# Maker Prototyping Gadgets The tinylab Prototyping System Enables Customized Technology Products By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-01-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prototyping-system References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/awesome-tinylab-prototyping-system-ships-in-may-from-59-13-01-2016/) & [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tinylab-prototype-easier-than-ever--2) The rise of the Internet of Things (IOT) has given way to [makers of all kinds creating products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-intelligence) that are smart in a bevy of different ways, so the tinylab Prototyping System is designed to help make making even better. While makers are traditionally confined to using a base system and then creating subsequent add-ons from scratch, the tinylab Prototyping System enables the creation of smart products to be more efficient. About the size of a tablet, the tinylab Prototyping System is packed with [different sensors, connectivity types](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commi-board) and much more to make smart devices more streamlined to create and implement. Currently funding on [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edge-pro-1), the tinylab prototyping kit is dramatically more cost-effective than other similar products or solutions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Prototyping Revolution:** The tinylab Prototyping System offers more efficient creation of smart products, disrupting traditional making processes. - **Smart Devices Simplified:** The tinylab Prototyping System streamlines the creation and implementation of smart devices, disrupting traditional methods. - **Cost-effective Iot Making:** The tinylab Prototyping System is a more affordable solution for creating smart products, disrupting the higher priced competition. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** The tinylab Prototyping System has the potential to disrupt the way smart consumer electronics are made and revolutionize the industry. - **Manufacturing:** The tinylab Prototyping System offers greater efficiency in product development and has the potential to disrupt the traditional methods used in the manufacturing industry. - **Iot:** The tinylab Prototyping System simplifies the creation and implementation of IoT devices, disrupting traditional methods of the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Introductory IoT Tech Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arduino-iot-bundle.md) - [Diminutive DIY Desktop Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-desktop-robot.md) - [Hackable Miniature Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-computer.md) - [Modular Robotics Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-robotics-kit.md) - [Engaging Computer Science Terminals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elecrow-crowpi-3.md) - [Accessible Metal Fabrication Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metal-fabrication-technology.md) - [Palm-Sized 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-source-3d-printer.md) - [3D-Printable Toy Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makerworld-cyberbrick.md) - [Miniscule Modular Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pockit.md)
