After the initial design of your part is complete, it is time to create a prototype for your final approval. The use of a prototype eliminates the need for an expensive production run and makes sure that once we commit to production, it is done right.
TMI uses CAD, CAM and 3D printing to produce short runs of your new rubber component. Rapid prototyping offers a few important and cost-saving advantages:
- We can experiment with and learn from prototypes
- We can initiate product testing, proofing, and final inspection
- We can analyze a component’s synthesis and integration
Using a prototype, we can refine and experiment with multiple materials for best functionality, chemical compatibility, and component interactivity. TMI will work diligently so we can complete the final design for production tooling.
Whether you need one piece or many, we can prototype almost any component using high quality standards so your final product can exceed your custom specifications.
TMI is always ready to help. We will consult from the beginning of your project through final production. Contact TMI for a complete analysis of your needs.
