Satisfied Customers
After looking for a couple of years, and working with sub-par MFG’s, I finally found Mike and HexCorp. And what a find it’s been! Mike has been nothing but helpful and professional. He is realistic, telling you everything up front. His process from vision to production and delivery is explained thoroughly, each step of the way
Over the years of working with Mike and Hexcorp, I gained a phenomenal wealth of knowledge, savvy business resources & valuable tips that I continue to use year after year. They created a whole product fulfillment system for my manufacturing company, something I NEVER could’ve done alone and for a very reasonable cost
Mr. Hexter was very engaging and generous with his time and information. I learned a lot in my 20 minutes . . . He has a great thing going
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step when I have an idea for a new product?
The real beginning is understanding the product itself. The first step is to gain clarity on what your product needs to do, whether it can be manufactured, how complex it will be, and what realistic next steps look like. Once you understand the product side, you can make more informed decisions about future steps, including when to explore patent conversations. HexCorp helps you understand the full path from idea to product so you can move forward with confidence.
How do I know if my idea is feasible to produce?
Feasibility depends on factors like design complexity, materials, mechanical function, and cost targets. HexCorp helps you evaluate whether your idea can be produced affordably and efficiently or whether a simpler or modified version would make more sense. This early review helps prevent unnecessary spending.
Do I need a prototype before speaking with a patent attorney?
You do not always need a finished prototype, but having clarity on how your idea works can make your conversation with a patent attorney much more productive. HexCorp helps you define key features, refine the concept, and understand how the product will actually function. This preparation usually makes the legal process smoother and more cost effective.
What level of detail do I need before starting product design?
You do not need technical drawings. Most clients begin with simple sketches, photos, reference products, or a rough description of how it should work. HexCorp turns early ideas into structured design directions that can be developed into real prototypes and manufactured parts.
How much does it cost to patent my invention?
Patent costs vary widely depending on the invention and the type of protection you are seeking. Wee help inventors understand their product and the early development steps so they can work more effectively with their patent attorney. By gaining clarity on what your product needs to do, how it works, and which features matter most, you can enter patent conversations better prepared and more confident.
How much does it usually cost to turn an idea into a product?
Costs vary depending on complexity, prototype type, materials, engineering requirements, tooling, and production volume. Many first time inventors are unsure which costs matter most or how to begin without overspending. HexCorp specializes in helping clients start on a reasonable budget by focusing only on the steps that truly matter and by offering very low manufacturing minimums. These low volume options are ideal for new products because they reduce upfront cost and make early launches much more practical. We explain what to expect at each stage so you can move forward confidently and stay within a plan that fits your goals.
How can HexCorp help me understand the early steps before I move forward with patents or production?
HexCorp specializes in guiding clients through the first steps of product development. We help you understand the correct order of steps, what can wait, what needs to happen now, what level of prototype you need, and what each stage is likely to cost. Many clients say a short call with us gave them clarity that they could not find elsewhere. HexCorp acts as the helpful first step in the product development process.
