Prototyping

The full range of prototyping solutions from hand-crafted models to state of the art Vacuum castings are available from Techstyle Europe.

Why should you bother with a prototype?

In many cases it's not necessary but the kind of benefits you should expect from this service include the ability to fully test your designs prior to any tooling commitment, reduced development time, market research feedback and the avoidance of expensive tool changes post tool manufacture.

How long does this process take?

Each process is slightly different but for the best part models can be produced within a week and in some cases a next day service is available.

Will a prototype perform as well as a mainstream production part?

Again this will depend on the process used, some of the processes above are purely used to produce a sample of the parts for aesthetic reasons whilst other processes can produce parts that will have the same characteristics as volume production parts produced in the design intent material.

How do I choose which process I need?

Don't worry, as you can see there are many different processes available but only one or two will be appropriate for your requirement, we are happy to talk through your individual requirement and find the best way forward for you.
