2. © Copyright 2007, Prototype Productions, Incorporated. All rights reserved Commercialization Commercialization for APL means selecting and working with a commercial partner, often through licensing. A successful prototyping effort will improve the value of the license and speed time to market.

3. © Copyright 2007, Prototype Productions, Incorporated. All rights reserved Risk Reduction Licensing implies reduction in risk for the licensee and allows them to allocate their in-house resources to other projects or technologies. In order to commercialize and bring technology out of the lab, it must be made readily accessible to the licensee.

4. © Copyright 2007, Prototype Productions, Incorporated. All rights reserved Best License Value Best license value: –Most risk reduction –Most direct fit for commercial partner License value can be negotiated based on maturity of technology and risks that have been addressed prior to licensing.

5. © Copyright 2007, Prototype Productions, Incorporated. All rights reserved Experimentation Risk reduction requires experimentation in the most challenging areas of the design. Effective prototyping is critical to effective experimentation. Successful experimental results strengthen the license.

6. © Copyright 2007, Prototype Productions, Incorporated. All rights reserved Cost of Prototyping Prototyping can be costly: –low volume –no ability to amortize NRE –High setup costs with traditional methods Prioritize prototyping efforts: –Does it further the core technology? –Does it improve value of license? –Functional or Cosmetic? –Valuable experimentation?

7. © Copyright 2007, Prototype Productions, Incorporated. All rights reserved So, In Summary… Prototype experimentally on the riskiest aspects of design first, to make best use of funds. Keep the commercial partner in mind when deciding what needs to be prototyped. Carefully consider the manufacturing methods used in their existing products

8. © Copyright 2007, Prototype Productions, Incorporated. All rights reserved Mechanical Prototyping Methods in Detail Traditional metalworking methods are well developed and understood. Rapid prototyping has recently become mature and widely accepted. The methods are well understood. Both methods have their place and are often used in combination.

10. © Copyright 2007, Prototype Productions, Incorporated. All rights reserved Recommendation Alternative: Design for manufacture from plastic where possible, and utilize one of three primary Rapid Prototyping methods shown on the following pages. Plastic is widely used for manufacture of fully commercialized (cost- reduced) product, and demonstrates sophistication, evolution of a design, and shows that cost was considered during initial development.
