 ProtoCAM
provides prototype development and prototype engineering assistance
for all stages of the prototyping / product development cycle:
- Concept
- CAD drawing
- Prototype
- Product
Concept
Many product designers and engineers
approach ProtoCAM with what we might call the "napkin
sketch".
So if your company does not have extensive product development
capabilities,
ProtoCAM can provide the prototyping services to help
you begin this process. With our extensive product and prototype
engineering experience, we can consult with you on part
design, with an eye towards manufacturability and material
selection
for prototype and production. Our engineers are particularly
familiar with plastics engineering, including mold design
and material selection.
CAD drawing
We can use your 3D drawing, we can create a 3D CAD model
from a 2D CAD drawing, or we can do the entire 3D CAD
drawing from
your concept sketch.
In creating and/or reviewing these
CAD models, our engineers will provide guidance and suggestions on manufacturability,
saving your time and money in tooling and production
costs. Some of the things we consider are:
 Assembly functionality- Tolerances
- Draft angles
- Undercuts
Prototype
Prototypes are used for many different purposes:
- Demonstration - for
show and tell or sales purposes only
- Form, fit and function testing - to
see if the part works where it would be used
- Actual use - put
into use
ProtoCAM will provide expert
guidance on selecting the best rapid prototyping (RP) technology
to meet
your
requirements. Our many years of prototype engineering
and development
experience, combined with our knowledge of new technologies
and techniques
in the prototyping industry, help us to assist you
in selecting the most appropriate technologies and
processes
to create
your engineering prototype.
Product
Advances in the materials and technologies sometimes
allow the part we make with RP tools to be used
in or as the
final product. We also do injection molding to create
such final
products. And in some cases, urethane casting, investment
casting, reaction injection molding (RIM) can be
used to make finished parts or products.
