Prototyping

Our “get it right the first time” philosophy ensures that our scale-up from prototype to production is a seamless transition. During this stage, we aim to identify any part performance or production process issues prior to the full-scale manufacturing phase.

We partner with the most suitable suppliers in each application to ensure complete success.

Our Prototyping Capabilities Include:

• Precision engineering detail, including complex shapes, profiles and aggressive tolerances
• Quick turnaround on sample parts
• Streamlined, production-ready processes
• Dedicated prototype presses: 15 & 30 ton

Prototype Tooling

Our prototype tools are built to the same high standards as our production tools. This approach allows us to simulate a true production environment for the creation of more accurate, production-ready parts, resulting in lowered overall development costs.

We Process the Following Materials in Our Prototyping Lab:

• Fluorosilicone (FVMQ)
• Fluorocarbon (FKM)
• Silicone (VMQ, PVMQ)
• Liquid Silicone (LSR)
• Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber (HNBR)
• Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
• Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber (X-NBR)
• EPDM
• Polychloroprene Rubber (CR)
• Natural Rubber
