What is Prototyping?

Prototyping uses specialized manufacturing techniques, such as CNC machines, to create high-quality physical models of a design idea. It is often used for engineer testing or as the first step within the mass-production process. For example, many companies turn to Turning machining China Inc. to build a physical part swiftly in order to validate a design or capture a sales opportunity.

Prototyping is a very beneficial technique that is used for:

Showcasing the physical model of a product to investors and customers in a relatively short amount of time
Exhibiting the appearance, dimensions, and features of your product
Creating multiple separate versions of the product with different colors, surface textures, and finishing processes
Ensuring that all parts are standardized in terms of size, shape, dimension, and quality
Testing the product on the market before bringing it to full production
Identifying and correcting potentially expensive design flaws before reaching market
Improving and streamlining the whole production process

In general, rapid prototyping in Tampa saves time and money by creating a single run of a product that can be tested and improved upon before investing in thousands of units. Contact us to learn more about how this process can help your business realize a variety of cost savings.

Who Uses Prototype Machining?

A large number of Tampa, FL industries are cognizant of the benefits of prototype machining and utilize it to limit potential disruptions in the development cycle. 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 Tampa, FL industries and others develop prototypes quickly and efficiently:

With the of “just-in-time” manufacturing processes, the automotive industry needs new parts to be produced as fast as possible and in any quantity. Turning machining China Inc. contracts with Tampa, FL automotive firms as small as local custom shops and as large as OEM manufacturers to produce prototype parts in several different materials, delivered affordably and on time.
Tampa, FL oil and energy firms have notable requirements for prototypes: they need to be built to withstand the heavy pressure of underground pipeline burial, mining, and refining. Turning machining responds to these demands by specializing in machining prototypes made of exotic materials such as alloy steel, plastics, and brass.
The Tampa, FL medical industry requires parts to be developed to some of the most demanding tolerances in the machining industry: after all, ensuring that defective parts do not make it to end users is quite literally a matter of life and death. As well, medical parts are often quite 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 no matter the dimensions, but also provide process and tracking reports needed by the FDA.
Aerospace manufacturers demand 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. In addition, the unique pressures and characteristics of flight require parts built to strict tolerance and design standards. Our experienced technicians are ready to take on the challenges of aerospace prototype manufacturing, and our FL machine shop is driven to deliver aerospace manufacturers parts built to the highest standard of quality.

This history of prototype manufacturing for multiple FL industries allows Turning machining China Inc. to be a true partner throughout the manufacturing process. Our highly-trained team of engineers and machinists can help you recognize flaws in your product, propose design and usability improvements, and otherwise build on the quality of your Tampa, FL finished product while lowering your R&D costs.

Why Use CNC Machining for Rapid Prototyping in Tampa, FL

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, program the design data into the computer, and let the CNC machine take it from there, trimming away portions from a piece of raw material in order to create a desired end-shape.

Using computers eliminates human error and improves the efficiency of the cuts which, in turn, means that you can produce flawless, quick parts the first time AND every time thereafter. 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 accurate and precise in order to create parts with very tight tolerances.
Faster – Modern CNC machine can typically create one part in a matter of minutes, which is ideal for getting the end-results to market faster.
Different materials to choose from – CNC machine tools are able to work with virtually any machinable material, which includes many types of metal and plastic substrates. This is a great advantage to product developers who want to test from one different material to the next.
Fixed tooling is not necessary – CNC machined parts do not need to use separate dies and tools, which helps reduce the lead time and initial investment costs for new product development.
Can easily change design – New products often go through many moderations and iterations to improve upon the original design. Altering digital instructions is simple and only takes a few minutes with CNC machining.
