At Active Manufacturing, our production environment is focused exclusively on custom metal prototyping and short-run production. We are equipped to provide everything from form study prototypes to high fidelity, fully functional models manufactured from production-grade materials. Our integrated capabilities allow for cost-effective, fast-track production at every stage of prototyping to accelerate product development.
We have an extensive set of machine tools for manufacturing prototypes with simple to elaborate design criteria. Along with high-speed, high precision 5-axis CNC machining centers, we have 3-and 4-axis mills and a turning center for creating machined components. With three fiber lasers and two CO2 lasers, we can cut intricately detailed 2D and 3D shapes in sheet metal and tubing. Micro forming servo presses enable us to create high accuracy miniature to small-sized parts using thin sheets. We combine single-stage tooling with high tonnage mechanical and hydraulic presses to simulate deep draw and progressive die parts. Our assets also include EDMs for generating both tooling and blanks. For multi-part prototypes, we handle all aspects of assembly.
By upfront planning and optimizing the sequence of production steps, we expedite prototype manufacturing from start to finish. We offer a range of material choices, including aluminum, steel, beryllium copper, stainless steel, etc. Our prototyping services are backed up by a technically skilled staff that uses a team-based approach to cover all aspects of production and quality inspection.
Our metal prototyping services adhere to ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing standards, and we use high-end metrology tools, like vision systems, CMMs, and optical comparators, to verify quality. We supply highly engineered prototypes to customers in various industries, including the automotive, defense, aerospace, medical, office furniture, food service, and others.
