From the union of components to the finished product

Validate solutions before mass production

Prototyping represents a fundamental phase in the production process at Metal Works, as it allows us to validate technical and design solutions before starting series production.
Through the creation of prototypes and samples, it is possible to verify the feasibility of the project, optimize the design and reduce the risks associated with industrialization.

Metal Works supports customers from the early stages of development, transforming ideas and drawings into functional prototypes, ready for in-depth testing and verification.

Sampling and Functional Prototypes

Prototyping can be carried out by creating product samples, using the same technologies and processes used for final production.
This approach allows for extremely realistic prototypes, ideal for:

• functional and mechanical tests

• dimensional and assembly checks

• evaluations on materials and finishes

• optimization of geometry and tolerances

Sampling allows us to identify any design issues before putting the product into production, reducing the risk of rework and subsequent modifications.

3D prototyping: speed and flexibility

Alongside traditional prototyping, Metal Works also uses 3D prototyping, a rapid and effective solution for preliminary product development.
3D printing allows you to create models and components in short times, ideal for:

• ergonomic and functional assessments

• assembly test

• space and coupling simulations

• technical and commercial presentations

3D prototyping speeds up the decision-making process, improving communication between the customer, the technical office, and the production department.

An Integrated Process with the Technical Office

The prototyping phase is closely integrated with Metal Works' technical office, which supports the customer in reviewing the project and optimizing technical solutions.
Through 2D/3D CAD design and feasibility analysis, each prototype is developed with the aim of ensuring manufacturability, quality, and industrial sustainability.

This approach allows you to:

• improve the efficiency of the production cycle right from the early stages;

• reduce industrialization times and costs;

• increase the reliability of the final product;

• facilitate the transition from prototype to series production.

From Prototyping to Series, a Single Partner

Thanks to Metal Works' operating model, prototyping is not a standalone activity, but an integral part of a coordinated production chain, which includes cutting, forming, welding, finishing, and assembly.

The customer benefits from:

• a single point of contact for development and production;

• validated prototypes ready for industrialization;

• reduction of production risks;

• greater efficiency and control over the entire process.

 

All metalworking, one partner

With Metal Works, laser tube cutting is not an isolated process, but part of an efficient, reliable and results-oriented production system.
