Prototyping (NPD)
Build fast, functional prototypes to turn your ideas into reality. Experts in New Product Development (NPD). Our core prototyping capabilities include:
- Hardware Development - PCB design, sensor integration, and embedded firmware
- Smart Connectivity - BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, GSM/GPS-enabled prototypes
- Enclosure Design - 3D modeling and rapid mechanical prototyping
- Quick Iteration - Fast testing and refinement cycles for field-ready results
From Research to Realization
The journey from concept to real-world impact begins with a prototype. At Arctano, we collaborate with various industries, academic institutions, R&D labs, startups, and corporates to co-develop smart, scalable, and production-ready prototypes. Whether it's an experimental medical device, a smart sensor, or an industrial automation system—we bring your vision to life.
- Validate early-stage ideas with functional proof-of-concepts
- Reduce technical risks by identifying flaws and inefficiencies early
- Accelerate innovation cycles with rapid design iterations
- Secure funding and approvals with compelling demos and MVPs

Who can collaborate with Arctano for prototyping?
We welcome collaborations from universities, research labs, startups, and corporate R&D teams. Whether you're an academic working on a funded research project or a product team building a new solution, our prototyping services are open to all innovation-driven partners.
How long does it take to build a prototype?
The timeline depends on the complexity of the project. We follow an agile development process and provide regular updates at each milestone.
Do we need to provide all design inputs, or can you assist from ideation?
We can support you at any stage. If you already have schematics or block diagrams, we’ll take it forward from there. If you’re starting from scratch, our team can help with architecture, component selection, and system design.
How is intellectual property (IP) handled?
We maintain strict confidentiality for all projects. IP ownership can be defined in the project agreement—either retained by you, co-developed with joint rights, or transferred upon completion, based on your needs.
