Hardware Prototype Development for Consumer Product
Worldwide
I’m developing a small consumer product and need a working hardware prototype built for proof-of-concept testing. The product is a small, capsule-size device 1-2" that can be placed into a glass and uses gentle vibration to keep ingredients (like chia seeds or powdered supplements) from settling at the bottom. This is an early-stage prototype, focus is on functionality, not final design or manufacturing readiness. Create a fully functional prototype that demonstrates: continuous or intermittent micro-vibration in liquid, ability to reduce or prevent ingredient settling, safe use in a glass of water or beverage, compact, self-contained form (rough capsule shape). Scope of Work 1. Component Selection • Identify and source: o Small vibration motor o Battery (coin cell or rechargeable) o Basic switch or activation method • Recommend simple, cost-effective setup ________________________________________ 2. Prototype Design • Design internal layout of components • Create simple casing (can be: o Off-the-shelf capsule OR o 3D printed housing) ________________________________________ 3. Assembly • Build working prototype • Ensure: o Device activates vibration reliably o Components are secured internally ________________________________________ 4. Basic Waterproofing • Prototype should be water-resistant or sealed enough for short-term testing in liquid (Not required to be production-grade waterproof) ________________________________________ 5. Testing + Demonstration • Provide: o Short video of device operating in liquid o Confirmation it produces consistent vibration ________________________________________ 6. Delivery • Ship completed prototype to California (USA) ________________________________________ ✅ Deliverables • 1–2 working prototype units • List of components used • Basic explanation of how it works • Video demo of device in use Budget negotiable
