Osilab prints or receives your prototype, runs simple agreed tests, and gives you a clear, no-drama report on what works and what doesn’t.

Prototype Test & Validation Lite

This contracting service structured way to get real feedback on your early hardware. Osilab performs basic functional checks, fit tests, or simple stress/usage trials and summarizes the results in a short, actionable report with recommendations for the next iteration.

  • Definition of simple, realistic tests based on your prototype’s goals (fit, function, basic durability, usability, etc.)
  • Fabrication or receipt of the prototype (often via Osilab’s 3D printing service)
  • Execution of pre-agreed tests (e.g., repeated use, basic load, assembly fit checks)
  • A concise written summary of results: what worked, what failed, and where to improve
  • High-level recommendations for design changes or next tests

Perfect for:

  • Early-stage founders who need more than “it looks okay” before ordering more parts
  • Inventors wanting lightweight validation before spending on tooling or large batches
  • Student teams who must show basic testing and iteration for their project

How pricing works:

  • Simple single-prototype test package: starting from $150, depending on test complexity and whether printing is included
  • If Osilab also prints the part, 3D printing costs are added based on size and material
  • More involved or repeated testing (multiple prototypes, multiple scenarios) is custom-quoted as a small project

Test definition

You share what the prototype is supposed to do (fit, function, durability, ergonomics, etc.) and what you’re worried about. Together, we pick a small set of simple, realistic tests (for example: “fit with part X,” “survives 20 cycles,” “holds Y kg without visible damage”).

Prepare and receive the prototype

Either Osilab prints the prototype (using your files or paired with the CAD service) or you ship your existing part. We confirm the test setup, any special handling notes, and the conditions you care about (temperature, orientation, use-case).

Run structured tests

Osilab performs the agreed tests: fit checks, repeated use, light loading, basic dimensional checks, or other simple scenarios defined in Step 1. Observations, failures, and surprising behaviors are noted so you don’t just get a “yes/no,” but real context.

Report & next-iteration guidance

You receive a short, clear summary: what worked, what didn’t, where the design struggled, and what that likely means. The report includes concrete suggestions for the next design iteration or follow-up tests, so you know exactly how to move forward instead of guessing.
