Innovative Techniques in Sheet Metal Prototyping

 


We offer sheet metal rapid prototyping services for a variety of parts, including brackets, weldments, and housings, here at HLH Prototypes. Our ultra-low minimum order quantity of just one unit makes us the ideal choice for both low and mid-volume production. We specialize in sheet metal prototyping utilizing advanced techniques like punching, laser cutting, welding, and bending to create a wide range of accurate and high-quality parts.

Keeping up with technology

Sheet metal rapid prototyping has come a long way thanks to continuous technological advances, and our team here at HLH Prototypes remains committed to keeping up with innovations to improve how we manufacture metal components from sheet metals. In addition to laser cutting, we also specialize in 3D printing and CNC machining and offer these solutions to sheet metal prototyping projects to increase productivity and ensure accurate results.

Do more with laser cutting.

Laser-cutting technology is considered to be among the biggest advancements in sheet metal fabrication because of its precision and ability to achieve complex shapes. It can be used on various metals, enabling us to provide prototypes that meet your design requirements. Plus, it can cut quickly through thicker materials for a more efficient and speedy manufacturing process. Laser cutting also has unmatched precision, making it highly reliable and delivering consistent and clean cuts.

Automation

Human error (no matter how minor) can significantly impact the results of sheet metal rapid prototyping. This is why new laser cutters are fully automated and run on a program to ensure consistency and accuracy. They produce precise and clean cuts that require minimal finishing, so they are ready to move on to other production stages like press brakes, welding, bending, or punching.

Tips On Choosing The Right Prototypes Plastic Parts For Your Need

  Are you building a  prototype plastic part ? It's crucial to pick asuitable material, but that process can become intimidating as different plastics vary in durability, aesthetics, and strength. Even when prototyping, you’ll want to produce a production-grade prototype that lets you evaluate your product's performance in the real world. Here are some tips to reduce your guesswork in choosing plastics for your prototype.   Consider these critical factors.   Know the purpose of your part and its mechanical functions. You should also consider your manufacturing processes, such as CNC machining, injection molding, or 3D printing. Moreover, determine the quantity, the cost, and the lead times.   Explore commonly used plastics   Reputable manufacturers constantly update their selection of plastics, but these are the most common types you can consider for your  prototype plastic part :   ·         Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS): This is a strong material w

Rapid Tooling: A Perfect Speed to Market Product Development Solution

One of the greatest challenges that product manufacturers and designers face today is finding ways to speed up time to market. With consumer demands leaning toward rapid product development, manufacturers and product designers feel the pressure of having to churn out products in the fastest time possible. Just the same, new product development still requires a prototyping stage in order to ensure the feasibility of the product design, including its general shape and form, assembly, and functionality. Thanks to new technology, rapid tooling methods are becoming increasingly commonplace, enabling manufacturers to reap the benefits of much faster methods to create prototypes, which in turn speeds up product testing, final production, as well as its release into the market at large. Rapid tooling offers faster lead times of mere days instead of weeks or months, just like conventional manufacturing ways. Five to ten days is already a stretch when trying to get at least 50 prototype

Different Types of 3D Printing Prototypes

Additive manufacturing lets you build three-dimensional objects based on your digital drawing model. It creates a custom   3D printing prototype  by adding materials one layer at a time or by sintering or fusing powdered materials, depending on the method you use.   Technologies have come a long way and introduced more 3D printing methods to help you make prototypes quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. Here are the most common types you may want to know. Stereolithography SLA 3D printing is among the oldest and most versatile additive manufacturing technologies. It builds the object layer by layer using a photocurable resin cured with an intense UV laser in the build platform. The result is a  3D printing prototype  with a good surface finish and optimum accuracy to the CAD. The process involves support structures to keep the material in place while printing, but these are removed afterward. This technology is ideal for making aesthetic models and bespoke or low-volume pr
