Rapid Custom Manufacturing

Rapid Low Volume Aluminum Prototypes

Project Overview:

Low Volume Prototyping Process: CNC Machining
Prototype Material: Aluminum 6061-T6
Surface Finishing: Sanding, Beadblasting, Anodizing, Silk-screening
Quantity: 50 Units
Lead Time: 20 Days

Customer was an industrial design company in Spain and specialized in developing products in telecommunication. These prototypes were also end products to test market and were updated timely according to market feedback, so it was low volume manufactured quickly & economically.

CNC milled and sanded prototype prior to anodizing. Fitting test was done before further surface finishing in case of design or manufacturing issues.
Anodized and Silk-screened components for final assembly. Surface finishing required much more attention than fitting and assembly.

Finished prototypes & products. Each product was quality checked in finishing and appearance, the substandard ones were repaired or replaced.
The surface finishing capabilities and strong attention to details allowed us to manufacture prototypes both perform and look as intended as possible.
