From prototype to short-run production: bridging the gap

Reverse-engineered part shown before and after

A working prototype is a milestone, not the finish line. Getting to a small production run takes a few deliberate steps.

Lock the design

We fold every lesson from the prototype back into the CAD — fit, strength, assembly — so the production version is corrected, not just scaled up.

Choose the process

Short runs might stay on our printers, move to vacuum casting for smoother parts, or go to CNC for metal. We match the process to volume and finish.

Manage the supply

For runs beyond our in-house capacity we coordinate vetted suppliers on your behalf — CNC machining and casting — so you get parts, not a procurement project.
