This comprehensive guide by Tariq Al-Murbati outlines the essential steps in transforming an initial sketch into a market-ready product. It covers defining features and functions, finding prototype materials, assembly techniques, shaping the prototype, testing for manufacturability, and refining the design for cost-effectiveness. The final stage emphasizes preparing for mass production by contacting suppliers and manufacturers. Whether you're an aspiring inventor or a seasoned designer, this step-by-step approach will help you bring your ideas to life effectively.

1- Sketch, list features and functions • Features define the physical feelings and appearance, while functions describe capabilities. In other words, what does your idea looks like, and what it can do ?
2- Prototype functionality Find items at home, hardware stores whichhave one or more of the functions of the idea. Carefully separate the needed parts and pieces from those items to use in your prototype. This step helps identify the type of materials you may be used during manufacturing
3- Assembly required Use hot glue, staples, tape or anything that get the prototype to be assembled. This step focuses to help functionality.
4- Prototype form The goal of this step is to shape andform the prototype, based on the initial sketch and the functioning prototype.
5- Test for manufacturability The prototype is ready to be tested physically by creating replicas of the part throughsimple molds.
6- Repeat as needed parts which made or used to create the prototype can be re-changed as needed for manufacturability or to minimize the cost.
7- Final product • This is a final stage, the sketch of the prototype is solid. Start contacting supplier & manufacturers to turn the prototype into a mass production.
