HKAA Industrial:Precision Prototypes,Production Ready.

Go from concept to functional, high-fidelity parts in days. Our 3/5-axis CNC machining ensures the “tightest tolerances” and “superior surface finishes”using real production materials.

What is CNC Prototype Service?

CNC Prototype Service refers to the use of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools to quickly produce prototypes that are highly consistent with the final product size, shape, and function based on the 3D model or drawing provided by the customer. This service plays an important role in the early stages of product development and can help designers and engineers verify product design, evaluate product performance, and conduct functional testing.

Advantages of CNC Prototype Service

Rapid prototyping: CNC machining can quickly transform designs into physical objects and shorten product development cycles.

High precision: CNC machining has high precision and can produce prototypes with precise dimensions and smooth surfaces.

Material diversity: CNC machining can process a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, composite materials, etc., to meet the needs of different products.

Complex structure: CNC machining can process parts with complex shapes to meet personalized customization needs.

Repeatability: CNC machining can mass-produce the same prototypes, which is convenient for comparative testing.

Cost-effectiveness: Compared with traditional manual production, CNC machining is cheaper and more efficient.

Application of CNC Prototype Service

Product Design Verification: In the early stage of product design, by making prototype parts, it is possible to verify whether the appearance, size, and function of the product meet the design requirements.

Functional Testing: Through prototype parts, product performance tests can be carried out, such as strength testing, wear resistance testing, etc.

Mold Manufacturing: CNC processing can quickly manufacture molds for small batch production or trial production.

Concept Verification: Transform ideas into physical objects to verify the feasibility of products.

Market Research: Collect user feedback and optimize product design by displaying prototype parts.

CNC Prototype Service FAQ

What is the difference between CNC Prototype Service and 3D Printing?

CNC machining has higher precision and better surface quality, and is suitable for making parts with complex structures. 3D printing is suitable for making parts with complex shapes, but the precision is relatively low.

What information do you need to provide for CNC prototyping?

Generally, you need to provide a 3D model (such as STEP, IGES format) or a detailed drawing.

How long is the CNC prototyping cycle?

The production cycle depends on the complexity of the part, the material selection and the quantity, which is generally a few days to a few weeks.

How to calculate the cost of CNC prototyping?

The cost mainly depends on factors such as materials, processing time, and post-processing.
