Prototyping
Validate appearance, fit, assembly, and function before committing to production tooling.
Recommended processes: 3D printing and CNC machining
Explore PrototypingEngineers choose XFABRO for practical support from CAD review through production, helping reduce revisions, clarify requirements, and control manufacturing risk.
We review models and drawings for dimensions, tolerances, wall thickness, and manufacturability risks, helping prevent avoidable changes later.
We identify manufacturability, risk, and cost issues early, then suggest practical improvements before production.
We compare suitable processes, materials, lead times, and pricing so you can choose a production path that fits the part and project.
We confirm drawings, revisions, materials, finishes, inspection, and documentation so production starts from an agreed specification.
We define critical dimensions, tolerances, and inspection requirements to protect fit, function, and repeatability.
Compare material options by process, performance, finish, and cost before confirming the best fit for your part.

We support commonly used 3D model and 2D drawing formats:
Recommended practices:
We recommend a process based on the following factors:
General selection guidelines:
Yes. We support prototypes, low-volume production, and repeat orders.
Achievable tolerances depend on part size, geometry, material, process, surface finish, and inspection method.
Critical dimensions and inspection requirements are reviewed and confirmed in the quotation before production.
Lead time is confirmed after reviewing the process, part, material, quantity, tooling, finish, and inspection needs.
Your quote lists production lead time; shipping is estimated separately.
Yes. Before production, we conduct a design for manufacturability (DFM) review that covers:
We confirm any proposed design changes with you before production.
First article inspection is available for critical parts and production orders before full production.
