What is a Prototype?

Prototyping uses specialized manufacturing techniques, such as CNC machines, to create high-quality physical models of a design idea. It can be used for many purposes and is usually the first step in the mass-production of a product. For instance, many companies turn to Roberson Machine Company to build a physical part quickly in order to capture a sales opportunity or validate a design.

Prototyping is a very beneficial practice that can be used for:

• Showing customers and investors a physical model of your product in as little amount of time as possible
• Exhibiting the appearance, features, and dimensions of your product
• Creating multiple separate versions of the product with differing colors, surface textures, and finishing processes
• Ensuring that all parts are standardized in terms of size, shape, dimension, and quality
• Testing the product on the market before bringing it to full production
• Finding and fixing potentially costly design defects before it ever touches the market
• Improving and streamlining the entire production process

Overall, rapid prototyping in Arlington saves money, time, and hassle by creating one product that can be tested and optimized to peak performance before having to invest in thousands of units. Contact us to learn more about how this process can help your company realize a variety of cost savings.

Why Use CNC Machining for Rapid Prototyping in Arlington, TX

Prototyping can use a variety of methods to complete projects, but CNC machining is far and away one of the most effective. Also known as computer numerical control, CNC allows you to design a product digitally, input that data into a computer, and let the CNC machine take care of the rest, shaving away portions from a piece of raw material in order to create a desired end-shape.

Using computers eliminates human error and improves the efficiency of the cuts which, in turn, means that you can make flawless, quick parts both the first time and every time afterwards. There are a variety of other reasons to choose CNC machining for prototyping, including:

• More accurate – Computer-controlled machines use modern cutters that are extremely precise and accurate in order to create parts with very tight tolerances.
• Quicker – Modern CNC machine can typically create one part in a matter of minutes, which is ideal for getting the end-results to market quickly.
• Many different materials to work with – CNC machine tools are able to work with virtually any machinable material, which includes many types of plastic substrates and metals. Product developers can then test different materials to see which is best for their application.
• Fixed tooling is not necessary – CNC machined parts do not require the use of separate tools and dies, which helps reduce the lead time and initial investment costs for new product development.
• Easy to modify – New products often go through many moderations and iterations to improve upon the original design. Altering digital instructions is simple and only takes a few minutes with CNC machining.
