May 25, 2010 - PRLog -- An article by Steve from Schmit Prototypes was featured on moldmakingtechnology.com (http://www.moldmakingtechnology.com/articles/0510tip.html) on why prototyping is important. Moldmaking Technology Magazine is published monthly and is distributed in the United States, Canada and Mexico to selected production, engineering and company management personnel employed in manufacturing plants where metalworking operations are performed. This article highlights why prototyping is crucial to the product design process.

"Whatever the item a company intends to produce, creating a prototype is crucial to the design process. Moldmakers would be wise to stay on top of technology developments and consider their use to improve the service they provide. Following are four reasons why prototyping is important" says Steve. http://www.schmitprototypes.com

Some important steps in the prototyping process include evaluating and testing the design, clarifying production costs and issues, selling the product to others and patents. Each step makes it much easier to sit down with a patent attorney and see what design aspects may be patentable. On the reverse side, it is possible to see what parts of the prototype and design violate patents of other individuals and how they can be changed before production—and the chance of a lawsuit—begins.
