapid prototyping (RP) is a type of
prototype manufacturing technology
that creates a prototype by layering
thermoplastics or similar materials
from the ground up similar to building a
house with bricks. Rapid Prototyping can
produce an exact replica of a
3d model in as little as an hour.
The implications of producing a
prototype spread into every field of
product development including
research &
development,
marketing and at times to
manufacture
production quality parts in
relatively small numbers.
Scaling, Material and Shipping
Due to the
volumetric limitations each prototype
produced by Protomine is scaled to a
maximum 5 inches on the largest
dimensions.
Rapid
Prototypes are made of durable
thermoplastic and are available in
multiple colors.
Your
Rapid Prototype is shipped within 48
hours of finalization of your
3d graphics package.
Your Initial Design
The
design composition you receive is in
the format of what is called a
3d model which is a 3d
representation of your design. Since
they are 3 dimensional they can be
rotated and examined from any angle.
Your 3d model is the core of your 3d
Graphics Package. All of your
revisions are made to your
3d
model in your 3d pdf file. The 3d pdf is
a fully interactive file for where you
can make notes, comments, etc. to
resubmit for continuation of your
production process.
Are you a designer?
Although Protomine was developed with
the inventor in mind, our primary
mission is to assist both
invention and
design in the
development of their concepts.
Our overall goal is to offer
3d graphics and
rapid prototype services at a low
cost in order to allow you, as a
designer, the ability to bring your

About: Invention Designer
A invention designer is a person
who designs something new. If you've
created a
new invention chances are you are a
designer. Regardless of whether you have
developed your idea or not, you have the
designing mind. As well as amateur
designers, there are many professional
designers. To be a professional designer
requires study to degree level, work
experience or specialized training.
Working as an invention designer usually
implies being creative in a particular
area of expertise. Designers are usually
responsible for
developing the concept and making
drawings
or
models for something new that will
be made by someone else. Their
concepts take into account not only
how something will look, but also how it
will be used and how it will be
manufactured. There can be great
differences between the working styles
and principles of invention designers in
different arenas.
Your Design
Drawing
The
design drawing that you submit can be quite simple.
We recommend submitting more than one
design
drawing
of your invention to give us a clear understanding of
your
invention concept. We do not require dimensions for
designs for packages A and B.

Uploading your
design
concept
is easy. Simply log in to your dashboard and follow the
step by step guides. It takes about 5 minutes and you'll
get a response from our team within 24 hours Guaranteed!
The
design concept you submit should be in either of the
4 image file formats. We can accept drawings without
dimensions.

About:
Design
Concept
Design
Methods vary across various fields and are based on
broad focuses.
1. Exploring the possibilities and similar constraints
by focusing on critical thinking skills to
research
and define specific problem spaces for existing
products
or services
and the creation of
new
product categories.
2. gray fining the specifications of a
design
solution which can lead to better guidelines for
traditional
design activities such as in the
graphic,
industrial, architectural fields.
3. Managing the process of exploration, defining and
creating artifacts continually over time.
4.
Prototyping the possible to
develop
scenarios and solutions that minimally or significantly
improve the current
product development.
What does it cost for invention creation?
Manufacturers
follow a complicated and costly
product development process called
product lifecycle
management (plm). This
approach encompasses the complete lifecycle from the
creation of your
concept design
through
manufacturing
and disposal
of a product. The typical
cost to get a product creation starts at around $100,000
for simple concept designs and rises dramatically for
more complicated concepts.
What are they promising
you?
Organizations such as
invention submission
companies offer costly services promising to develop
your concept for $5-$20,000 (a fraction of what it
really costs) while delivering very little in return and
producing very poor success rates.
The Reality
Paying high prices to
outside companies to "develop"
or "patent"
your product is often unnecessary if you just want to
license
your concept. Ultimately the
distributor incurs the real costs of development and in
return offers a
licensing
contract. Your job is to present an appealing product
presentation and deliver it to the right people!
The Solution - The
Protomine Process!
In a nutshell, the Protomine
process
was created to help
you create a presentation which
represents
and
markets
your design efficiently and
effectively. Our
proprietary
process contains a complete checklist
of items companies want in order to make informed
decisions on whether or not to carry your product
design. So forget about expensive
invention submission
companies and everyone else trying to take
your money and do-it-yourself.
Interest in obtaining licensing for your Invention?
The
purpose of
licensing is to grant
another individual,
company or corporation
the right to use your
intellectual property
for a specific amount of time and for a specific
purpose. The specifics are outlined in the terms of the
agreement.
A licensor may grant licensing under "intellectual
property" to do something (such as copy
software or use a patented invention) without fear of a
claim of
intellectual property
infringement brought by the
licensor.
A
license under
intellectual property
usually has several parts including a term, territory,
renewal, as well as other limitations deemed vital to
the
licensor and
licensee.
Many licenses are valid for a particular length of time
protecting the licensor should the value of a
licensing agreement
increase, or market conditions change.
About:
Product
Royalties
Royalties are payments made by one party (the "licensee")
to another (the "licensor") for ongoing usage of an
asset, usually an
intellectual property
(IP) right. The royalty for a given case is determined
by many factors including:
market drivers and
demand structure, territorial of rights, exclusivity of
rights, inherent risk, strategic need, fundability, deal
structure, level of
innovation, stage of
development,
sustainability of the
product, and
availability of similar technologies.
Navigating through the royalty terms is important. You
commonly have both an advance royalty, which is a flat
fee paid upfront, and ongoing royalties, which are paid
as a percentage of every sale you make. The advance
royalty is basically a
guarantee that the
licensor will get some
money even if your product does not sell. Then, if and
when your
product
sells, the licensor
will get a percentage of the
sale on average, about
5 percent of the wholesale price of each product sold.
The licensor usually decides what the royalties will be,
and those rates are pretty firmly set. So make sure you
understand what they are and that they are spelled out
in your
licensing agreement to
avoid any surprises later. In fact, that agreement is
crucial in determining not only what the licensor
receives, but also what rights you get.
Should you
do your own invention promoting?
Many people ask themselves
should I market or promote my invention myself or hire
someone to do it for us? Either way, whomever promotes
your design concept should understand the following: It
is crucial to your
product presentation
that you provide a quality Marketing Invention Analysis
of your
design concept for
maximum impact. Knowledge about your
market demographic,
market trends and other information can greatly increase
the value of your
presentation enabling
you to maximize you potential for sales or licensing
your product idea promoting.
Simply follow the step by step
marketing guide to
create your Marketing Invention
Analysis directly from
your dashboard. You will create a simple concise set of
marketing details to show others that your design is
exciting and has market potential. Lastly, if you have
problems simply contact your
project manager who can
answer any questions you may have.
About: Advertising Your Invention
Advertising
is a type of communication that commonly attempts to
persuade potential customers to purchase more of a
particular brands
product or service.
Many advertisements are
designed to generate
increased consumption of those products and services by
creating and reinforcing of brand image and brand
loyalty. Advertising sometimes has a persuasive message
combined with factual information. Major mediums used to
deliver these messages include television, radio,
cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet
and billboards. Advertising is often placed by
advertising agencies on behalf of a
companies or other
organizations.
Advertising is seen on the seats of shopping carts, on
the walls of an airport walkway, on the sides of buses,
in telephone messages and in-store public address
systems. Advertising is often placed where audiences can
easily and frequently access visual, audio and printed
information. Some organizations spend large sums of
money on advertising that sells what is not, strictly
speaking, a
product or service
include political parties, interest groups, religious
organizations, and military recruiters. Non-profit
organizations are not typical advertising clients, and
may rely on free modes of persuasion, such as public
service announcements.
