Benefits of Prototyping for Metal Stampings, Plastic Injection Molding, and Insert Overmolding

We’ve Got Your Back

Our metals, plastics, and tooling experts provide your engineering team with the support they need to fully vet your part and tooling designs before you enter full production.

Catching Errors Early

It’s much easier and less costly to fix mistakes on a prototype than it is once you’ve produced thousands of your components. 

Optimize. Simplify. Repeat.

The prototyping process can reveal features of your part design that do not contribute value to the end product. In some cases, we see that there is room for additional variance on tolerances or other specifications that, when adjusted, enhance the feasibility of your part design for full production.

Poultry Feeding Systems

We worked with an agricultural equipment OEM and our chain supplier to overmold plastic discs onto the chain. This unique product helps provide even distribution of feed in a chain feeder system.

Plastic Pest Traps

We helped this customer streamline the design of their injection molded mouse traps while also enabling them to imprint their brand name directly onto the product.

Why Prototype with LMC?

There are many companies that offer prototyping services where the design is passed onto the eventual manufacturer after the prototyping process is completed. When we prototype your parts, we ensure that you’ll have a more predictable outcome in your final parts.
