Prototypes & Development Parts
At Brüninghaus and Drissner, we offer a range of specialized services focused on the development and refinement of new products in the area of prototypes and development parts. The process begins with the conceptualization and evaluation of new product ideas, followed by the development of 3D models and technical drawings. Prototypes are produced using methods such as 3D printing or CNC machining, with materials chosen to match the final production requirements.
The prototypes are then thoroughly tested to verify their functionality and durability. The test results are used to optimize the design iteratively. This process also involves planning the tooling and production requirements for prototype manufacturing. Technical documentation is created to record CAD files, bills of materials, and inspection procedures, while design changes and test results are meticulously documented. Collaboration with customers and internal departments ensures that requirements and outcomes are aligned. Cost estimates for prototype development and production are carefully managed to ensure efficient cost control. These steps are critical to ensuring that prototypes meet the desired specifications and are prepared for mass production.
