From Prototyping To Mass Production

Prototyping and Tooling Services

Go from product concept to physical models quickly and cost-effectively with rapid prototyping and tooling services from Procision Manufacturing. 

Procision Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping For Any Industry

Launching a new product is challenging, and design files don’t always reveal all the flaws or opportunities for improvement. Skipping straight to mass production increases your financial risks, and can waste precious time and money.

That’s why companies use rapid prototyping to help them get products to market while controlling their financial exposure.

Procision offers CNC machining, vacuum casting, and rapid tooling services to support your needs for custom parts fast – so you can iterate, validate, and launch on time.

Procision Rapid Tooling

Rapid Tooling For Any Industry

Rapid tooling helps you go from the prototyping stage to production quickly and with little financial risk. It involves using easy-to-machine soft metals such as aluminum or P20 steel, combined with simplified designs and common resins.
 
Rapid tools are less costly to produce, while helping custom parts developers to bring products to market fast.
 
We have all the processes in-house to take your design ideas and turn them into finished injection molding tools in as little as two weeks.

How it works

Varieties of Prototypes

Prototypes serve many different purposes and these will then directly determine the best tools used to make them.

Visual Prototypes

To visualize a product’s shape, size, and overall appearance. Usually made from simple materials, like clay, foam, paper, or 3D printing filament.

Proof-of-concept Prototypes

To test whether an idea is feasible in early-stage design development. They use basic materials and quick manufacturing methods.

Test The Market

Test the market with your product before production

Functional Prototypes

Replicating final part properties for performance testing and material validation, using advanced materials and precision techniques like CNC milling.

Pre-production prototypes

Used for final validation with production-grade materials and methods to detect issues before mass manufacturing and to aid with regulatory approvals.

Common Questions

Procision Prototyping and Tooling Service FAQ

How are prototypes made?

There is no single answer to this question, as the process can vary from project to project. The best fabrication method depends on the prototype’s purpose, material requirements, budget constraints, and other factors.

At Procision, we make prototypes using CNC machining and vacuum casting, while rapid tooling is ideal for limited production volumes of simple geometries using standard resins.

It’s impossible to anticipate the price of a prototype. Chosen process, material type, part complexity, prototype function, and production volume are all driving costs that must be considered.

When making functional prototypes, it is important to select the right manufacturing methods, materials, and surface finish treatments, and to perform quality inspection to guarantee that the prototype is accurate. Procision has fully equipped CNC machining, injection molding, finishing, and quality control departments to handle all such tasks.
