Prototypes are an important part of product development process. Prototypes can be used to test the functionality, structure, and manufacturability of a product prior to launching serial production.

Meconet’s customer support and prototype manufacture offers many industries a fast and flexible path towards volume products. We will assist in solving the technical and logistical challenges of product manufacture already in the development stage.

Support for the kick-off and further stages of product development

Prototypes help make sure the product functions as intended and can be manufactured efficiently. They are also an important part of further product development.

Technical design support
Our customers can benefit from our experience in metal forming, manufacturing technologies, and prototype manufacture already in the early stages of product development.

Technology days for R&D teams
We arrange technology days dedicated to reviewing the possibilities and suitability of manufacturing technologies for product development teams with special needs.

Optimisation of manufacturability
We assist in evaluating how to manufacture a product so that the transition from prototype to production takes place as smooth as possible.

Prototype projects

Our experienced prototype team implements projects efficiently and on schedule. Prototypes are manufactured in a manner mirroring the serial production stages – this way, their functionality and manufacturability can be realistically assessed already in the development stage.

From prototypes to small series

Prototype testing is often followed by small-scale production prior to actual serial production. After the prototype stage, we will manufacture small series that can be used for testing product functionality in practice.

In case of small series, 0.1–8.0mm thick material can be used. Examples of material options include coated and uncoated steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and copper. 

We will help with choice of materials and take care of launching manufacture so that the transition to serial production takes place in a smooth manner.

Partner for growing companies

We also support growing companies and start-ups in product development and manufacture. We offer support for product design and complete solutions for prototype manufacture and production. In addition, we can help with supply chain building, production scaling, and logistics solutions.

We have at our disposal the right machines and equipment for efficient manufacturing, as well as extensive procurement channels for materials, special materials, and surface treatments.
