Industrial Prototyping, Industrial Rapid Prototypes

ProtoCAM features industrial prototyping services and industrial stereolithography, providing industrial components prototypes, industrial parts prototypes, and physical prototypes for industrial applications such as tractors, valves, pump, and hydraulic equipment. ProtoCAM has produced industrial prototypes for many major industrial products manufacturers and their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. ProtoCAM has extensive experience in rapid prototyping for industrial applications.

Rapid prototyping (RP) technologies for industrial applications is a proven technology used by industrial engineers and designers to produce physical, tangible prototypes to work with in design and testing.

Examples of Industrial Rapid Prototypes

ProtoCAM's customers have used our rapid prototyping services to create a wide variety of small and large parts used in industrial products and applications. Our customers include manufacturers and designers of tractors, valves, pumps, lifts, trucks, and many more. Some examples of our prototypes used in industrial products are:

• Pedals
• Knobs
• Bellows
• Platform lift part
• Pump parts and components
• Casings
• Sprinklers
• Part castings
• Engine parts
• Mechanical parts
• Handles

Key Benefits of Industrial Prototyping:

• Reduced design time and cost
• Reduced testing time and cost
• Fast prototype turn-around
• Better visualization of products with a physical, solid, tactile item in addition to drawings and computer models
• Testing can be based on form, fit and/or function
• Prevent assembly problems later in production where changes are more costly
• Quick iterative testing
• Wide variety of available prototype materials

Materials used in Industrial Prototypes:

Metals are used more often for industrial prototypes than in other applications. ProtoCAM's materials capabilities include:

• Aluminum
• Stainless steel
• Brass
• Bronze
• Carbon steel
• HT steel 4140
• Magnesium
• Titanium
• Zamac – Zinc/Aluminum
• Silicone rubber
• Urethane
• Epoxy
• Resin

Industrial Prototyping Services

The design process for new or improved parts, components, or assemblies for industrial applications includes the important step of producing, examining, and testing a physical prototype. Using rapid prototypes in your design process allows you to confirm that the size, shape, fit and function are correct, and any needed changes can be done before production begins.

Along with providing the prototype, ProtoCAM can bring their manufacturing and engineering experience to your project. ProtoCAM often provides valuable suggestions on improved designs and parts that are more easily and less costly to manufacture.

Keep in mind that prototyping for industrial applications is not limited to small parts. Multiple prototype components can be joined to create very large items.
