"Dirt Cheap Prototypes has not only done a great job of assisting me with the development and manufacturing of my primary product, but by following their advice I was able to do all of the manufacturing and test marketing of my product for about 50% less than what I had originally budgeted for my product development and launch. In addition to the savings they connected me with excellent resources for shipping, warehousing, marketing and fulfillment. I also now have several new products I am developing with their assistance. Thank you DCP!"

"I am a professional inventor with a lot of hands on product development experience. I was very pleased with the quality of work that Dirt Cheap Prototypes performed engineering my product and building a high quality prototype for a passive solar invention I am developing.

“As a competitive baseball player I was ecstatic to see my product commercialized when I licensed it to Louisville Slugger - GameMaster Athletic in 2010. I recently received my 2nd baseball product patent on a related product that is quite technical. When I approached the major manufacturers with this new technology they told me they would like to see a high quality working prototype in order to make decisions on partnerships. I was referred to Dirt Cheap Prototypes and have been very pleased with the breakthroughs and progress in the development of my new product since working with them. I hope to work with Dirt Cheap Prototypes all the way through to the production of my product and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for professional assistance with the physical development of their new product.”

“Working with the DCP product development team to create a high quality prototype was a very positive experience for me. They asked questions, listened carefully and checked and double checked everything before completing my prototype. I know how hard it can be to develop high quality hand made prototypes but they came as close as I could have possibly hoped. With my high quality samples and website I am now generating a lot of interest and preorders and am hoping to do my first production run with DCP's help very soon.
Thank you for making my prototype development as important to you as it was to me!.”

Dear Dirt Cheap Prototypes, I just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work you have committed to me and my product to help my dream become a reality. To think that this started as an idea on paper when we first spoke and that we have worked together side by side to develop this into a real product.
The prototypes you made exceeded my expectations. They are amazing. In fact I was so pleased with the quality that I used them to create an infomercial to test market it and plan on using them to introduce my product to distributors and retailers as well. Win or lose, I know that I have done everything I can to make my product successful and done it the right way thanks to your help and guidance.

"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 product 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 market."

“Working with Dirt Cheap Prototypes has been a great experience. Using a 60 second virtual prototype demo I generated more interest and excitement in my product myself in the first month than I did over the last 2 years working with an invention marketing company! I then had DCP develop a physical prototype for my product and was pleased with the results as well. The quality of their services has been excellent and their personal input has always been extremely helpful when making important decisions on my product. Now I have investors in my product and hope to order the tooling through DCP soon to get my first production run so I can start selling my product in the market."

“Working with DCP manufacturing team has been a real pleasure. Even though my manufacturing process was met with some hurdles, everything was managed well and with the utmost professionalism. They were very patient with me and my questions/concerns with manufacturing overseas. And when things didn’t work out according to plan, they were always available to talk and assure me that everything will work out, which it did. I would recommend DCP's services to any of my friends and have done so already and have also engaged them to manufacture two more products I have developed.”

“The DCP product development team has been very hard working, up front and honest. Having years of hands on product development tinkering I know how challenging physical product development can be and I truly feel I found the right team to work with. They put 100% into my product and made it as important to them as it is to me. It has also been nice to be have conversations about my legal, manufacturing and marketing strategies with one team of professionals who understand everything as opposed to many unrelated people and companies."*

“Our impression is, very nice! Once again very impressive. Khley and I talked it over and thought that it might be a good idea to show the Fiber Optic cable and carriage on the models because we think that it's important to show how the fiber optic cable reacts to the movement (flexing) of the pole. There is also one other thing with the molding of the fiber optic cable into the clear tip of the pole (see attachment).
Please thank the DCP team for us. Everything is looking great!”

“I found Dirt Cheap Prototypes on recommendation from a friend who also worked with DCP and working with DCP has been a great experience! From start to finish they have been very competent and professional with the design development of my product. I am ecstatic with the final design I have approved and am excited to receive the completed prototype of my new electric coffee maker. I also had the completed design and production drawings reviewed by another engineer and they were highly impressed with the quality of DCP’s work. I highly recommend DCP to anyone who feels they need to design and build a high quality prototype to attract the outside interest and strategic partnerships they are seeking to take their product to market."
