Elevate Your Prototyping Process with Rigorous Testing & Data Generation
We offer comprehensive Testing & Data Generation services designed to ensure your prototypes operate as intended. Our capabilities include performing rigorous tests and generating crucial data that support the development of medical-grade prototypes, ensuring compliance and reliability.
Key Applications of Our Testing & Data Generation Service
Regulatory Compliance
Our testing protocols provide essential data for regulatory approval processes such as obtaining UKCA/CE marking. We meticulously design and carry out tests that are well-documented, ensuring due diligence is evident in the design phase.
For example, when validating a watertight prototype, we follow stringent testing protocols, including IPX6 ratings, where devices are blasted with water from a specific distance and under controlled conditions. This thorough documentation not only helps to secure necessary certifications but also instills confidence in your product's reliability.
Performance Validation
We implement custom sensors within prototypes to gather data on their performance, allowing us to evaluate the effectiveness of your product in real-world scenarios. This capability extends to comparative analysis, where we can place sensors on competing devices.
Using this data, we can quantitatively demonstrate how your product outperforms existing solutions. The insights gained through this testing are invaluable for marketing your product, providing evidence-based statistics that enhance your pitches to stakeholders and investors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of product testing does ARC Studio Ltd offer for regulatory preparation?
ARC Studio designs and carries out physical testing protocols to assess whether a prototype meets specific performance and durability criteria, such as water resistance (e.g. IPX6), drop resilience (e.g. US military standards), or structural integrity.
These tests are carefully documented, sensor responses are captured using embedded systems, and Python scripts are written to process and visualise the results. This provides robust evidence that can support UKCA and CE regulatory submissions.
Can ARC Studio generate quantitative data to prove that a new product outperforms existing solutions?
Yes — we can embed custom sensor systems into both your prototype and competing products to measure real-world performance metrics in controlled scenarios.
By processing and comparing data captured during testing, we can provide clear, statistically supported insights into the effectiveness of your product. This data can be used to refine designs, support grant applications, or create persuasive marketing claims backed by real evidence.
What kind of sensors and data analysis methods are used in the testing process?
We use a range of sensors — including humidity, fluid ingress, strain, impact, and environmental — depending on the needs of the test. These are integrated with platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi for data capture.
The resulting datasets are processed using custom Python scripts, allowing for detailed filtering, visualisation, and analysis that transforms raw data into actionable insights or presentation-ready charts and graphs.
Can ARC Studio verify mechanical and dimensional performance during prototyping?
Absolutely. We can use both simulation and physical testing methods to assess the performance of mechanical components. This includes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) during the design phase and real-world destructive or stress testing using specialist machinery.
We can also measure machined or cast parts to confirm they meet specified tolerances, ensuring your components are both fit for purpose and ready for further development or certification.
