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 can be used for many purposes and is usually the first step in the mass-production of a product. For example, many companies turn to Roberson Machine Company to produce a physical part quickly in order to validate a design or capture a sales opportunity.

Prototyping is a very beneficial practice that is used for:

• Showing customers and investors a physical model of your product in as little amount of time as possible
• Demonstrating the appearance, dimensions, and features of your product
• Creating multiple separate versions of the product with differing textures, colors, and finishes
• Ensuring that all parts are standardized in terms of dimension, shape, quality, and size
• Testing the product on the market before bringing it to full production
• Identifying and repairing potentially costly design flaws before it ever touches the market
• Streamlining and improving upon the whole production process

Overall, rapid prototyping in Milwaukee saves time and money by creating a single run of a product that can be tested and improved upon before investing in thousands of units. Contact us to learn more about how this process may help your company realize a variety of cost savings.

Who Utilizes Prototype Machining In Milwaukee, WI?

Why Use CNC Machining for Rapid Prototyping in Milwaukee, WI

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, program the design data into the computer, and let the CNC machine take it from there, shaving away bits from a piece of raw material to create a desired end-shape.

Using computers improves the efficiency of cuts and virtually eliminates human error which, in turn, means that you can make 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 precise and accurate 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 ideal for getting products to market faster.
• Many different materials to work with – CNC machine tools can work on virtually any machinable material, which includes many varieties of plastic substrates and metals. 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 require the use of separate dies and tools, which helps reduce the initial investment costs and lead time 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.
