Developing a quality prototype is one of the most important steps in manufacturing a part. Not only does it allow the engineering team to test the functionality and usefulness of the part, but it also helps show its mechanical feasibility. Because of this, JDI integrates itself early in the prototype development stage of a component so that we are able to assist in perfecting the design of both the part and the mold used to make it. Our clients often appreciate the recommendations that we are able to provide as we collaborate to improve upon the cost and manufacturability of each part.
Once the design of the initial prototype is complete, we offer 3D printing services to produce a completed part at a low cost prior to building an actual mold. A large benefit of this capability is providing customers with an opportunity to find potential issues with their prototype prior to jumping to the next steps of the molding process. Our service offers a quick turnaround time and material flexibility to produce a near-identical part to one that would be ejected from a molding machine. Occasionally, it may still be best to build a prototype mold initially prior to building a production tool.
We tailor our services and requirements around the needs of each individual customer, which allows us to provide the best performance at a very competitive price. We are proud to be able to offer our customers more solutions so that they can narrow down their supply chain and supplier base.
