Materials for Custom Prototype Manufacturing Parts
A wide variety of alternatives are included in common prototype materials, each of which is appropriate for particular industries and purposes. The following materials are commonly used for prototypes.
Plastic
ABS is durable and often employed in functional prototypes.
PLA, biodegradable and easy to 3D print, is ideal for concept models.
Polycarbonate’s strength makes it suitable for robust prototypes.
Acrylic, transparent and visually appealing, is used for visual prototypes and displays.
Metals
Aluminum, steel, and titanium are strength and durability. Metals are indispensable in prototype development due to their strength and durability. They are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and industrial prototypes.
Wall Thickness: 0. 75 mm
Lead Time: 3 days
Tolerances: ±0. 01mm
Max part size: 200 x 80 x 100 cm
Rubber and Silicone
They are elasticity, flexibility, and resistance to heat and chemicals.
These materials are ideal for prototypes involving seals, gaskets, or flexible components, common in automotive and medical industries.
Surface Finishes for Prototype Manufacturing
The parts are not truly finished until they have passed through a professional surface finishing process. Whether a single prototype or batch production, we have everything you need to get your product a perfect surface finish.
Anodizing
Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc.
Materials: Aluminum
Color: Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold.
Texture: Smooth, matte finish
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.
Materials: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: Black, any RAL code or Pantone number
Texture: Gloss or semi-gloss
Electroplating
Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common.
Materials: Aluminum, steel, Stainless Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Smooth, Glossy finish
Polishing
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.
Materials: Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Glossy
Brushing
Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes.
Materials: ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel
Color: N/A
Texture: Satin

I’ve been working with Kevin and the team for 3 years now for prototyping and early-stage development, and it couldn’t have been better. On-time, professional, fast turnaround, continuous availability and updates, and most importantly, extensive review before any part is put into production. I am always impressed by the tight tolerances achieved even on the largest parts.

Prototype Manufacturing FAQs
The prototyping process is intended to provide physical sample versions of a new product, allowing for testing and improvement to ensure that the final design and construction are optimal in terms of materials, cost, and performance. Early prototypes will often be very simple, demonstrating initial dimensions or design.
A prototype is a preliminary model used for testing, while production refers to the final product made in large quantities after successful prototyping.
The prototyping process is intended to provide physical sample versions of a new product, allowing for testing and improvement to ensure that the final design and construction are optimal in terms of materials, cost, and performance. Early prototypes will often be very simple, demonstrating initial dimensions or design.
Regardless of the needed fidelity, most prototypes will go through five distinct stages: defining, focusing on features, production, testing, and presenting.
