Examples of Mechanical Prototypes.
The inventions manufactured in Let's Prototype usually integrate different engineering disciplines. Even so, we define the categories of inventions based on where the most critical points lie.
Mechanical prototypes can carry electronics, artificial intelligence, integrate IOT solutions, but, as a common denominator, they will have a high level of complexity in the design.
Case 01. Step without leg to attach in home and office furniture.
Access to the aerial furniture of kitchens or other home or office environments is usually a problem for the "not so tall". In the same way, we have less and less space available in our homes and offices, so making the most of the space in height, becomes a priority. Many times we do not take advantage of it, because of how difficult it would be to access these aerial furniture.
The invention consists of a structure that is integrated into furniture already democratized in the market. The prototype, as can be seen in the patent, works and integrates into the furniture with mechanical elements available on the market.
The industrial design team of Let's Prototype has achieved a functional prototype that is easily integrated into the furniture available on the market. Users only have to open or close a drawer so that, in two steps and without extraordinary efforts, a prototype of a staircase, aesthetic and minimalist, can be obtained to access the airspaces.

Case 06. Pacifier with Vertical Drop.
Currently, pacifiers are generally designed to allow babies to suck or chew on the nipple while fitting perfectly over the baby’s mouth. However, when a pacifier falls to the ground, the nipple comes into contact with the surface, making it necessary to wash or even sterilize it to protect babies from potential infections. Additionally, most pacifiers lack features to protect or conceal the nipple when not in use, and they also lack mechanisms that allow for quick location,
The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks pointed out, above all, the contact of the teat with the ground. In Let's Prototype we have designed a functional prototype that avoids the contact of the teat with the ground, regardless of the height from which the pacifier falls.

Case 09: Salad Bowl with Dressing Filter - Examples of Simple Inventions
In this example of a prototype, the selection of food-grade materials was a genuine challenge. Although the properties of materials available for food use are common and accessible through plastic injection methods and similar processes, working with materials of these characteristics during prototyping is not as simple.
A simple design, ergonomic and practical, has been achieved to customize the size of the particles allowed to pass into the dressing reservoir.
Important inventions do not have to be complex or difficult to manufacture. Some examples of simple inventions, like the salad bowl, represent genuine business opportunities.
Case 10: Example of Useful Household Inventions - Vertical Broom
There are examples of simple ideas with high potential for success. The broom with vertical stability could be an example of a simple prototype, although achieving this simplicity required dozens of hours to develop a functional design, ergonomic and innovative.
The innovative broom has the ability to remain in a vertical position without requiring additional support beyond what is provided by its own innovative mechanical system.
Challenges of original inventions:
Thinking of less obvious solutions and analyzing their advantages and disadvantages.
Assessing the number of resulting parts required for it to function.
Defining prototype manufacturing methods and optimal materials.
Manufacturing initial validation models.
Redesigning the invention.
Manufacturing a functional prototype of the invention.
Case 11: Splash-Prevention Module for Toilets
Examples of unusual inventions.
This is a portable device compatible with most commercial toilet brands and models. The goal of this unusual invention, yet very useful, is to also serve as a example of a sustainable product. In addition to preventing the uncomfortable splashes one might experience with a toilet, it discourages users from using the toilet to dispose of wet wipes, which heavily pollute our oceans.
Examples of original ideas that are easy to prototype don’t have to be any less innovative. In our product development laboratory, we approach these types of unusual inventions with the same technical rigor that we apply to complex and technological products.
Specifically, the splash-prevention module for toilets became a patented product that currently represents a great opportunity for both domestic use and for hotels committed to sustainability goals.
Case 12. Opening for all types of containers. Innovative packaging.
How many times have you tried to extract the last drop from the ketchup bottle?
Does the same happen with shampoo and shower gel?
In our daily lives, we improvise and spend time trying to get that last bit of liquid products, usually dense, that we use regularly.
To solve this problem, we designed a mechanical system that maintains the seal of the containers for these liquids while incorporating an easy-to-use tearing system for the packaging.
Innovation in packaging should not focus solely on design and aesthetics. By observing and analyzing customer behavior, it is possible to design unique packaging that adds value.

