Product Prototyping

Metal forming and 3D printing at AV Technologies

A design is only proven once you can hold it, push it around a building and put it in front of real users. Our in-house prototyping facilities in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire turn CAD drawings into physical products quickly, so ideas can be tested, refined and signed off with confidence.

Because design and manufacture sit under one roof, lessons learned from each prototype feed straight back into the drawings, with no detail lost in translation.

Once the prototype is approved, the same facilities move seamlessly into batch production of the finished product.

Our Capabilities

One-Off Prototyping & Batch Production

From a single proof-of-concept unit through to repeatable batch production runs, built to the same exacting standard.

Machining, Cutting & Forming

Precision CNC machinery cuts, machines and forms extrusion and flat panel components to tight tolerances.

3D Printing

Rapid 3D printed parts for brackets, fixtures and fittings, ideal for testing a design before committing to tooling.

Finishing

Professional finishing in a range of colours and surface options, so the finished unit looks right in its environment.

Start With the Design

Prototyping works best on the back of a well resolved design. If your product is still on the drawing board, our product design service will take it from idea to production-ready CAD first.
