Traditional long-life production tooling is expensive – often hundreds of thousands of dollars plus the design costs. For mass-produced parts and components, that does not create much of a problem, as the price can be amortized over tens or hundreds of thousands of parts. However, for a customer with low-volume (hundreds or thousands of parts) […]
A prototype is a fabricated sample that comes from an idea that your design team provides. A broad range of industries rely on prototypes. Similar to what children do with modeling clay, prototype companies create samples according to client specifications. A reputable source will do this by using high-end materials and top-of-the-line machinery. The result […]
There’s an old saying that goes, “Food is only as good as the person preparing it.” That same philosophy applies to many things, including CNC precision machining. If the machine isn’t state-of-the-art and the programmer and operator are not skilled, there’s a good chance the finished product won’t be, either.
Quality CNC Precision Machining Leads to […]
Reverse engineering involves creation of design information from existing physical samples. Keep reading to learn more about how rapid prototyping 3D printing can help with this process.
Plastic injection molding is a highly versatile process, and it has been around for many years. Today, a range of industries use it for manufacturing, but some companies are finding prototype injection molding useful for parts required in only small quantities. Keep reading to learn more about the prototype application of injection mold tooling.

Reverse engineering involves creation of design information from existing physical samples. This is often required if you need to duplicate an item and drawings are not available or the item in no longer being manufactured. Keep reading to learn more about how rapid prototyping 3D printing can help with this process.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are critical components of electronic circuits and play a big role in their performance. Over the years, the process of creating PCBs has become more automated and streamlined. However, that does not mean that each PCB is not unique. To ensure the proper functioning of the PCB, you need to partner […]
It can take some effort and time for you to establish a good relationship with your injection molder. The last thing you want to confront is the need to move your tool to another molder because the performance of your mold shop has not met expectations. That is why there are important details to consider […]
