What is a Prototype?

A prototype is a first-attempt physical model of a product that’s made through a special manufacturing process like CNC machining. It is often used for testing or as the first step within the mass-production process. For instance, many clients turn to Roberson Machine Company to create a physical part swiftly in order to validate a design or capture a sales opportunity.

Prototyping is an advantageous process that is used for:

• Showing customers and investors a physical model of your product in as little amount of time as possible
• Exhibiting the appearance, dimensions, and features of your product
• Generating multiple separate versions of the product with different colors, surface textures, and finishing processes
• Ensuring that all parts are standardized in terms of quality, size, dimension, and shape
• Testing the product on the market before bringing it to full production
• Finding and correcting potentially expensive design defects before reaching market
• Streamlining and improving upon the entire production process

Overall, rapid prototyping in El Paso saves time and money by creating a single run of a 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 may help your business realize a variety of cost savings.

What El Paso, TX Industries Benefit From Prototype Machining?

A large number of El Paso, TX industries have recognized the advantages of prototype machining and use it to limit the chance of disruptions in the development process. Roberson Machine Company has successfully contracted with a notable number of companies, both large and small, to achieve their prototype manufacturing goals. We have worked with the following El Paso, TX industries and more develop prototypes quickly and efficiently:

• With the of the “just-in-time” manufacturing process, the automotive industry needs new parts to be produced as fast as possible and in any quantity. Roberson Tool works with El Paso, TX automotive suppliers as small as local custom shops and as large as OEM manufacturers to produce prototype parts in a variety of materials, delivered affordably and on time.
• El Paso, TX oil and energy firms have special demands for prototypes: they must be made to withstand the rigors of mining, refining, and potentially being buried underground. Roberson answers these demands by excelling in machining prototypes using exotic materials such as alloy steel, plastics, and brass.
• The El Paso, TX medical industry requires parts to be developed to some of the most demanding tolerances in the machining industry: after all, preventing defective parts from making it to end users is quite literally a matter of life and death. In addition, medical parts are often quite small and intricate in design. Roberson Machine Company is equipped with the latest 5-axis CNC machining tools that can not only rapidly fabricate medical part prototypes of any size, but also provide process and tracking reports needed by the FDA.
• Aerospace manufacturers require parts with intricate geometries and dimensions, and in a majority of cases using rare metals that can withstand high temperatures and altitude. In addition, the unique pressures and characteristics of flight require parts made to strict tolerance and design standards. Our highly-trained technicians are eager to take on the challenges of aerospace prototype manufacturing, and our TX machine shop is driven to deliver aerospace manufacturers parts built to the highest standard of quality.

This experience in prototype manufacturing for multiple TX industries makes Roberson Machine Company a true partner throughout the manufacturing process. Our highly-trained team of machinists can help you identify flaws in your product, propose design and technical improvements, and otherwise improve the quality of your El Paso, TX end product while reducing your R&D costs.

Reasons to Use CNC Machining for Rapid Prototyping in El Paso, TX

Prototyping can use a variety of methods to complete projects, but CNC machining is far and away one of the most effective. Short for computer numerical control, CNC allows you to digitally design your product, program the design data into the computer, and let the CNC machine take it from there, cutting away portions from a piece of raw material to create the desired end-shape.

Using computers eliminates human error and improves the efficiency of the cuts which, in turn, means that you can produce flawless, quick parts both the first time and every time afterwards. There are so many other reasons to choose CNC for your prototype, including:

• More accurate – Computer-controlled machines use modern cutters that are extremely accurate and precise in order to create parts with tolerances sometimes as tight as +.05 mm.
• Quicker – Modern CNC machine can typically create one part in a matter of minutes, which is invaluable towards getting the end-results to market faster.
• Many different materials to work with – CNC machine tools are able to work with virtually any material that is machinable, which includes many types of metal and plastic substrates. This is a great advantage to product developers who want to test from one different material to the next.
• No fixed tooling necessary – CNC machined parts do not need to use separate dies and tools, which helps diminish the lead time and initial investment costs for new product development.
• Easy to modify – New product development often requires a series of improvements and modifications to the original design. Altering digital instructions is simple and only takes a few minutes with CNC machining.
