Solving a Problem

 

Phone Frame was invented by Mick to help solve the problem of motorists being injured and killed in accidents caused by texting while driving. Phone Frame is a picture frame phone holder that provides a visual reminder (usually a gift from loved ones) to drivers not to use their phones while they are driving.

 

When Mick first contacted DCP, Phone frame was just an idea on paper and Mick wanted to develop a high quality product sample that he could use for test markets and fundraising.  

 

Prototype Design

 

Starting with only sketches on paper, the DCP design team collaborated with Mick to develop a design for his invention that could be physically prototyped in order to test out his concept.  After several back and forth design refinements Mick approved the design and hired DCP to make his first physical prototype.   

​​

First Physical Prototype (50%)

 

DCP completed and shipped the prototype to Mick upon his approval of the prototype pictures.  When Mick received, examined and tested his first prototype he realized there were many shortcomings and areas of improvement.  Based on what he learned from his first physical prototype, Mick invented numerous design improvements that could not have been identified without the first physical prototype iteration.

 

Product Improvements / 2nd Prototype (90%)

 

The DCP team then collaborated with Mick to design and build a 2nd prototype of his product.  Mick was very happy as this prototype exceeded Mick’s expectations. He loved it! 

​

Very pleased with the design of his 2nd prototype, Mick asked DCP to provide him with as much detail as possible that he could provide to his patent attorney for the legal filings.

​

Our engineers wrote an abstract, technical specifications and also created high quality figures from the CAD design based on the 2nd prototype design and provided them to Mick.  Mick then forwarded the technical package to his patent attorney to aid the them in the preparation and filing of his provisional patent application.

 

Mick is now working on developing the investment needed to manufacture his product.

Testimonial

 

"Working with DCP on the development of my product has been a fantastic experience. Taking my invention from a concept on paper to a high quality physical prototype I can hold in my hands and actually touch, feel, and interact with took my product to a whole new level that was not possible before.  

 

The quality of work and professionalism of the DCP team has been exceptional and I would highly recommend them to anyone who feels a high quality prototype will help them in their efforts to attract the interest they are looking for to take their product to the next level."
