Rapid Prototyping Services
Functional prototypes and sample parts in days — matched to the process your production will actually use, with a clear route from prototype to series.
Prototypes that prove the design, not just the shape
A prototype is only useful if it tests the right thing. We pick the route together with you: CNC machining for parts that must behave like production metal, vacuum casting for cosmetic or over-molded samples, and 3D printing for fit-checks and early ergonomics. Each route has a different cost/lead-time curve — and our engineers will tell you where it flips.
Prototype orders also serve as a rehearsal for production: fixture concepts, tolerance stack-ups and inspection plans developed on the prototype carry straight into your series order.
- CNC-machined prototypes in final production materials
- Vacuum casting (25–50 pcs) with production-like finishes
- 3D printing for fit, form and appearance models
- DFM report with every prototype quote
- Same quality system as production — ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485
Lead times
Typical prototype schedules
| Route | Best for | Typical lead time |
|---|---|---|
| 3-axis CNC | Plates, brackets, simple 3D shapes | 3–5 working days |
| 5-axis CNC | Complex geometry in production material | 7–15 working days |
| CNC turning | Shafts, fittings, round parts | 3–7 working days |
| Vacuum casting | 25–50 cosmetic or over-mold samples | 7–12 working days |
| 3D printing | Fit/form checks, jigs, lattice structures | 3–7 working days |
| Sheet metal | Enclosures, brackets, chassis | 3–7 working days |
Schedules start from drawing release, not from inquiry — and we quote each route side by side so you can choose.
From prototype to production
One team from sample to series
Because prototypes run on the same floor, with the same engineers and the same inspection, the handover to production is a scheduling decision — not a re-qualification project.
