Services
Are you looking for a professional prototyping service to help actualize your ideas and assist with product development? Then you’ve come to the right place. Zhuanxin Precision provides excellent quality, quick turnaround, and cost-effective rapid prototyping services to customers across the world. Equipped with cutting-edge prototyping and production manufacturing technology, advanced industrial-grade equipment, and an expert team of engineers, Zhuanxin Precision can bring your idea from design to the market in just a few days. We’re excited to start working with you! If you have finished prototyping and are ready to move forward to production, please take a look at our low volume manufacturing service. Here are the main rapid prototyping processes we offer:
Rapid CNC machining
CNC machining is one of the most high-precision rapid prototyping technologies available. Although rapid CNC machining prioritizes short turnarounds over ultra-tight tolerances, the quality remains high.
Turnarounds are fast in low volumes, and CNC prototyping produces parts not too far from production quality. The cost is higher than 3D printing but the surface finish and part strength are often superior.
- CNC Milling — Milled prototype & production parts in plastic and metal
- CNC Turning — All types of round components
- CNC Grinding —Tight tolerance and good surface
- CNC EDM —For deep pocket & sharp conners.
Rapid 3D printing
Our 3D printing rapid prototyping services are ideal for 3D printed plastics and metals, with extensive material and finishing options available. These additive manufacturing technologies can also sometimes be used for production.
Because 3D printing doesn’t require tooling, prototyping of 3D printed parts takes only a short time, without sacrificing build quality. Other advantages include geometrical freedom and affordability, especially in low volumes.
3D printing is often preferred for concept models, but precision technologies SLM can also work for functional prototypes and even production parts.
- FDM — Low-cost plastic parts prototyping
- SLA — Plastic parts prototyping with exceptional surface finish
- SLM —Metal parts prototyping in steel or titanium
- SLS —Strong prototyping parts in nylon or nylon glass
Rapid Vacuum Casting
Rapid vacuum casting is a low-cost prototyping service for the production of low-cost plastic parts, particularly items like colorful display models.
Advantages of rapid vacuum casting include very low tooling costs compared to injection molding and a much lower minimum order quantity. And although vacuum cast parts are not especially durable, they come out of the mold with an excellent surface finish without post-processing.
The silicone mold used for rapid vacuum casting typically lasts around 20 shots, ideal for most prototyping scenarios.
- Rigid Plastics —Such as ABS, PC, PA simulate prototype parts
- Soft Rubber —Rubber like prototypes from Shore A 30 to 90 degrees.
- Wax —Patterns for low-vlume investment casting
Rapid Tooling
Prototyping tooling for molding is ideal when the customer requires between 100–2,000 units of their injection molded parts; more than this and production-level steel tooling may be preferred.
Advantages of rapid tooling include fast turnarounds and the ability to carry out prototyping and testing of injection molded parts that might otherwise take months to produce. Rapid tooling is also significantly cheaper than mass production tooling.
Although rapid tooling and rapid injection molding is more expensive than 3D printing, it provides plastic parts much nearer to production quality that can therefore be used for functional testing.
- Plastic Injection Mold
- Die Casting Mold
- Extrusion Mold
Rapid sheet metal prototyping
Rapid sheet metal prototyping is a set of rapid prototyping services for the production of sheet metal parts. This includes various forming, cutting, and assembly processes for manipulating the sheet metal stock in different ways.
Rapid sheet metal prototyping is generally used for flat parts like brackets and enclosures, and it can accommodate a range of sizes, including very large metal parts. Setup times can be longer than comparable processes, but sheet metal is highly cost-effective when making large and relatively simple parts.
An advantage of rapid sheet metal prototyping is that the solid sheet metal feedstock can later be CNC machined for additional features.
- Bending
- Stamping
- Welding
Rapid metal casting
Casting is generally considered a production process for high-quality metal parts, but rapid metal casting — using 3D printing to make low-cost patterns — offers an affordable route for prototyping cast metal.
Zhuanxin Precision rapid metal casting services are only available due to our close relationship with several large casting companies which typically would not accept low-volume (10+) prototyping orders from new customers.
Advantages of rapid metal casting include near production-quality metal parts, with potentially very large sizes, at surprisingly fast speeds. Cast parts also have excellent tensile strength and can also be post-machined.
- Pressure Die Casting
- Investment Casting
- Gravity Casting
