What is a Prototype?

Prototyping uses specialized manufacturing techniques, such as CNC machines, to create high-quality physical models of a design idea. It can be used for many purposes and is usually the first step in the mass-production of a product. For example, many businesses turn to Turning machining China Inc. to build a physical part swiftly in order to capture a sales opportunity or validate a design.

Prototyping is an advantageous practice that can be used for:

Showing customers and investors a physical model of your product in as little amount of time as possible
Demonstrating the appearance, features, and dimensions of your product
Generating multiple separate versions of the product with differing colors, surface textures, and finishing processes
Ensuring that all parts are standardized in terms of dimension, shape, quality, and size
Testing the market with your product before production
Finding and correcting potentially costly design defects before it ever touches the market
Improving and streamlining the entire production process

In general, rapid prototyping in Seattle saves money, time, and hassle by creating a single run of a product that can be tested and improved upon before having to invest in thousands of units. Contact us to see how this process may help your business realize a variety of cost savings.

Who Utilizes Prototype Machining In Seattle, WA?

A large number of Seattle, WA industries have recognized the benefits of prototype machining and use it to reduce potential disruptions in the development process. Turning machining China Inc. has successfully contracted with a sizable number of companies, of all sizes, to realize their prototype manufacturing requirements. We have worked with the following Seattle, WA industries and others develop prototypes rapidly and within cost requirements:

With the popularity of the “just-in-time” manufacturing process, the automotive industry needs new parts to be produced as quickly as possible and in any size production run. Turning machining China Inc. contracts with Seattle, WA automotive manufacturers as small as local custom shops and as large as OEM manufacturers to produce prototype parts in several different materials, delivered quickly and within costs.
Seattle, WA oil and energy firms have notable requirements for prototypes: they must be built to withstand the heavy pressure of refining, mining, and underground burial. Turning machining responds to these demands by specializing in machining prototypes made of exotic materials such as brass, alloy steel, and even plastics.
The Seattle, WA medical industry requires parts to be developed to some of the most precise tolerances in the machining industry: after all, ensuring that defective parts do not make it to consumers is truly the difference between life and death. In addition, medical parts are often very small and intricate in design. Turning machining China Inc. is equipped with the latest 5-axis CNC machining tools that can not only quickly fabricate medical part prototypes of any size, but also provide process and tracking reports needed by the FDA.
Aerospace manufacturers require parts with highly technical geometries and dimensions, and in a large number of cases using exotic metals that do not deform at high temperatures and altitude. Moreover, the unique pressures and characteristics of flight require parts built to exacting tolerance and design standards. Our experienced technicians are eager to take on the unique demands of aerospace prototype manufacturing, and our WA machine shop is driven to deliver aerospace manufacturers parts built to the highest standard of quality.

This track record in prototype manufacturing for multiple WA industries allows Turning machining China Inc. to be a true partner throughout the manufacturing process. Our expert team of engineers and machinists can help you identify flaws in your product, suggest design and reliability improvements, and otherwise build on the quality of your Seattle, WA end product while reducing your R&D costs.

Why Use CNC Machining for Rapid Prototyping in Seattle, WA

Prototyping can use a variety of methods to complete projects, but CNC machining is by far the most effective. Short for computer numerical control, CNC allows you to design a product digitally, input that data into a computer, and let the CNC machine take care of the rest, trimming away bits from a piece of raw material in order to create the desired end-shape.

Using computers improves the efficiency of cuts and virtually eliminates human error which, in turn, means that you can produce flawless, quick parts both the first time and every time afterwards. There are so many other reasons to choose CNC for your prototype, such as:

More precise – Computer-controlled machines use modern cutters that are very precise and accurate in order to create parts with very tight tolerances.
Quicker – Modern CNC machine can typically create one part in a matter of minutes, which is ideal for getting products to market faster.
Many different materials to work with – CNC machine tools are able to work with practically any machinable material, which includes many types of plastic substrates and metals. Product developers can then test different materials to see which is best for their application.
Fixed tooling is not necessary – CNC machined parts do not need to use separate tools and dies, which helps diminish the initial investment costs and lead time for new product development.
Can easily change design – New product development often requires a series of improvements and modifications to the original design. With CNC machining, you can easily alter digital instructions as many times as necessary.
