Often, a drawing of your idea isn't enough. You need to make a prototype, a test model, to see if the idea will work in real life. Prototyping allows you to work out bugs and iterate designs and it can highlight critical flaws in your design that need to be addressed before you make the final object.

Here are two companies that make great products for prototyping your ideas. They are not sponsors.

Smooth-On makes the best platinum silicones we have used. You can make high quality molds with nearly 0% shrinkage without a vacuum pump. Their silicones are perfect for creating temporary back up molds in your design process. They also produce 2-part urethane resins you can use for prototyping.
