Sherman offers a complete set of design and manufacturing capabilities for prototype models, along with professional guidance and engineering consultation, to provide clients with the direction they need during this critical stage of new product development.
Sherman, a leading provider of design, development, and manufacturing services in Israel, offers an end-to-end turnkey prototype preparation service—from formulating and refining the structural and engineering concept through planning and computer simulation to manufacturing a representative prototype model using a wide range of available materials and technologies, tailored to the client's requirements and needs.
A prototype is a basic model of a final product used for examination, testing, and experimentation before proceeding to mass production. For the entrepreneur/client and the project, it represents one of the most critical stages in product development and its journey towards perfection, often needed for investment purposes. This simple truth is a cornerstone of our prototype preparation service. Accordingly, the company provides the service with great dedication, investing time and professional expertise in the client, recruiting relevant experts, and utilizing all available planning, simulation, and production technologies.
The prototype preparation service is provided either as an integral component of engineering development processes or as a standalone service, encompassing three key stages from concept to reality:
- Planning – Formulating a complete specification that best meets the need, including design, configuration, dimensions, engineering planning, materials, components, mechanics, user experience, and cost and economic feasibility analysis.
- Simulation – Building the prototype model on 3D simulation software, component by component, part by part, until the entire product is assembled as a single functional unit, complete with all details, even the smallest ones.
- Prototype Production – Manufacturing the prototype using the optimal mix of materials and production technologies for the specific prototype. We have a wide range of production technologies available for prototype development, including 3D printing, CNC machining, casting, assembly, laser cutting, welding, bending, coating, injection molding, wiring, and more.
The prototype preparation service aims to provide the client with an authentic and representative prototype model that can be used for reliable examination of the final product across all required aspects, including design, user experience, engineering functionality, material performance, durability under relevant conditions, regulatory compliance, interaction with the environment, and, finally, overall functional testing. Upon successful testing, the prototype can be approved for mass production.
Sherman offers the broadest range of both advanced and traditional technologies for prototype preparation, covering all components from computerized design to the production of the final feasibility model. This is precisely why hundreds of entrepreneurs, engineers, technologists, and companies in Israel choose to work with our professionals to develop their new products—from concept to reality through the prototype stage.
