Design Service provider BD Prototypes ltd is located in Manchester, UK

BD Prototypes ltd has worked across a wide range of industries including Bluetooth-enabled and IoT hardware, bespoke sensing systems, wearable electronics, domestic consumer products, and light-industrial devices. We support projects that require practical embedded systems development, integrated electronics and mechanical design, and robust prototypes suitable for real-world testing.

Our clients range from global manufacturers such as YKK®, the world’s largest zipper manufacturer, to numerous early-stage start-ups looking for fast, reliable, and cost-effective hardware development. We have delivered electronics, firmware, enclosures, mechanisms, and integrated electromechanical solutions that extend far beyond simple demonstration units.

We have developed products and prototypes using a wide range of embedded technologies, including ATmega and ATtiny microcontrollers, ESP32, STM32 (F0/F4 families), nRF52 BLE SoCs, SAMD21, and custom ARM-based designs. Our work also spans platforms such as Arduino, Teensy, Adafruit Feather, ESP-IDF, STM32 Nucleo, and Discovery boards, enabling rapid proof-of-concept development that transitions smoothly into custom PCB designs.

Our services cover the full hardware development lifecycle, including product ideation, electronics and PCB design (digital, analog, RF, BLE, and low-power systems), embedded firmware development, integration of electronics with mechanical assemblies, rapid prototyping, short-run hardware builds, mechanical and enclosure design, SLA 3D printing, machining, laser cutting, small-batch manufacturing, Design for Manufacture (DFM), preparation of fabrication data, and assistance with pre-compliance testing and certification workflows.

BD Prototypes is a UK-based product development and engineering consultancy specialising in end-to-end hardware design and rapid prototyping. By combining electronic, mechanical, and embedded-software expertise with in-house SLA printing and fast build capabilities, we accelerate development and streamline costs. We support clients from concept through to scalable production, providing the technical foundation, documentation, and practical engineering needed to move products confidently toward market deployment across the UK and EU.
