Prototyping

We don't just cut your prototype, we tell you how to make it cheaper and better before you commit to production. That's the smarter way in.

// What it is

Prototyping

Prototyping at Numachine isn't a print service, it's an engineering conversation. Bring us a concept and our team applies Design for Machining before a single chip flies, finding the features that'll fight you in production and fixing them while it's cheap to change.

Smart iteration, real materials, production-representative parts. When the prototype is right, the path to volume is already mapped, because we designed for it from the first part.

// Materials
Most production metals
3D-printed patterns & fixtures
Engineering plastics
Rapid-cast aluminium
// Machinery
5-axis machining
In-house 3D printing
Adaptive fixturing
Optimised programming
// Tolerances

The numbers we hold.
