Bringing a new product to market is no easy challenge. When Dame Products set out to build a vibrator for couples, they needed to go from a rough idea to a finished product with minimal funds in only a few months. Using multiple desktop 3D printers, Dame built over a 100 prototypes, validated their idea, and launched a product. The result? They launched the most successful crowdfunding campaign in their category, ever.

In this webinar we’re going to compare different 3D printing technologies, dive into how Dame engineered a personal device with complex engineering challenges, and discuss the key principles required to launch a successful Kickstarter. By the end you’ll understand not only how Dame used prototyping to successfully launch a product with crowdfunding, but how to apply that to your product, too.

What you will learn:

  • The different types of prototypes, and why each type is important.
  • The specific amount of time and resources it took Dame to develop prototypes for Eva, their first product.
  • The differences between material properties, surface quality, and costs across different 3D printing technologies.
  • Best practices for preparing and promoting a campaign on Kickstarter.
  • How Dame was easily able to source testimonials and production-quality product shots for their crowdfunding videos.
