When it comes to deciding what kind of prototype you need to have produced for your invention you have more then one options. Most commonly a Non-working (Mock-up) or Working prototype.
MOCK-UP: The Mock-Up prototype will have aesthetic details based on your graphics but it will not have the working functions. This is used to verify that all the aesthetics and appearance match what you had envisioned. This kind of prototype will be suitable for your marketing research, photo shoots to use on marketing brochures, also to determine your packaging options. Much less expensive than the Working prototype , can be customized with different textures, colors or other appearance details.
WORKING: This is your product come alive, with all functions active and operational. Now you can finally test it and make sure that all is working according to plans. You invention is finally in your hands! This is the last stage of prototyping before you proceed to the tooling production that will be necessary to mass produce the fruit of your creativity.