Case 10. Easy-open cap for wine bottles with IoT system. IoT prototyping.
Opening wine bottles remains a slow and unergonomic process. It is true that, in many cases, opening a bottle of wine represents a ritual or unique experience, where any innovation may face rejection.
In this prototyping example, the focus was placed on commonly used wine bottles. These bottles are often not consumed in a single day and therefore need to be resealed. This very need gave rise to the initiative of designing an easy-open wine stopper.
On the other hand, most wine producers share a common frustration: the lack of knowledge about what happens to their wine in the market and some post-factory processes. To address this issue, an electronic system with IoT capabilities has been integrated into the stopper itself, allowing the monitoring of key information about the end user's experience with the wine and potential improvements in logistics and storage processes.

The mechanism of the lemon juice machine currently has a registered patent in the United States.
Case 07. Orange juicing machine with an electromechanical self-cleaning system. Machine prototype.
Innovative products are not only those that radically transform existing solutions.
Transforming existing products to incorporate technical improvements that make them easier to use is an excellent option. These additional improvements can also be subject to patents.
Making orange juice with existing machines requires significant effort to clean them after each use cycle. Failing to clean them properly can lead to bacteria that may harm health. Furthermore, the cleaning process for orange juice machines involves a complex and ergonomically challenging disassembly.
The goal of this product was to design a cleaning system that improves the way machines are currently sanitized.
The main challenges in the product design were associated with the development of a mechanism capable of automatically managing the waste generated by the squeezed oranges while directing the pure orange juice to a special container. Additionally, both the waste container and the orange juice container needed to be easily removable to ensure the machine's use was simple and ergonomic.
The machine, in addition to featuring this innovative electromechanical system, includes a fluid management system that enables automatic rinsing of the machine's interior, allowing it to be cleaned properly without effort from the users.
Case 08. Retractable charger. Example of products to sell on Amazon.
Today, electronic devices, especially mobile phones, have become an extension of our body and mind. The constant need for charging requires us to have as many cables, and of as many types, as the devices we own at home. The clutter of these cables can be very inconvenient.
The retractable mobile charger is an invention that seems easy to create at first glance. However, the industrial design of a proprietary retractable system to achieve a high-quality effect has required several hours of product development.
The greatest pride of our prototype factory in Madrid is seeing functional prototypes turned into products available on Amazon or other sales platforms.

Case 05. Sports vest. Example of innovative sportswear.
The development of abdominal muscles is essential, and their aesthetic purpose is the least important aspect. The muscles in the abdominal cavity directly influence posture and play a fundamental role in the quality of life of older adults.
We are all familiar with exercises aimed at developing these muscles. Due to their importance, we have collaborated in the design and manufacture of a garment that promotes the continuous exercise of these muscles, even when not engaging in specific sports activities.
This invention example involves a vest made of textile elements that allows for the ergonomic attachment of various capsules or containers holding liquids of different densities.
The geometric alteration of these capsules and their weight causes continuous instability in the torso, prompting the body to constantly adjust posture through the abdominal cavity muscles. In this way, this example of innovative sportswear influences and maximizes the potential for training these crucial muscles.
Examples of toy prototypes and sports prototypes
In the invention manufacturing laboratory of Let's Prototype, we have participated in the development of several prototypes of toys. In most cases, innovation derives from the interaction of electronic components, capturing user behavior data during the game, to edit the dynamics of the prototype itself, as well as the inclusion of artificial intelligence so that toy prototypes acquire the ability to modify their level of complexity and improve the user experience.
Case 01. Mobile Doorman
The Mobile Goalkeeper is an example of a toy prototype that required the involvement of the industrial design, mechanical engineering, and electronic prototype development departments of our invention factory.
This is a toy prototype that can be easily transported and helps children improve their football accuracy. Although it is designed as a toy, there is no doubt that it is an invention that could easily be used as a gadget or device for sports training.
The system allows movement in 2 planes, governed by its own logic developed by the inventor in collaboration with our electronic invention manufacturing team and custom machine manufacturing team.

