Here is a list of the most commonly asked questions about product design, development, and prototyping.
Can BTI help me design my product?
Butler Technologies, Inc. (BTI) is equipped to handle all your design needs, from napkin sketches or rough concepts to prototypes and into production. We can help innovate your existing products to add value, reduce cost, or satisfy customers' needs.
What is the R2P2 Program?
Rapid Response Prototype Program (R2P2) is our way of helping customers achieve quick prototypes. The R2P2 program is for user interface products, including labels, graphic overlays, and membrane switches.
The expected timeframe for production and delivery depends on our current in-house capacity and whether we have all the materials needed for your prototype’s design in stock. We can deliver rapid prototype graphic overlays and rapid prototype membrane switches within an approximate 2-week time frame upon your business’s approval of Butler Technologies’ design.
