Rapid prototyping solutions are manufacturing services that turn a CAD file into physical parts in days — CNC machining, 3D printing, and vacuum casting — so hardware teams can test, iterate, and launch before committing to mass production.

Our Industry Solutions
Our rapid prototyping service is designed around the challenges of each sector — automotive, healthcare, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and education. The same factory floor, the same ISO 9001 quality system, applied to your industry’s requirements.
Industrial Equipment
Direct factory pricing saves about 20% by cutting out the middleman, with prototypes delivered in as fast as 3 days. Suited to control panels, housings, and functional test parts. Rapid prototyping for industrial equipment →
Consumer Electronics
From smartphone accessories to wearable devices, we build functional prototypes layer by layer from CAD data — 3D printing, CNC machining, vacuum casting, and injection molding for different stages of development. Rapid prototyping for consumer electronics →
Medical Devices
High-precision prototyping for medical devices — 3D printing for complex geometries and CNC machining for functional, sterilizable parts. Documented PEEK case study passed FDA review with zero manufacturing questions. Rapid prototyping for medical devices →
Prototyping service vs traditional mass-production supply
| Dimension | Rapid prototyping service (QDJ) | Mass-production supply chain |
|---|---|---|
| Order size | 1–100 pieces, MOQ 1 | Usually 500+ pieces |
| Tooling | No tooling fee for CNC prototypes | Mold/tooling investment required |
| Lead time | 3–10 business days | Weeks to months |
| Design iteration | Cheap and fast — parallel variants encouraged | Expensive per change (mold modification) |
| Documentation | Material certs + CMM inspection reports per batch | Depends on supplier |
| Best for | Testing, validation, launch, low-volume | Stable high-volume demand |
How to get a prototype in 5 steps
- Send your CAD file via the quote form.
- Get a free DFM review with technical questions within one business day.
- Approve the quote — design issues are resolved before payment.
- Receive first article inspection (CMM report) before production continues.
- Receive parts with material certs and inspection data — evidence you can verify.
FAQ about rapid prototyping services
What materials can you prototype in?
Aluminum (6061, 7075), stainless steel (303, 304, 316L), brass, copper, PEEK, ABS, and more. Send your CAD — if a material needs special handling, the DFM review will flag it before you pay.
How fast is a prototype really?
As fast as 3 days for simple parts; 5–10 business days is typical. You get a specific date at quote time, not “soon”.
Do I need to order a minimum quantity?
No. MOQ is 1. Documented case studies include a 6-piece medical prototype batch.
Is my design confidential?
Yes. We sign NDAs routinely; several published case studies are under NDA.
