What is Prototyping?

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 instance, many businesses turn to Roberson Machine Company to produce a physical part swiftly in order to validate a design or capture a sales opportunity.

Prototyping is an advantageous process that is used for:

• Showcasing the physical model of a product to investors and customers in a relatively short amount of time
• Exhibiting the appearance, features, and dimensions 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 quality, size, dimension, and shape
• Testing the product on the market before bringing it to full production
• Identifying and correcting potentially costly design defects before reaching market
• Streamlining and improving upon the whole production process

In general, rapid prototyping in Hawaii saves money, time, and hassle 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 company realize a variety of cost savings.

Who Uses Prototype Machining?

Many Hawaii industries have recognized the benefits of prototype machining and use it to limit potential disruptions in the development process. Roberson Machine Company has successfully contracted with a large number of companies, of all sizes, to realize their prototype manufacturing goals. We have assisted the following Hawaii industries and more develop prototypes quickly and efficiently:

• With the popularity of the “just-in-time” manufacturing process, the automotive industry needs new parts to be developed as fast as possible and in any quantity. Roberson Tool contracts with Hawaii automotive suppliers as small as local custom shops and as large as OEM manufacturers to build prototype parts in several different materials, delivered on time and within budget.
• Oil and energy firms have unique demands for prototypes: they must be made to withstand the heavy pressure of underground pipeline burial, mining, and refining. Roberson meets these demands by specializing in machining prototypes using exotic materials such as plastics, brass, and alloy steel.
• The Hawaii medical industry mandates that parts are developed to some of the most exacting tolerances in the machining industry: after all, making sure that defective parts do not make it to end users is truly the difference between life and death. As well, medical parts are often very small and complicated in design. Roberson Machine Company has in our shop the latest 5-axis CNC machining tools that can not only rapidly produce medical part prototypes regardless of size, but also provide process and tracking reports mandated by the FDA.
• Aerospace manufacturers demand 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 exacting tolerance and design standards. Our highly-trained technicians are ready to tackle the challenges of aerospace prototype manufacturing, and our ISO 9001:2015-certified Hawaii machine shop is focused on delivering aerospace manufacturers parts built to the highest standard of quality.

This experience in prototype manufacturing for multiple Hawaii industries allows Roberson Machine Company to be a true partner throughout the manufacturing process. Our experienced team of engineers and machinists can help you identify flaws in your product, suggest design and technical improvements, and otherwise build on the quality of your Hawaii end product while lowering your R&D costs.

Reasons to Use CNC Machining for Rapid Prototyping in Hawaii

There are many different methods that can be used to create your prototypes, but CNC machining is by far 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, shaving away bits from a piece of raw material in order to create the desired end-shape.

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

• More precise – Computer-controlled machines use modern cutters that are very accurate and precise in order to create parts with very tight tolerances.
• Faster – Modern CNC machine can typically create one part in a matter of minutes, which is invaluable towards getting the end-results to market faster.
• Different materials to choose from – CNC machine tools are able to work with virtually any material that is machinable, which includes many types of plastic substrates and metals. Product developers can then test different materials to see which is best for their application.
• No fixed tooling necessary – CNC machined parts do not require the use of separate tools and dies, 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.
