Prototyping Services to Accelerate Product Development

In new product development, the prototyping phase is crucial for validating designs, conducting fit and function tests, and iterating improvements before moving to production. Here are some of Zintilon’s top prototyping services:

Quick-Turn CNC Machining – For basic machined samples, their standard 5-day lead time delivers parts quickly to keep projects moving. Engineers are also available for design consultation.

Rapid Prototyping – Their in-house 3D printing, CNC milling, and sheet metal fabrication allow producing conceptual models, functional prototypes, and short runs within days.

Multi-Axis Machining – Complex geometries for testing assemblies and tight tolerances are achievable using their modern 5-axis machining centers.

Design for Manufacturability – Engineers will review your designs and recommend DFM improvements to simplify production like minimum draft angles, wall thicknesses, and machinable features.

Prototype Revisions – Iterating prototypes is fast thanks to short lead times and flexible MOQ levels whether you need a few parts or hundreds.

By leveraging Zintilon’s streamlined prototyping services, engineers can accelerate the product validation cycle and get finished goods prototypes much quicker to gather essential user feedback.

CNC Machining for Production Parts and Hardware

Once a design is validated, Zintilon can also handle ongoing production needs with fast lead times, quality control, and competitive pricing on custom CNC machined parts and enclosures. Some key production capabilities include:

• High-volume multi-axis milling and turning of complex parts in aluminum, plastics, and alloys
• Full-service sheet metal fabrications like laser cutting, punching, bending, and welding
• Precision Swiss turnings, screw machine components, geared parts, and miniature hardware
• Certified anodizing, plating, powder coating, and other surface finishing processes
• Meticulous in-process and final inspections using 3D scanning and multisensor metrology
• Packaging and shipping in ESD-safe materials directly to your facilities worldwide

With strong production management and the flexibility to accommodate varying lot sizes, Zintilon ensures a reliable supply chain for customer products with no minimum order quantities (MOQs).
