When you’re creating a metal product, sometimes it’s not enough to create a prototype that conveys the look and feel required. You want to go a few steps further, assessing the manufacturability, ergonomics, materials testing and usability of the piece. For these projects, you need functional prototyping — and PBZ Manufacturing can provide it.
PBZ Manufacturing specializes in helping companies scale and improve their prototyping and manufacturing processes. If you have products on the market and are looking to expand your prototyping efforts, please contact us to learn more about how we can help you take new products to market!
2D and 3D Modeling CapabilityFunctional prototyping is one of many steps between the formation of an idea and the creation of a finished product. Whether you’re starting with a basic concept or a proposed update to a tried-and-true product, you’ll need to combine your vision with a coordinated manufacturing strategy to bring it to life. A functional prototype will allow you to see how your product will work in the real world.
Our prototyping services can help you and your business in a variety of ways. With a functional prototype, you can:
With a functional prototype, you can gain a much clearer idea of what the product will be like during development.
When you first contact us, you’ll be connected to a project manager and/or an engineer who will help design and engineer the product in Solidworks software. You’ll then be able to see 3D renderings of what your product will look like.
After that, the team of experienced craftsmen at PBZ Manufacturing work with you to create a functional prototype of your new product.
We specialize in custom metal fabrication, including:
