We recently completed the development of our rapid prototype system that allows for quick turn-around of precision metal stampings (http://www.meiertool.com/Tooling.htm)with a process that closely simulates the results of a high speed progressive die. Engineering and development costs are kept to a minimum through the use of interchangeable tooling components. Only the tooling that is specific to the product design is custom made. This tooling is inserted into a prototype system that cuts and forms with the same process used in the production operation. Using this method, prototypes most closely resemble the end product by displaying typical cut-by, shear, and other features that only result from stamping the parts during high volume production. Prototype development results are fed into the progressive die design to ensure product quality on the first volume production run. Components as thin as .001” are produced this way. Any number of alloys are used, including stainless steels, titanium, nickel, beryllium copper, and precious metals. Prototypes can be designed and manufactured in 1-4 weeks, depending on complexity. This process is used for projects with expected annual volumes of 50,000 pieces or greater.
