Project Background & Client Requirements
The client aimed to validate two core features of the portable speaker: portability + premium tactile feel.
However, traditional solutions had critical drawbacks:
- Pure ABS Prototypes: Hard texture, poor grip experience
- Pure Fabric Prototypes: Prone to structural deformation, unsuitable for functional testing
To address these pain points, we proposed the “ABS structural strength + premium fabric touch” hybrid solution, achieving:
- Consistent structural stability during repeated testing
- Prototype appearance and texture closely matching mass production standards
- Over 30% reduction in design modification cycles
Key Features & Advantages
1️⃣Durable Structure
ABS material offers excellent impact resistance and thermal stability, resisting cracks even after repeated testing.
2️⃣Elevated Tactile Quality
Soft, anti-slip fabric surface significantly enhances product premium.
3️⃣Precision Craftsmanship
Seamless fabric wrapping with glue-free edges, delivering near-mass-production finish.
4️⃣Rapid Delivery
7-day prototype turnaround, supporting fast re-prototyping after design revisions.
5️⃣Cost-effective
Minimum order of 50 units for small batches, reducing early-stage development costs

FAQs
Q1: Is the fabric easy to get dirty?
The fabric is coated with a water-repellent layer. Minor stains can be wiped clean with a damp cloth without fading.
Q2: Can the fabric wrapping be made detachable?
Yes. We can add Velcro or buckle structures for easy post-production maintenance.
Q3: What is the minimum prototyping order quantity?
10 units minimum; preferential prototype pricing applies to orders of 10–50 units.
Q4: What design file formats are supported?
3D files (STEP/IGS) and 2D dimensioned drawings (PDF) are accepted.
