PROTOTYPE PARTS
Let Datum support your R&D (research and development) prototype requirements. We know tooling represents a significant cost to your business and often you cannot commit to producing the tooling until you are 100% certain your ideas will work. When you are developing new products, tools or machinery it is not cost effective to get expensive tooling manufactured to trial a new part or test a theory.

Prototypes for Research & Development
In the initial stages of product development prototypes can help a business evaluate variations prior to finalising a design. Prototype samples are a crucial part of R&D to test a concept and can avoid costly errors in mass production and speed up the product development process. Metal prototyping is used for product design across a wide variety of industries including the optical industry, automotive manufacturing, mechanical engineering, pcb manufacturing, robotics, aerospace, airline industry, reusable energy, oil & gas, medical, electronics, photographic & film equipment, construction, appliance manufacturing, transportation industry, battery technology, utility industries, and machine manufacturing.
Whether you are developing a new innovative product or improving an existing one let Datum work with you. Our experienced engineers will take your design and create model prototype parts to precise tolerances. Prototypes can minimise your R&D investment risk by providing a fast, effective, low investment solution. At product development phase you have the opportunity to fail – your prototype design can be refined and remade avoiding failure in production which would cost time, money, and reputation. At Datum we will build and rework your model for testing and evaluation until the prototype design is ready for implementation.
