Prototyping Services

Image

At Miller Precision Manufacturing Industries, Inc., we have years of experience in precision manufacturing, and provide prototyping services to augment our comprehensive manufacturing capabilities. This is a turnkey approach which includes large scale prototypes, function and form study prototypes, and short run production.

Our team is able to produce large scale designs for high or low volume manufacturing within a reasonable timeframe. Our experience includes creating blanks, brackets, cases, castings, fasteners, medical devices, stampings, tooling, and working models made from different materials. We use prototyping methods such as casting, CNC machining, waterjet cutting, and welding. We can even produce prototype models manually. If you’re looking for prototyping with specialized materials, our expertise includes projects using acrylic, metal, nylon, plastics, steels, and urethanes. Prototypes can be made with lengths up to 84", widths or heights of up to 40", and maximum weights of 4000 lbs. We are also capable of prototyping your idea with close tolerances of up to ± 0.0005".

We support our prototyping operations with additional services such as assembly, CAD design, CMM inspection, reverse engineering, heat treating, plating, painting, and welding. Our team has served a variety of industries that include agricultural, chemical, military, medical, oil & gas, packaging, and pharmaceutical. While prototyping designs and services are quoted on a job by job basis, rush service is also available.

Our team carries years of combined expertise in the prototyping arena, complimented by our continuous advancements in state-of-the-art machining operations. All of our work closely adheres to numerous process specifications, certifications, and standards such as ANSI, ASTM, AWS, ISO, QS, and RoHS, which ensures customer loyalty. Our philosophy remains the same: strict quality control standards, on-time performance, and working within your budget.
