Prototyping
Prototyping allows ideas to be tested in the real world. It provides valuable insight into form, function and usability before committing to production.
Apollo Designs creates prototypes that clearly satisfy our client’s needs. These vary from 3D CAD prototypes to physical products manufactured in our in-house workshop using state-of-the-art 3D printing and fabrication methods. This range of prototyping options allows us to create prototypes that are manufacturable, testable and aligned with your product requirements

Frequently asked questions
What industries and design disciplines do you work in?
Apollo Designs works across a wide range of product design and engineering disciplines. Our core experience includes industrial, automotive, aerospace, and mechanical product design but we’re not limited to these sectors. If you have an idea or product outside these areas, we’re always open to discussing how our skills and process could support your project.
Do you work with individuals as well as companies?
Yes, absolutely. Apollo Designs supports individuals, startups and established businesses alike. Our team structure and pricing are designed to be flexible, allowing us to tailor a scope of work that suits your project, experience level and budget.
Can you support just one stage of the design process?
Yes. While our services cover the full product development lifecycle, each stage can be undertaken independently. We are always happy to investigate how we can join a project at any point and tailor our support to what you need right now.
How do you approach project costs and budgeting?
We work collaboratively to define a clear scope and budget before starting. Our approach focuses on transparency and value, helping you invest in the right level of design support at each stage.
Do you help with manufacturing and supplier selection?
Yes. Through our trusted supplier network we support through manufacturing, including supplier selection, technical liaison and quality assurance. You’re also free to use your own suppliers if you prefer.
Do I need a fully defined brief before getting started?
No. Apollo Designs is set up to allow clients to come to us with early ideas rather than a complete specification. Part of our role is to help shape and clarify your brief so you can move forward with confidence.
I have a design question, can I get in touch?
Absolutely. We’re always happy to hear from people who are looking to get started in design and engineering or who simply have a question they’d like to discuss. Please use our Contact page to get in touch with the team and we’ll do what we can to help.
