Why cut prototypes by waterjet or laser
- No dies or tooling, so a design change is a new file, not a new tool
- The same process scales from one part to a production run
- Waterjet cuts the real material, including plastic, rubber, and stone, not a stand-in
- Parts can be bent, welded, drilled, and tapped in the same shop
From idea to part
You don’t need a finished CAD model to start. Many prototypes begin as a sketch with dimensions or an existing part that needs a change. We will ask the questions needed to make it and flag anything that will be expensive or hard to cut.
Then short runs
Once the design is settled, we can cut the next 10 or 100 from the same file. Repeat customers send revisions and reorders the same way.