Examples of Software Prototypes
Web Prototypes | App Prototypes
In our design and product development laboratory, it's true that 90% of prototypes have a fundamental component of electronics, design, and telecommunications. This trend of IOT prototypes, robots, and electronic prototypes has required us to include in our invention factory a team of developers for both high-level software and low-level software.
Low-level software: Low-level software is software whose main function is to manage hardware components and usually runs directly on the hardware itself. For example, the software installed in the "brain" of the mobile cleaning robot is responsible for controlling its electronic components. All firmware development can be considered low-level software.
High-level software: High-level software is designed and configured to be used by users. For this reason, design, UX principles, are so relevant in high-level software. Web prototypes and mobile application prototypes can be categorized as high-level software.
Here are some examples of prototypes where the development of high-level software was required. In other words, web prototypes and application prototypes. On the other hand, 100% of the prototypes featured on this prototype examples page, in the categories: IOT Prototypes, Electronic Prototypes, and similar, have required low-level programming to achieve their corresponding functions.
Case 01. WEB Prototype - Lexadvisor.net
Lexadvisor is a responsive WEB prototype, capable of being viewed on any type of device without affecting the quality of navigation or user experience.
This is a custom software development based on the latest web development technologies.
The goal of Lexadvisor is to promote relationships among legal professionals and to open communication to potential users in need of their services.
The founders of lexadvisor.net are firmly committed to minimizing client acquisition costs for independent lawyers and law firms, while offering users a clear reference for the professionals they intend to choose as advisors.
Case 02. App for Agriculture | AI Prototype Examples
The development of IoT products for agriculture combined with AI solutions is proving essential for maximizing crop yields and minimizing farmers' efforts.
In this custom app development example, it has been possible to manage electronic devices capable of measuring water quality, temperature, and the quantity available for irrigation systems.
With this prototype, the inventors have already provided significant value to their clients. However, this is only the first step in the prototype development.
The use of the prototype is continuously feeding a database that combines data such as: climatic conditions, pest development, crop yield, and growth rate. Considering these parameters, along with water data stored and sent from the electronic prototype itself, an AI prototype is being developed to predict types of pests for each crop, based on the conditions to which the crops are exposed at any given time. This way, farmers can make better, timely decisions to prevent damage to their crops.

Examples of Sex Toy Prototypes
Sex Toy Prototypes | Sex Toy Development
The development of innovative sex toys is a rapidly growing industry. At our invention factory in Madrid, we have undertaken several projects related to this sector, especially because sex toy prototype development involves highly complex challenges, such as:
- Biocompatible materials are typically used for those product design components that interact with intimate areas.
- Hypoallergenic materials are frequently used throughout almost the entire structure of this type of prototype.
- When electronic elements or IoT layers are involved, regulations are very restrictive for this type of product.
The complexity associated with the development of sex toy products can be comparable to the complexity involved in the development of medical products. This is due both to the high regulatory standards and to the challenges of creating a prototype that meets functional requirements, taking into account the usual limitations in prototyping processes.
Case 01. Electronic Device for Exercising the Male Organ.
The product development in this sex toy example has involved significant challenges in terms of prototype manufacturing and electronic system encapsulation.
This is a robot prototype capable of attaching to male intimate areas, creating a vacuum environment, and performing exercise movements on the male organ through a system of perfectly coordinated motors.
Among the main challenges in developing the first prototype, we identified:
Study of materials compatible with the solution. Engineering study focused on defining optimal materials for the solution, which also needed to be available through the prototyping resources at our Invention Factory in Madrid.
The machine includes a telescopic adjustment system along different axes, with a mechanical surface adhesion mechanism capable of supporting coordinated movements to achieve the prototype's objectives.
