Prototyping For Any Stage in the Product Development Cycle
Precision Prototypes for Functional Testing, Validation & Production Readiness
At Rapid Proto Tooling, we provide engineering-grade prototyping services built for accuracy, repeatability, and real-world performance. From high-tolerance mechanical components to test-ready assemblies, our prototypes help engineering teams accelerate product development and reduce risk at every stage.
We support everything from high accuracy 3D printed test parts, to one-off final trial parts and pilot runs — with full confidentiality, technical rigor, and fast turnaround.
Prototyping We Offer:
- 3D Printing – FDM for form, fit, and low-load functional and assembly testing
- CNC and Laythe Machining – ±0.01 mm tolerances on metals and engineering plastics
- Laser Cutting & Engraving – High-speed processing of flat parts and panels or engraving into contoured parts
- Low-Volume Runs – Soft Tooling for injection moulding to produce short production builds in final-use materials
- Assembly & Mechanical Fit-Up – For components requiring interface validation
Built for Engineers:
- Design-for-Manufacture (DFM) Feedback – Optimize for real-world constraints
- Repeatable Precision – Batch control, traceability, and documentation
- Rapid Iteration – Efficient turnaround for design sprints and revisions
- NDA Support – We work under non-disclosure agreements to protect your IP
- Complex Assemblies – Multi-part builds with critical tolerances and moving components
Supported Materials & Formats:
- Metals: Aluminum, steel, titanium, brass
- Plastics: PEEK, Delrin, polycarbonate, ABS, acrylic
- CAD Files: STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, from all CAD software
- Drawings: Full 2D engineering drawings with GD&T supported
Confidentiality You Can Count On
We regularly work with IP-sensitive projects in many industries and understand the need for confidentiality. NDAs are welcome and encouraged — your designs remain secure, and your data is handled with strict internal protocols, keeping your IP onshore with people you can trust.
