Single-Vendor Prototyping & Production
Moving from prototype to production with a single vendor eliminates multi-supplier coordination, reduces lead times, and ensures consistent quality throughout your entire supply chain. Same equipment, same processes, same precision.
Our CNC machines and quality systems are identical for both prototyping and production runs. This means your prototype validates against production-equivalent quality and tolerances.
- CAD model review and feasibility analysis
- Tolerance assessment and optimization recommendations
- Design refinements for manufacturability
- Tool path optimization and machine selection
- Prototype machining and dimensional verification
Workflow: Upload design → 48h feedback → Quote with DFM notes → Prototype or production run
Work Samples
Representative examples of our CNC prototyping capabilities. These samples showcase the precision and quality we deliver from prototype through production.
Prototype-to-Production Process
Rapid Iteration & Validation
Fast turnaround on design validation. No tooling required, making rapid iteration ideal for design refinement and quick-turn feasibility. Test fit, function, and performance before committing to production volumes.
Our proven methodology ensures smooth transitions from design validation to full production, with consistent quality and optimized processes at every step.
