UNIVERSITY PRODUCT TESTING & PROTOTYPING

Product testing is a research methodology that involves investigating potential

customers’ reactions to a product or service being developed, before launching it
onto the market.

Why is product testing important?

Reliable performance data supports your product development journey in a

variety of ways. At prototype stage it will help you decide if your idea is worth
pursuing, and as you advance in the development it will tell you where you need
to make improvements to get it market-ready.

Developing a new product involves a degree of experimentation. Reliable data

will help you identify and solve issues with your product, see what aspects need
improving, and discover ways to lower costs.

And when you’re ready to go out to your market, it will help convince investors
to believe in you, and provide evidence for product claims. You might also need
scientifically-backed data to ensure you meet industry or market regulations.

Benefits:
• Ensure quality and reliability in your products
• Reduce overall costs
• Understand your product’s life expectancy
• Reduce your customer’s aftercare needs

What we offer:
• Competitive Costing
• Access to state of the art equipment and facilities
• Student product testing & prototyping projects
• Flexible Product Testing & Prototyping solutions
• University collaboration opportunities

Costing:

Due to the bespoke nature of our product

testing and prototyping, each project is costed
on an individual basis.
