HLH Prototypes Co LTD

  Looking to prototype enclosures, weldments, or other sheet metal parts? Compared to traditional manufacturing, sheet metal rapid prototyping is often the faster and more cost-effective method for prototyping these components. While we provide traditional manufacturing services like CNC machining and direct metal laser sintering, we often suggest sheet metal rapid prototyping for low to mid-volume runs to maximize your savings. Keep reading to understand the advantages of sheet metal rapid prototyping over traditional methods. What is traditional manufacturing? Traditional prototyping uses conventional machining and sometimes includes established methods like injection molding and CNC machining. While these methods are known for their material consistency and accuracy, they can also be time-consuming and expensive for prototyping because they require extensive tooling and labor. The limited design flexibility of these prototype manufacturing methods also make it quite costly t...

  Time is of the essence in the fast-paced landscape of product development, and as a product designer or engineer, you need to transform ideas into prototypes as quickly as possible. If you don't, you risk falling behind and your product becoming outdated. Prototyping companies can help. Prototyping services allow you to iterate designs and get user feedback quickly to minimize risks, and we offer them here at HLH Prototypes. Keep reading to learn how our solutions can support your product's success. Validation and feedback Prototyping allows you to test ideas with tangible products so you can gather feedback from stakeholders and users as early as possible. You can address design flaws before end-use production and ensure that your final product meets the user’s needs. Fast iteration Prototyping companies enable rapid iteration to help you make and test several versions of your part quickly. This approach lets you adjust your design based on user feedback, ensuring y...

  Looking for a way to create high-quality parts without the expense and wait of production tooling? Vacuum casting (also known as cast urethanes) is a versatile technique for making everything from car bumpers to headphones. However, while it's an economical and advanced method for prototyping, it does have some challenges that can lead to poorly cast parts. Working with an experienced prototyping in China can help you prevent such issues. In this blog, we will share the common challenges in cast urethanes and the solutions to overcome them. Read on to discover how to make vacuum casting work for you while avoiding any hassles. Short mold lifespan Keep in mind that silicone molds aren't designed for high-volume production — you'll usually get between 20 and 50 parts before the mold starts to degrade. We can look into alternative manufacturing solutions such as rapid injection molding if you require more parts. Bubbles in the silicone mold Bubbles render the mo...
