Why Microspot

The added value of the service

We work alongside creative and technical teams with an end-to-end approach, ensuring consistency from concept through prototyping to delivery.

Co-design with the client

Multidisciplinary teams interpret the brief and translate it into scalable solutions.

Rapid iterations

In-house workshops let us validate materials, finishes and assemblies in short timeframes.

Physical storytelling

We create high-impact mock-ups for presentations, photo shoots and functional checks.

What we can do

  • Appearance models of products, displays and architectural components
  • Soft-tooling moulds and fixtures for small series
  • Finish samples and material palettes for quick approvals
  • Support with technical documentation and industrialisation

Frequently asked questions: prototyping

What kind of prototypes do you make?

Appearance and functional models of products, displays and architectural components, mock-ups for presentations and photo shoots, and finish and material samples.

Which technologies do you use for prototypes?

We combine 3D printing, CNC milling and laser cutting, paint booths and hand finishing, with in-house assembly and wiring workshops.

Do you also handle the move to production?

Yes: we support technical documentation and industrialisation, with soft-tooling moulds and fixtures for small batches and pilot runs.
