Rapid Prototyping with Zhonghui
Rapid CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication services. Lead time as fast as 3 days.
What is Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping quickly converts early-stage design concepts into physical models, offering a fast and cost-effective way to see ideas in reality. This approach is particularly effective through technologies such as CNC machining, with the ability to deliver prototypes typically within 5-7 business days.
Opting for prototyping is essential for speeding up the design process while reducing the financial and operational risks associated with new product development. It enables thorough testing and refinement of designs, ensuring that each iteration is an improvement on the previous one. This process is critical for making informed decisions early in the development cycle, minimizing the risk of expensive alterations later on.
a, Rapid CNC Prototyping Service
CNC machining, including both CNC milling and CNC turning, is an excellent choice for rapid prototyping when parts need to be assessed in their final material form. This method allows for prototypes to be made from fully dense stock, providing accurate and durable models. Zhonghui specializes in machining a broad spectrum of metals and plastics, ensuring versatility for your project requirements. Our rapid CNC prototyping services deliver high-quality machined prototype quickly, often in 7 days. This speed, coupled with our cost-effective pricing, allows engineers to order multiple prototypes at once, facilitating quick and thorough product evaluations. Choosing Zhonghui for your CNC prototyping needs means benefiting from our expertise and commitment to precision. We provide various expedite options, ensuring that urgent projects are completed on time. Our market-based pricing model ensures affordability without compromising quality. With Zhonghui, you receive detailed and accurate prototypes that support rapid product development, from initial design to final production. Maximum Part Size:
CNC Milling: 4000×1500×600 mm
CNC Turning: 200×500 mm
Standard Lead time: 7 days
Tolerance: 0.001 inches
b, Rapid Prototype Injection Molding Service
Injection molding is a top choice for prototyping when you need highly durable and consistent parts for extensive testing. This method is perfect for high-fidelity product evaluations and for creating temporary bridge tooling during product launches. Rapid injection molding typically has a lead time of 2-3 weeks for initial parts, but with Zhonghui’s expedited services, you can receive parts in as little as ten days.
Opting for injection molding over 3D printing or CNC machining is beneficial when your project demands strict material properties or specific mechanical requirements that other methods can’t achieve. Zhonghui excels in this area, offering high repeatability and near-final shapes with each prototype. Our expertise ensures that you receive reliable and precise prototypes, aiding in effective product development and testing.
Maximum Part Size: 1200×1000×500 mm
Standard Lead time: 4-5 weeks
Mold Cavity Tolerance: +/- 0.05 mm
c, Rapid Sheet Metal Prototyping Service
Sheet metal fabrication is perfect for producing flat parts that need to be tested in their final metal form quickly. This method enables prototypes to be made within a week or less, offering a fast and efficient solution. It is also cost-effective, allowing the creation of multiple prototype designs simultaneously. While Aluminum 5052 is a common choice, we also offer a variety of other alloys, including steels, copper, and stainless steel.
Choosing Zhonghui for your sheet metal prototyping ensures you benefit from our extensive experience and streamlined processes. We provide a wide range of materials and guarantee high-quality rapid metal prototyping services that meet your project requirements accurately and promptly. With Zhonghui, you can expect reliable, precise, and swift delivery of your sheet metal prototypes, keeping your design process on schedule and within budget.
