I am a VERY beginning independent designer with a simple decorative houseware product. I have a technical sketch and specific ideas about materials. The problem is, I don’t know how to get prototyping done.
It’s a rubber product and all the custom rubber molding places do tiny tool parts and act like I am crazy when I ask if they can help with a prototype my object.
I either end up finding resources for things that are too highly engineered, like medical equipment or non-aesthetic rubber objects like rubber gaskets.
Any ideas to help get me to the next stage?
Thanks so much.
