PROTOTYPING

If you require only a few pieces, it is usually best to machine a few samples from a powdered metal slug. This is easily done but does not show the true capabilities of the process.

If more samples are required (ex. 50+ pieces) we can build prototype tooling. This method tests the true process and usually does not take much more time than machining from slugs. With this method, most of the engineering is already completed when the part then goes to pre-production and finally full production.

Prototype Tooling shows the true functionality, capabilities, dimensions & tolerances.
