Questions, answered.
How do I order a product prototype?
Three options: (1) Send your Genpire tech pack as RFQ to vetted prototype manufacturers — quotes in 24-48h. (2) Use a 3D printing service for plastic parts. (3) Use a sample-maker for apparel and soft goods. Genpire handles the tech-pack-creation step that's typically a 2-4 week prerequisite.
What do I need to order a prototype?
Required: a complete tech pack (drawings, dimensions, BOM, construction notes). Helpful: target retail price, target MOQ for bulk, deadline. Genpire's tech pack covers everything most prototype manufacturers need; without one, expect endless email back-and-forth on missing specs.
How much does a product prototype cost?
Apparel: $50-300 per unit. Footwear: $200-800 per unit. Jewelry: $50-500 per unit. Furniture: $500-3000 per unit. Electronics: highly variable depending on tooling. Genpire's tech pack accuracy reduces revision rounds, controlling total cost.
How do I pay for a prototype order?
Standard prototype payment: 50% deposit at order placement, 50% balance on shipment. Payment is typically wire transfer or platform-mediated (Genpire's RFQ flow). Some factories accept PayPal for small prototype orders; large orders go via wire. Confirm payment terms before placing the order.
What's included in a prototype order quote?
A prototype quote should specify: per-unit cost, sample fee (separate from production cost), tooling fee if applicable, lead time, payment terms, shipping costs, and rework policy if revisions are needed. Genpire's RFQ flow standardizes these so quotes are comparable across factories.
Can I cancel a prototype order after placing it?
Cancellation policy varies by factory. Standard: cancellation before production starts is usually free; after production starts, deposit is forfeit. Always confirm cancellation terms in writing before paying the deposit. Most factories will allow modifications mid-prototype if requested early.
What happens if my prototype has issues?
Document the issues against your tech pack (e.g. 'measurement at hem is 28cm vs spec of 30cm'). Request a revision round — usually included in the prototype cost or charged at lower marginal cost. If issues stem from tech pack ambiguity, refine the tech pack before next round.
Can I order a prototype from overseas?
Yes. Most prototype manufacturers in Genpire's network are international. Trade-offs: lower cost vs longer shipping (1-2 weeks). Tracking shipping is critical — overseas prototypes can get stuck in customs. Genpire's RFQ flow tracks the full chain from order to delivery.
