FAQ

Prototype iteration cycle?

5-10 days per iteration. Multiple iterations through development. CAD changes incorporated fast.

Materials matching production?

Use injection-grade plastic stock (machined) for prototype that matches production injection mold material.

Cosmetic standards?

Customer-facing parts: cosmetic Ra 0.4 µm. Painted to brand colors. Pantone matched.

Volume scaling?

Prototype 1-50 pcs. Bridge production 100-5K (aluminum tooling). Production 5K+ (steel mold).

IP protection?

NDA standard. Prototype work confidential. No public disclosure of customer designs.

Testing prototypes?

Drop test, environmental, life cycle per consumer product testing protocols.
