Prototyping
As an integral part of the design process which allows both us as the manufacturer and our customer to explore and test the product or part and its design.
Whilst prototypes are available for almost all products and parts it is in moulding manufacture where expensive production tooling is concerned that prototyping can play such an important role in ensuring the moulded final product is as required prior to further investment of time and money.
Whilst our SolidWorks software can in the design stage analyse potential moulding problems, prototyping is particularly useful when a “part fit” is required.
With our wide array or 3, 4&5 axis CNC routers and milling machine we can cost effectively produce quality prototype tooling in model board, MDF or resin.
If you have a product or part design in mind and you would like to know what we can do with prototyping please contact by email production@arnold-aep.co.uk or telephone 01604 499 651.
Our technical support can also advise on material choice and we have a dedicated in house vacuum forming specialist with over 40 years moulding experience on hand to advise.
