How Low-Volume Production Enables Faster Prototyping and More Agile Product Development

  Do you need a small batch of identical parts, prototypes, or end-use parts? Low-volume production can make it happen at a reasonable cost and within a shorter time frame. At HLH Prototypes, we specialize in producing anywhere from a single unit to 100,000 prototypes and custom parts for a wide range of industries. This allows our customers to leverage the benefits of adaptability, cost-efficiency, and flexibility that low-volume production provides. By producing small quantities of parts, we bridge the gap between prototyping and full-scale production — ideal for companies that need to innovate quickly and respond to rapidly changing market demands. Ultimately, low-volume production can give you a significant competitive edge in your industry. Join us in this blog as we explore the advantages of low-volume production and how it can accelerate your prototyping and project development timelines. We'll also delve into the various manufacturing technologies that make this effici...

From Concept to Production: How Rapid Injection Molding Accelerates the Product Life Cycle

  Bringing your product to market shouldn't be a slow and costly process. Rapid injection molding — a service we offer here at HLH Prototypes — can help you accelerate your time to market. This solution allows you to quickly and cost-effectively transform your concepts into tangible realities. It's a valuable tool for product designers, engineers, and innovators who need to stay ahead of the curve. A game-changing technology Rapid injection molding offers a faster way to manufacture prototypes and end-use parts within a shorter timeline. It’s quicker because it uses a pre-designed mold made from aluminum or steel, depending on your production volume. For low-volume production, we recommend steel molds due to their proven ability to outlast aluminum molds. Rapid prototyping makes injection molding a more efficient and cost-effective way to create tangible models of your designs. By speeding up the process, you can quickly iterate and refine your ideas, reducing the time a...

CNC Machining Prototype: Delivering Superior Accuracy for Complex Product Designs

  When designing a new product, you’re competing with other designers or engineers who might offer the same or a similar solution. This is why it’s important to complete your project quickly and cost-effectively, starting with a high-quality prototype. The key is to turn your ideas into a tangible model as soon as possible to speed up the time to market and complete the product development as soon as possible. Technologies like CNC machining are ideal for quickly creating a prototype . CNC machining is among our manufacturing technologies here at HLH Prototypes. Let’s talk about how it can help speed up your product development process and its role in ensuring high-quality designs. Understanding CNC machining CNC machining is an older and highly-established technology that uses computer-controlled cutting tools to precisely shape your prototype from a solid block of material. This ensures your CNC machining prototype is an incredibly accurate representation of your original...
