As a business, before committing to a large order of a part or product, you want to ensure that the end result will be just what you need. But you also don't want to commit to a large-scale order, only to be stuck with parts that don't quite fit or work the way they should. That's where prototype machining comes in.
Preece Machining and Assembly offers low-volume machining services to help you create or modify products that fit your specific needs. With prototype machining, you can ensure that the end result will be just what you need before committing to a large order of a part or product. Our team at Preece Machining and Assembly will work with you to create the single part or assembly you need.

What Is Prototype Machining?
The prototype parts manufactured via prototype machining show significant resemblance to mass production parts. Compared with other processes, prototype machining has a faster lead time and is more cost-effective in certain cases. The prototype part can be tested for its function, structural strength, and weight prior to the start of mass production.
The process of prototype machining begins with the selection of raw material. The most common materials used for prototype parts are aluminum and brass alloys, although stainless steel, titanium, and other metals may also be used. The billets are first machined into blocks or tubes of specific dimensions. These billets are then cut or shaped into finished products according to design specifications using prototype machines such as lathe machines, milling machines, or CNC machining centers.
How Low-Volume Machining Can Help Your Business
Prototype machining is a cost-effective way to prototype your designs when you need to produce small quantities of parts. The lower costs and faster lead times offered by prototype machining can be extremely beneficial to businesses looking to produce low volumes of parts. In many cases, prototype machining can be a more economical option than other prototype manufacturing processes such as rapid prototyping.
Beyond that, low-volume machining allows you to test a small batch of a product to make sure the components will fit or work together properly. This ensures that your final product is both functional and high quality.
