Información sobre Prototipos & Patentes
How much does a prototype cost?
The cost of manufacturing a prototype can range between $10,000 and $50,000.
The price difference of a prototype is conditioned by the level of uncertainty and the need for research in the prototyping process.
It is more resource-intensive to research the best way to manufacture a prototype than the actual manufacturing itself.
It is difficult to anticipate a price without knowing the scope of your invention, but we guarantee a fixed price within 72 hours. We have manufactured prototypes ranging from €1,000 to €70,000.
The price of the prototype is not similar to the price of the final product. For example, the manufacturing of the prototype of the first electric vehicle cost millions of dollars. In contrast, the final product is priced at $30,000 in the market.
It is important for you to know that the price of the prototype is not similar to the price of the final product, but they have a very close relationship.
The price of a final product is conditioned by how effective the product developers are during the prototyping stage.
The simple and cheap products in the market usually have countless hours of research and significant investments behind them to achieve competitive prototypes that lay the foundation for market competition.
For example, manufacturing the first prototype of Gillette razors in 1901 took many months and hundreds of thousands of dollars. In contrast, the final product, after decades, remains a leader in excellence and quality, with competitive prices that customers are willing to pay.
How long does the prototype manufacturing process take?
The process of manufacturing a prototype can take about 90 days..
The timeline for manufacturing a prototype can be affected by the level of uncertainty associated with the invention.
To quickly manufacture a prototype, it is most advisable to develop a basic engineering project.
To manufacture a quality prototype, it is important to isolate the research cycle from the prototype manufacturing. Facing the prototype creation process in two stages results in both cost savings in the prototype price and reduced time to manufacture a prototype.
Although it is an iterative process, it usually takes about 90 days to create a functional prototype. According to our prototyping method, you will be part of the process and will be informed of the progress every week.
How much can a pre-series cost?
The pre-series of a prototype is a handcrafted replica of the validated functional prototype. The pre-series of a prototype is not manufactured using industrial methods; instead, the prototype is reproduced following the same steps and using the same tools used to manufacture prototypes.
The price of the pre-series is entirely related to the characteristics of the functional prototype.
The pre-series of prototypes are manufactured using non-industrial means. For this reason, the price of the pre-series should not be taken as a reference or compared with the prices of the final product.
The unit price in the pre-series is usually between 5% and 10% of the prototype's price.
Why is it important to manufacture prototypes of inventions?
The importance of manufacturing a prototype of an invention can be summarized in its three main objectives.
Objectives of manufacturing prototypes of inventions:
- Learn about the use cases. How the invention will be used.
- Demonstrate the technical feasibility of the invention.
- Minimize the investment to industrialize the invention.

What is a prototype?
El prototype es la primera unidad de un producto. El prototipo de un invento se consigue mediante un proceso iterativo cuyo objetivo es conseguir un diseño industrial y producto físico que demuestre la viabilidad técnica del invento.
How to patent an idea?
Before patenting an idea it is essential to have completed the process of industrial design. You should study the background of the invention, define theinnovation assertions para elegir el type of patent that best fits with yoursinvention.
When to manufacture the prototype?
Prior to investing money in protecting your idea, you must demonstrate that it’s technically feasible. The best way to do this is with a working prototype. If you already have the patent for it, don’t worry, we can help you.
Are prototype and product prices comparable?
There is no relationship between theprototype price and themanufacturing cost of a product. The prototype is the unit that bears the full load of engineering and innovation. They are sacred and incomparable services and moments.
Types of patents
There are three methods to protect an invention (types of patents) : The Industrial Design/Design Patent, Utility Model, Invention Patent. It's important that you know their differences before choosing a method to protect an invention.
Is a prototype the same as an MVP?
Any action or experiment that allows inventors or entrepreneurs to gain learning is considered an MVP.
The MVP doesn't have to be a physical product. The MVP could be, for example, a commercial catalog of a product that doesn't exist, through which future customer feedback can be obtained.
The most common mistake with the MVP is not simulating real scenarios. The MVP only works when the customer interacting with it feels like they are facing a real buying opportunity. Only then can effective and reliable information be obtained.
On the other hand, the prototype is a stage in which the technical feasibility of an invention can be demonstrated. The prototype is useful commercially because it provides insights into the user experience. In the case of a functional prototype, the main goal is to demonstrate that the invention is technically viable and can be manufactured.
The main difference between an MVP and a prototype is that the MVP doesn't have to be a product; it's more of a product simulation, useful for learning how users would use a product or if they are interested in it. The prototype is a product; rather than learning if users would use it or not, its goal is to learn about how it will be used and what aspects need to be improved before bringing the product to market.
What is product industrial design?
Product industrial design is the mechanical definition of parts and components that will make up the functional prototype.
Industrial design allows simulating and evaluating the functioning of the future prototype in a digital environment.
Experimenting on the industrial design of the invention is cheaper than in the prototype manufacturing process.
The industrial design cycle of a product requires material research. To determine the materials for a prototype, it will be necessary to understand the purpose of use of the product, functional, aesthetic, weight requirements, and required mechanical resistance.
Industrial Design Vs Graphic Design of an Invention.
Industrial design focuses on the mechanical specification and operational details of the product. In contrast, graphic design is merely the creation of an idea in a realistic and three-dimensional format. The 3D design of an invention does not mean the invention is viable. To demonstrate the viability of an invention, a functional prototype must be manufactured.
How to protect an invention?
Inventions are protected through patents, utility models, or industrial design registrations.
Patents and industrial design registrations are the most recommended methods to protect an invention.
The Utility Model does not exist in many countries. The Utility Model is a method of protecting inventions that is weak and less rigorous, although very cheap.

Inventor, this letter is for you:
If someone has ever looked at you with a “funny” face or if you’ve felt like you don’t fit in in your professional and/or family environment, you’ve come to the right place! We have been working for over a decade with inventors who, like you, were born to create solutions to problems that any other person would overlook.
We are aware of the time and effort you’ve devoted to defining or patenting the idea, as well as the level of “disinformation” that may plague you when you decide to demonstrate its technical feasibility. If we’re in contact with one another, it’s because you’ve already discovered two things: the industry is not the optimal partner to design and manufacture your first prototype, and patent companies cannot lend you a hand at this stage.
Although it may sound right to define us as the “Macrocompany” of prototypes in Europe, the truth is that Let’s Prototype is an MSME with just 10 engineers in various specialized areas, joined by a common passion to face challenges head-on, regardless of the industry or complexity.
