Define the test
State whether the prototype is for appearance, assembly fit or functional evaluation. Each purpose can lead to a different material and manufacturing choice.
MANUFACTURING SERVICES / toway casting
Rapid Prototyping ServicesLearn before you scale.
Use prototypes to answer a specific design question. Discuss CNC machining, additive or other prototype routes from the original service range against the part’s intended use.
PROJECT-FIRST THINKING
A clearer manufacturing conversation.
Geometry, material and acceptance requirements guide the route.
Select a feasible route
Review geometry, material and quantity before choosing a process. Confirm the proposed route and responsible manufacturing party in the quotation.
Control the revisions
Identify the drawing and model version. Record changes after each review so the next iteration answers a clear question.
Plan the production handoff
A prototype does not automatically qualify a production process. Revisit material, tolerances, inspection and tooling before a recurring order.
THE RFQ STARTING POINTDefine the part.
Define the part.
Then review the process.
Share the controlled drawing and CAD file, material, quantities and required delivery condition. Confirm the manufacturing scope, sample plan and inspection requirements with the quotation.

Define the surface your part needs.
Base material
Match the proposed finish to the specified alloy or polymer and its final condition.
Functional surfaces
Identify sealing faces, fits, threads and any surfaces that must be masked or protected.
Appearance
Agree on the texture, colour and reference sample before approving production.
Acceptance
Put measurable finish and inspection requirements on the drawing or purchase specification.
