Prototype Work
From concept to production, Holbro Engineering Ltd has cutting-edge solutions for your electrical or mechanical ideas. Our new 3D scanning and printing capabilities enable Holbro Engineering to quickly design and print prototype models.
Our prototyping service allows for a rapid, cost-effective project development to client needs, utilizing modern design and manufacturing techniques.
We have a diverse skill set and wide range of expertise allow us to tackle any project - big or small. We can also assist with material selection, tooling and provide expert consultation regarding best techniques and processes.
Prototyping often includes development from scratch with just an outline sketch of the required part. This is where our knowledge and experience comes to the fore, as we are able to take these projects through from concept to prototype.
Technical Information
We can copy obsolete parts directly in the case or turned parts, or prepare technical drawings for remanufacture. We can also reverse engineer components, dismantling larger assemblies and both replicate component function and improve performance characteristics.
We can make design changes quickly, either through primary CAD design or through the modification of machine stored cutting programs.
When time is money, reducing the production time is critical to the bottom line, especially in large volumes. Holbro Engineering Ltd can assist in evaluating prototype production techniques including reducing multiple set-up times, minimising cross machine transfers, ie milling/turning operations and optimising roughing and finishing operations.
