Prototyping

Test and analyze small quantities of stampings before investing in full production. Identifying and correcting potential weaknesses prior to production saves on development costs and time to market.

Applications

  • Product validation
  • Medical device evaluation
  • Auto design features proposed for future model years

Process

  • Review part design, prints and material specifications
  • Build prototype tool
  • Use simulation software to evaluate how the part and material will function in the tool
  • Redesign tool to address weak spots and improve manufacturability
