Our prototype tooling experience allows us to identify and implement the best solutions to your most challenging needs. Our in-house tooling facility focuses on a fast turnaround with deliveries from 1 to 6 weeks based on the complexity of your project. We can create functional prototype parts which allow you to enter your market schedules early and secure your manufacturing goal while remaining in budget.
Our prototype tools utilize hand loads made of aluminum materials; this option allows for molding of plastic parts that replicate actual performance of production parts. Test runs and demonstrations of your specific application allow for a product that is ready for design verification. Without investing in hard tooling, time and efforts can be spent on recognizing issues early in the manufacturing process in order to create a seamless transition into full production.
Every project is unique & we have numerous prototype options to choose from, to best suit the form and fit for the application of your component. One diversifying option is the resin that can be chosen for your part; we will provide guidance and knowledge to help you select the right resin material that will enhance your part design and function.
Prototype tooling, with the use of aluminum hand loads, is well-known in the industry as fast & economical way to replicate the result you need without the expense or lead time associated with full production tooling. Prototype tooling makes low-volume parts a viable option as your project develops. When cost-effective alternatives for testing your part are a necessity, even as a PPAP production-capable part, we highly recommend a prototype phase.
