Engineering & development
Prototyping
From idea to physical part, fast. Where an existing part is the starting point, we capture it with 3D scanning and build the CAD model; 3D printing and precision machining then turn the design into prototypes for real-world testing.
- Methods
- 3D printing, 3D scanning, CNC machining, composite layup
- Quantities
- Single parts and small batches
01Overview
Overview
Prototypes let you validate form, fit and function before investing in production tooling. We help you choose the right approach for each stage — printed models, machined parts or carbon fiber prototypes.
Lessons from the prototype flow straight back into the design, so the production part is right from the start.
02Process
Prototyping
Step 01
Concept
Design intent and test goals are agreed.
Step 02
Build
Printed, machined or laminated prototypes are produced.
Step 03
Test
Form, fit and function are evaluated with you.
Step 04
Refine
Findings are incorporated before tooling.
