Rapid Prototyping Services

Rapid Prototyping

F-Tech Precision Engineering can offer a one-stop engineering solution, which extends from CAD design and consultancy through to prototyping services.

Our in-house expertise and advanced multi-axis machinery are one of the many reasons clients trust F-Tech with their rapid prototyping requirements.

Rapid Prototyping Services

Why Use Rapid prototyping?

For customers requiring prototype parts and components for concept and functional testing, we offer a rapid prototyping service on fast turnaround times. We use a range of techniques to manufacture prototypes for evaluation and pre-production testing.

Customers can then review concept design integrity and manufacturing efficiency before deciding on the next step.

Our prototyping services include multi-axis CNC machining, laser cutting, sheet metal fabrication and welding. We manufacture one off complex machined prototype parts, sheet metal enclosures, full assemblies and pre-production runs.

CAD Design

Our skilled team of CAD designers use the latest design software to prove your concept and ready it for manufacture. Your 3D models can be shared using our CAD/CAM software to fast-track the design process. We can also model your concept from 2D drawings, work from a rough sketch, or reverse engineer a solution from an existing component.

Whichever process is used, we work closely with our clients to convert their design into a CAD file, review its validity and manufacture the part in a material of their choice to produce the prototype.

CNC Precision Engineering & Sheet Metal

When rapid prototyping for a client we work with a range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium and plastic.

3D models are easily converted to CAD files and transferred to our state-of-the-art machines in preparation for manufacture.

Using FeatureCam, our multi-axis CNC milling machines and CNC lathes can be used to produce the parts directly from the CAD file with speed and precision. With advanced work holding techniques and 3D surface milling, we can produce complex components in one hit, vastly reducing lead-times.

For sheet metal prototypes, Radan is used to import files, enabling rapid fabrication via our laser cutting and sheet metal fabrication services.

Turnkey Solutions

F-Tech Precision Engineering provides multiple engineering services all under one roof as a full turnkey solution.

We can optimise your concept to deliver a sound pre-production prototype and seamlessly transition to full production runs if required.
