Prototyping
From concept to first cut, we bring your ideas to life with fast, accurate prototyping. Our CNC technology allows for rapid iteration, helping you test, refine, and perfect your design before moving to full production.

CNC prototypes are ideal when the part is subjected to demanding functional tests, or the physical size of the parts make other prototyping methods cost prohibitive.
Advantages of

Rapid Prototyping With GibbsCAM
CAD/CAM Technology
Once the model is constructed, 3D CAD files are converted into a specific working format, which represents a three-dimensional surface as an assembly of pieces. Every file contains the precise coordinates of the vertices and the direction of each piece. Machinists at Share Machine balance accuracy and manageability to fabricate a useful working file.
Fit and function testing of prototypes avoids potential errors. At an early stage in production we are able to determine if a part is not machined to the right tolerances or if another material should be used. Testing verifies that we have obtained optimal prototypes prior to committing to erroneous tooling. With the right prototype as a guide, full-scale production runs smoothly and efficiently. Fast cycle times mean less labor, resulting in a better price to customers.
