CNC Prototyping
A Prototype is the first draft and is essential to get correct before moving into full production. A Prototype can be a make or break first impression, so it is important to get it right.
With a lot of developments and advancements in the prototyping world, including the wider spread use of 3D printing, we still believe that CNC is a superior method of achieving the best quality. There are still a lot of limitations that come with 3D Printing, which is why we feel a CNC-produced component will be sure to represent you at its best.
Benefits & How it Works
Prototyping in some industries requires a robust and fully working prototype to go into production. For this reason, CNC is the most beneficial and accurate method to use to achieve this result. We are able to produce prototypes directly from supplied drawings or by reverse engineering an existing component. If you don’t have any drawings or an existing component we can work from, that doesn’t mean we can’t still help. Get in touch with a skilled team member to discuss your requirements.
What is CNC Prototyping?
As mentioned above, certain types of Prototyping require fully operational solid pieces before they can go into production. This is most relevant in the Engineering & Production industries where 3D printing wouldn’t be suitable.
CNC is the preferred option when mechanical precision, strength & stability is non-optional. Get in touch with us today with your needs, and our knowledgeable team can discuss your project with you and determine if producing a CNC Prototype is the best method to use.
Whats Next With CNC Prototyping
Before Prototypes are made, a 3D computer-generated design is produced. This can be sent directly to our machines and turned into a reality. Once the initial prototype is made, and you are happy with the outcome, you can be sure that any subsequent components will exactly match that original componant giving you high quality and consistency.
The benefit of using 3D Designs as an initial step to your project is that if you are not quite happy with the initial prototype that is produced, our team can make changes quickly and easily within the CAD software before producing another Prototype for further evaluation. This drastically cuts down on production times before going to the final run.
