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 02. Bag with umbrella
The bag is one of the fashion accessories most appreciated by women. In rainy situations, carrying it, covering from the rain and without doubt, manipulating the mobile, are actions that are carried out simultaneously.
The invention consists of a bag that includes a mechanical system of portability and deployment of an umbrella that allows to unify the bag and the umbrella in the same product.
During the process of industrial design and manufacture of the prototype, maintaining the balance between the functionality of the prototype and the necessary aesthetics, being a fashion accessory, has been a great challenge.

Case 03. Ladder with legs to integrate into furniture of houses and offices
In order to facilitate access to aerial furniture in kitchens and other environments of homes and offices, a functional prototype has been developed whose fundamental requirements were to achieve a system of steps that could be folded or deployed with two steps and mechanical movements that did not involve a great effort to users. Getting the prototype to be stored in a drawer with a height of less than 10 cm was a real challenge.
Both the identification of regulations that affect the prototype, and the study of the standards to obtain a checklist that will affect the design of a functional prototype that also complies with the standards, has represented a real challenge.
In the design process of the prototype, the analysis of materials, structure and all the necessary details were taken into account to achieve a robust yet aesthetic prototype.

Case 06. Pacifier with Vertical Drop.
Currently, in general, pacifiers are designed in a way that allows babies to suck or suck the nipple, in addition to being perfectly coupled over a baby's mouth. However, it happens that when a pacifier falls to the floor, the teat is in contact with the ground, so it is necessary to wash and even sterilize it to protect babies from possible infections. On the other hand, in general, they do not have the means to protect the teat or hide it when it is not in use, in addition to lacking means that allow a quick location of it even during the night.
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.

Examples of IOT prototypes
IOT (Internet of Things) prototypes are technological, physical products with which we usually interact in different processes and, as a singular feature, they allow the collection of relevant data and send them to the cloud so that we can later process them and obtain relevant information remotely.
The proliferation of IOT technology has accelerated the development of prototypes that make us obtain more information from the processes and therefore, be more efficient. Here are some examples of IOT prototypes manufactured in our invention manufacturing lab.
Case 01. IOT lamps.
The situation of reduced mobility that we all suffered in the pandemic stage, was one of the most important drivers in the promotion of IoT solutions. In our IOT invention manufacturing laboratory, we develop more than a dozen IOT prototypes at this stage. Undoubtedly, Luzea was one of the most complete projects of this period.
Luzea is a solution that allows devotees to pay tribute to their religious icons through candles that can be managed and monitored from a mobile app from any geographical point in the world.
In a very important number of churches, including some in the Vatican, physical lamps have been included, which are especially related to the design of the characteristic interiors of churches. From the mobile app, from any geographical point, users can light the candles and see them in real time.
