Machined prototype alongside a production die cast part

Prototyping to production

One partner across the whole product life

Prototype it machined, bridge it while the design settles, cast it when volume justifies the tool — same team throughout.

What that looks like

Prototype
Machined, days not weeks
Bridge
Machined batches pre-tooling
Tooling
Die cut in-house
Volume
Cast, machined, finished

The route

Four stages, no supplier change

01

Prove the design

Machined parts in the real alloy so testing means something.

02

Bridge the gap

Small batches keep your launch moving while tooling is cut.

03

Cut the tool

Die designed, machined, hardened and sampled in-house.

04

Run production

Scheduled batches with inspection records and buffer stock.

Why it saves time

The usual cost of scaling is re-qualification: a new supplier, new fixtures, new inspection baselines, new arguments about whose dimension is right. Keeping the whole route in one workshop removes that entirely — the engineer who machined your prototype is the one specifying the die.
